the civil war, occupies a projection OF
the island, but it is Of course practi-

May Hutchinson Falls to the Reaper.

May Bertha Hutchinson, only child
of Alden J. Hutchinson and Susie j..
Hutchinson. was horn at Lincoln,
Maine, April 14th, 1882.
She came to Shelton, with her
mother, at the age of Z, to join her
father who came to the coast for his
health. After the death of Mr..
Hutchinson they returned to Lincoln
and lived two years. Since then they
have resided in Shelton, where Mrs.
Hutchinson has since been married to
George H. Shorter.
May was always a very delicate
child, and last fall contra cted the
whooping cough, and has been gradu-
ally fading ever since. Father, mother
and friends have done everything pos
sible to make the passage from this
world to the next as easy and comfort
able as possible.
She was young, life seemed very
beautiful to her and she did not wish
to die, but was a great sufferer and
when she realized that death only
meant passing to a bright and beaut1-
tul Heaven, where she would be free
from pain and sorrow and always
with her father, she became resigned.
She passed away very quietly and
peacefully at noon Monday, Aug. 18th,
1898. Her sickness was made easier
by the love and untiring evotion of
her step-father, George Shorter
Behind are left mother, dearly loved
step-father. an aunt, Mrs. Ed. Nc
Reavy, and cousins, Elsie, Guy and
Midge Hutchinson, in Shelton, besides
aunts, uncles and cousins in Maine,
and friends and schoo1mates to mourn
her loss.
May was dutiful daug liter and a
kind, loving friend to all that she
knew. Her soul was pure and white
and she has gone to rest and happiness
in Heaven.
Surely, HE giveth his beloved

full flowers we desire to offer our sim
