Obituary.

Mrs Sarah Meader died very suddenly at
Goth, aged 50 years and months. Mrs. NJ
was born in Belmont and was the daughter
of Bartlette and Sarah Briggs and was the
wife of Isaac Meader, who died in the late
civil war leaving her with five small chill
dren. Eliza, the oldest, married James
Palmer of Montville; Oscar lives in Morrill,
Georgia married Eben Flagg, Jr., and re-
sides in California; Charles II. lives in Bel
mont. and Herbert NJ, the youngest, lived
with his mother at the time of her death.
She was of retiring disposition and her
greatest ambition was to make her home
happy. She did all she could for her chill
dren, never wearying, and was never known
to murmur or complain at her lot. AS a
neighbor she was loved and respected by all
and was an ardent Christian. She leaves
, besides her children two brothers and one
sister-John Briggs of Belfast, Thaddeus
Briggs and Albina Pease of Belmont. The
funeral was held at the Halls Corner school
house, Rev. G. G. Winslow of Belfast otfici-
ating. The floral tributes were many, show
ing the high esteem in which she was held
by ALL The interment was in South Belmont
cemetery. The family have the sympathy of
all.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven

A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled
God in his wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Mrs. Sarah A. Nash of Morrill, passed
away Friday evening after an illness of only
few days. Mrs. Nash was born in Mont
Vile over 10 years ago, and for more than 40
years had been resident of Morrill, Her
death was unexpected and has shocked the
entire community very difficult opera
ton was performed Thursday by Drs. Pear
son of Morrill, and Camden, assisted by DR..
G. C. Kilgore of Belfast, and from this oper-
alton Mrs. Nash never rallied. AS it was
her request to take the one chance, general
satisfaction is now felt among those who
mourn. Much credit is reflected upon the
physicians, las everything was done thorough
ly that medical science could do. Surely
but slowly the end came, and as the su n
slowly sinks into the west when the day is
done she passed into the great eternity
peacefully. She leaves three children, two
sisters and an aged husband, to mourn their
loss Mrs. Nash has been moral, upright
woman and will be much missed by her
loved ones, and by all the village people.
The funeral services We're conducted Sunday
afternoon at o'clock by Rev. A D. Thibo-
deau, pastor of the NJ. E, church, and the in
terment was in Morrill, cemetery.

ter and ability, and enjoyed the respect and
esteem of all his townsmen and neighbors

One day Gounod, OIL entering the
room of Rossini, found him humping
the piano with all his might, but draw
ing the most discordant noise from the
instrument "What in the name of all
that is good are you playing?" asked
the Frenchman II am trying to play

And set in frame of golden hair q fair young

Whose two soft eyes of deepest blue look visit

NIT all corners, sit alone and read OF
study, or sit with his congenial friend
and talk out whatever he may have the
good fortune to have in his mind. One
Harvard graduate certainly, who found
many pleasures of very varied sorts in
college, remembers very few with such
sense Of solid comfort duly taken as
certain talks had i'll college rooms with
good men, though young, about letters
and life and people, the immediate en-
vironment and the greater world on the
brink of which all college men stand.
Music has charms, superlatiye charms,

In this same graduate IS memory there
are few musical associations more con-
soling than the memory of what he
heard, half asleep III chair before Il

peaceful memories of college are the
