ton of flowers for which she was such a
dear lover and had such a gift to arrange 50
artistically made her widely known. She
was ever ready to do what she could for
those around her was a constant church MEM
Der and always present at Sunday School in
the Bible class. She will be greatly missed by
the people. Her choicest flowers were al
ways on the church pulpit; for she took that
part of the church work on herself. Services
were held at the church last Saturday a M
by Rev. j. Dingwell, who preached a very
sympathetic and comforting sermon from
John, 18th Chap, 25 verse ~ am the resur
rection.' The pulpit was draped with black
looped with white pond lilies. The flowers
We're beautiful. A large pillow was arranged
by Mrs. Jackson Curtis, the handles of the
casket We're filled with pond lilies, crosses
and wreathS made of choicest flowers We're
profuse. The W. L. c., of which she was
member, had charge of the flowers. They
had short and impressive service each put
ting bouquet upon the casket. D. A. Nye
had charge of the funeral. Mr.. Frank Nye
was summoned from Bangor as soon a. she
passed away to embalm her 80 she could be
kept until the children all arrived; for which
they felt very grateful. Sympathy is ex-
tended to the husband and children. May
they meet again
"Where the flowers bloom eternal
And the land is all so bright
Abial G. Hall of Knox died very suddenly
July 9th while at work in the hay field He
was raking hay with a horse-rake and got
down from the machine apparently to fix
something about the harness and fell for
ward under the horse. When others who
We're at work near by reached him he was
dead. He was good citizen and a consist
ent church member. He leaves wife and
two daughters Mrs. Willis Waning CT Free
dom and Mrs Henry Fernald of Troy. The
funeral was held Sunday and was largely
attended. Rev. Fl. Small of Bowdoinhalu
otficiated.
Mrs. Frank H. Sargent died at her resi-
dence, 50 Highland Ave, Salem, Mass, July
25th, after a long Illness. She was a woman of
strong religious character, active in every
good work, valued member of the South
Congl Church, and her death brings loss
not only to her immediate family circle, but
to large number of friends
On the morning of July 9Th Mrs. Alice
Garcelon Weymouth of Troy, after a long
and distressing illness, quietly and peace
fully passed from earth's sutferings. She
was the daughter of Lorenzo and Phebe Gil
key Garcelon and was born in Troy Oct.
10h, 1852. When Alice was but child her
mother was in failing health The sudden
and unexpected death of her only sister pre-
coded that of her mother: thus, in early life
Alice assumed the cares and responsibilities
that have ever, to an unusual degree, fallen
to her share. Previous to her marriage,
when home duties permitted, she taught
several schools. In 1878 she became the
Wife of A. w. Weymouth, who was the only
son of the late Rev. n. F. WEYMOUTH, 80
universally remembered with love and re-
spect. Their home was an ideal one, for
amid all its labor and care, peace and
affection found within its wallis dwelling
place. In 1855 the kind devoted nus hand,
while engaged as usual IN active farm labor,
was taken suddenly away, leaving the af-
tilcted widow with four helpless little ones.
This shock, the greatest and most severe OF
her HE, was perhaps the beginning of her
fatal illness Since that time, with her chill
dren, she has shared her fathers home. The
great desire of her life was that she might
live to see her children grown to manhood
and womanhood, and why that wish was
denied is one of the things it is 50 hard to
understand. Her life and character We're
such as could not fail to win the admiration
and respect of all with whom she associated,
for amid all her trials and affections, she
manifested that Christian fortitude and self
possession that characterized her whole life.
In governing her children, just a word
spoken in her quiet but firm and decided
manner was sufficient. She was tall and
distinguished in person, possessed of that
ease and grace which fitted her to adorn the
most cultured society, and united with
loving and affectionate disposition gained for
her the warm love of a large circle of
frienos, and we think, as has been remarked,
"She Lad not an enemy in the world An
old scLoomate and friend, who had ever
been intimately acquainted with her said to
me, ut is seldom in our most intimate
trends that we cannot see something that
we could wish different, but Alice had not a
single trait that would wish changed" In
her eldest daughter her own life seems re-
produced, Tor with womanly care and forti-
tude she had not only faithfully and loving
ly cared for her invalid mother, but has
superintended the affairs of the house and
to the younger ones been both mother and
sister. Much sympathy is expressed for the
orphaned children and lonely father, who is
now IN his declining years. The thought
comes to me as | recall his familiar name,
that it will awaken in many hearts pleasant
memories OF the "favorite teacher whose
patience and kindness ever won the love
and esteem of his pupils. Not only as a
teacher and supervisor of schools is his
name associated with the past, but down all
the succeeding years with the public affairs
of the town and is also identified with those
of the State. For his love and kindness to
the orphan children may he reap rich har-
vest of care and affection, and may golden
sunset brighten his way to the end of ife's
Journey. Pittstield Advertiser.
Alden l.. Tyler, Rockland 8 veteran school
teacher, died at his residence on Camden
street last evening, aged IS years 2 months
Some two years ago he was stricken with
paralysis and instead of rallying, as it was
universally hoped he might, he had gradual
ly failed ever since Mr.. Tyler had been
teacher in the public schools of what is now
Rockland for about half century, having
commenced his work here some years before
the city was incorporated in 1854 While he
had not taught continuously all this time, he
had been connected with the schools either
as teacher or as supervision during the
whole period and the greatest part of the
time as grammar school principal. He
had also been connected with the city gov
ernment and in that capacity interested
himself deeply in promoting the welfare of
our public school system. Practically the
whole of hia life work was piVpO to the
