DEATH OF MRS. HOLLAND.
Mrs. Elnora Mitchell, widow of the late
Leonard b. Holland, died at her residence on
Westminster street Thursday afternoon, May
9th, in the 63rd year of her age. For some
time past Mrs. Holland has been in poor
health, but only within a few weeks was the
serious nature of the disease anticipated, and
during the last ten days she failed very rap
idly.
Mrs. Holland was the daughter of William
and Rebecca Martin Mitchell, and was born
in town August 8, 1885, the Youngest in
family of ten children, only three of whom
are now living, Mrs. r. L. Ball of Newton
Centre, Mass, Mrs. George Huntington of
New York City, and Mrs. George Allen of
South Boston.
Her marriage to Mr.. Holland took place in
August, 1857. Mrs. Holland was a most
estimable woman, and possessed those excel
lent qualities of mind and character that
ensured for her not only the sincere affec-
ton of many personal friends but universal
respect. She was closely devoted to the
interests of her family, whose comfort and
welfare were her especial regard, and to
whom her death must bring so great a sense
of loss. great deal of sympathy for this
bereavement is expressed by all. Beside the
three sisters mentioned, she leaves nine chill
dren: Miss Mary M, of Woodstock, VT,
Mrs. L. E. Mason and Mrs. A. A. Gile of
Keene, Henry B., of Lowell, Mass, James
L., of Boston, and Nat W., with Misses
Emma, Abbie and Lena of this town. Fu-
neral services will be held at her late home
on Sunday afternoon at l 30 O'Clock. The
burial will be in the family lot in Walpole
cemetery.
