/ George H. Blake, she was very low in
private hospital from the effects Of the
surgeons knife. Her suffering of late has
been most severe, but has been borne with
Christian fortitude ''as one seeing the in
visible.'' Everything that wealth and love
could do have been done for her to allie
viate her suffering and restore her to health,
but in vain. Death came as a welcome
messenger to her, relieving her from such
paroxysms of pain as the bravest might
quail before. She was sincere Christian,
a member of the Methodist church at Bar
ton. She viii be missed by large circle
of friends and neigh bors, and most of all
by her husband, H. F. Pillsbury, and her
son, Fred II. Pillsbury, whose loss is ir-
reparable. Among her other near friends
who mourn her loss is her sister, Mrs. A.
! @. Jewell, who has been constantly with
| her during her last illness, her brother,
Rev. a. B. Blake of Highgate, and her
uncle, j. NJ. Pillsbury, who resides in the
| family. The funeral services were held at
her late home yesterday afternoon, Rev.
w. E. Douglass officiating. A large num-
! Der of neighbors and friends were present
thereby showing the high esteem in which
the deceased was held in the community.
The floral display was large and beautiful
| and exceedingly appropriate, as the de-
! ceased was passlOnately fond of flowers.
The remains were taken to Sutton for burial.
A large number OF people from that town
were at the cemetery and manifested their
love for the departed by decorating the
grave with flowers and mingling their
tears with the deeply afflicted family.
Mr. Pills hurry and family wish To
their sincere gratitude to all the people
who have tried to aid, cheer and comfort
them through the long and painful illness
Of their loved one. During the summer,
flowers were sent from St. Johnsbury,
Lyndon and Barton. They were a great
comfort to the accomplishing sufferer, and
most highly appreciated by all members of
the family. May He, whose promise is to
comfort all that mourn, sustain the sor-
rowing ones in this hour of deep affection.
