months. The burial services were at the
old Centre schoolhouse, sermon by Robert
Hall of China. The choir at Branch Mills
were present and sang very appropriate
lections. The deceased will be much miss
ed in this section, where she has ever been
ready to lend helping hand when those
about her were sick. After she was taken
sick her friends aud neighbors showed their
good will by contributing SAT to carry her
through the remainder of life. In 1865 that
dreadful disc ase, ,diphtheria, invaded her fam
lily circle and took five of her children from
her embrace. In 1871 she accepted the gift
OF saving grace and her baptism was public
ly announced. The day came, but to our
surprise she had been baptised that morn
ing before breakfast in the stream near the
house, as she wished to avoid the crowd.
The sacred rite was administered by Mr.
Rall in the presence of the family. She was
born June IL, 1927 She leaves husband
and two sons who stood by her until the
last spark of life had fed. She was laid
away to rest in the Smith cemetery. A. G.
Ellen L., wife of j. 4. Littlefield, died at
her home in Brooks, March 18TH of pneu-
monia, aged SO years and 10 months. Mrs.
Littlefield was born and had always lived in
Brooks excepting two years in Belfast while
her husband was sheriff. She was a kind
and affectionate wife and mother and al
ways ready to help the poor and unfortu
nate. She was member of the N. P. W. G.
I. u, a charter member of Frederick Ritch-
lie Grange, and member of Waldo County
Grange. She leaves husband, two sons
and large circle of relatives and friends to
mourn their loss. The funeral service by
Rev. c. II. Wells of Belfast, Sunday, March
Dist, was largely attended. The floral offer
ings were very fine. Mrs. NJ. j. Gammaus,
Mrs. w. l.. Littlefeld and others furnished
cut flowers, the A Alliance beautiful wreath,
and the Grange handsome casket piece
with the letters P of II. in the centre. The
husband and children have the sincere and
heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of

of the police that convinces them that
PcSchmann is innocent. They now nope
to secure Peschmanns pardon and to

is not probable that there will be any
