n.,,b Of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Carmody.

Meath Of Mrs, Mary Elizabeth Carmody.
Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Carmody, who died
an sunday at the age of 80, was the only
remainng daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Griniu. The cause of her death was
catarrhal consumption, a disease that had
already overtaken two sisters and brother.
Mrs Carmody was a native of Hinsdale and
though living at certain periods with her
narents i'm Westmorelaud and Ashuelot, vet
her home and her fondest associations were
here,
In June, 1896, she married James NJ.
Corni5dv of Haverhill, Mass, and shortly
after their marriage they began life in
New Haven, where Mr. Carmody was en-
,arei in the market business, but the eli

band latterly being in business at Lowell
Mass
Last July a son came to gladden. their
lives and all went we'll till the late autumn
months, when it was noticed that both
mother and child seemed to languish. The
cold winter months were peculiarly trying
to both, and although she kept up bravely
and concealed her real condition from her
husband, vet it was evident to those who
saw her often that she was gradually fad
ing and the end came suddenly, for she was
confined to her room and bed only short
time before death. With the first day of
May-the month she had looked forward to
with such bright hopes as the time when
she should join her husband in Lowell
and mako for themselves a home, she pass
ed away in the early morning.
Beside her husband and infant son, who
is yet in delicate health, Mrs. Carmody
leaves father and mother and one broth
er. The funeral services were held at St
Joseph's church on Tuesday morning and
the burial was in the family lot in Keene
Those who knew Mrs. Carmody intimate

REV, WILLIAM WELLS,
First Sermon Preached in the
"New Meeting House"

In Its Original Location on the Com
mOn---Mr. Wells Took the Occasion TO
Declare his DOctrlnal Views, and to
Rebuke the Presumption OF Certain
young Men"---Other Matters OF His
tOrIcal Interest.
In a copy of the Brattleboro Reporter of
July 81, 1916, recently sent to this office,
there appears on the first page the address
delivered by Rev. VIM. Wells in "the new
meeting-hous in marlborough on the
It'll of that month. The Congregational
church, which now stands on Main street,
had then Just been erected on the common,
church services for the town having up to
that time been held at what is now West
Brattleboro The title, or introduction. to
the address, as printed in the old newspa-
per, reads;
"Some Observations, taken in part from
an address delivered in the new meeting
house in Brattleborough, July eth, 1916,
being the first Christian communion held in
that place"
Since this was evidently the first service
held in the church, it is of historical inter
est to know what that address was, and its
main points are therefore here reproduced,
the less important parts being given in
summary.
