OBITUARY..

Susie NJ, wife of Fred Chaplin, and daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. B. NJ. Eames of Pros
pect. died at the home of her parents, Au-
gust It'll, after a lingering illness of consump-
ton, aged 80 yrs, mos. For the first time
has. the Death Angel entered this home and
severed the link which united the family
chain, leaving a bereaved husband, little
son, sorrowing father and mother, sisters
and brother. All that medical skill and ten
der, watchful care could do was of no avail,
and after months of patient suffering, she
calmly obeyed the summons of the Master
to ''come up higher" Her life was one of
goodness and truth and love- and although
here there is vacant chair which can never
be filled, yet we have faith to believe she
still lives in that brighter, better world. The
funeral services were conducted by Rev.
Fl. W. Norton of Searsport, who spoke words
comfort and consolation. The floral offer
ings were very beautiful.
"Going home where Jesus waits her
In the heavenly land above,
Going home to be embodied
In the arms of his dear love-"
