SwANvILLE. Wednesday afternoon, March
24th, our community was painfully shocked
by news of the instant death of Augusta,
wife of Hon. A. E. Nickerson She had been
in excellent health and spirits and performed
her household duties that morning as usual.
Toward noon she spoke of pains in her lungs
but would not consent TO have a physician
got up to put some apples in to cook and
fell in the pantry, Medical attendance was
Immediately summoned, but all in vain
The noble life was ended. She was the only
daughter of Ambrose and Acenith Strout,
born in Unity, Nov ., 1889 When she was
about years old her parents moved to this
place. She married Alfred f. Nickerson
.1nlV 81 1850 They Spttla1 and II
boys, "a. Eugene, who is in the employ of
the Paris FIGURING Company, Portland,
Percy L.. a student of the Maine State Col
lege at Orono and Ernest who was at
tending school at the time of his mothers
death in Worcester,) completed the happy
home. Mrs. n. was one of those women
who must be thoroughly known to be fully
appreciated. Those who knew her best
loved her most. Her life was like some
priceless book whose pages told of firm con-
victlons, close adherence to all which was
purest and best, kindly deeds to the unfortu-
nate, sympathy for the distressed, devotion
and self-sacritice in the home, and through
all the sunshine of a happy and grateful
heart. Long, long before We thought of the
end, the volume was abruptly closed. But
noble influence is left which will not soon
be forgotten and can never be effaced.
Her death is great loss, for she was
very active IN all good works, an in
valuable friend, kind neighbor, and
devoted wife and mother. The funeral SER
vices were conducted at the church on the
afternoon of Saturday, March 9th, by Rev.
Charles Henry Wells of Belfast. Sorrowing
friends from far and near sent floral tributes,
those silent messengers of love and sympa-
thy. Although the roads We're very bad the
church would hardly L old the many friends
who came to pay their last regards to one
who had been among them so long and will
be so sadly missed Mr.. Henry Greeley
and Mrs. Frank Spratt Ct Bar Harbor, Mrs.
E. II. Nickerson of Portland and Mr.. An
drew Nickerson of Corinth were among the
number. Prof Albert Bailey came from
Wore ester Thursday, but was unable to re-
main. The sorrowing husband, sons and
brothers have the deepest sympathy of
large circle of friends in their terrible sor-
row. Miss Mamie Nickerson returned to
her home in Corinth Sunday. Mr.. Fl.
Greeley, Mrs. Frank Spratt and A. Eugene
