with her brother, Frank B. Webster. Five
years ago she was knocked down and he1
hip badly fractured by the careless riding
of bicyclist, which caused her to be a
prisoner in her own room during her re-
naming years. Although extravagantly
fond of outdoor recreation and an ardent
lover of pleasure, she bore her long con-
finement with Christian patience and for
titude. But everything possible that could
be done to relieve the monotony of the sit
uation was done, by the unremitting at
tentions of every member of the home
family, the faithful ministrations of her
intelligent and sunny nurse, the spiritual
help and comfort from the frequent visits
of her pastors, and the loving thoughtful
ness of many other relatives and friends.
Funeral services were held at the home of
her brother, % Greenwich Park, Boston,
Tuesday, May %, her pastor, the Rev. John
D. Pickles of the fremont M. E. church,
assisted by Bishop MaIlilieu and the Rev.
DIR. Kendig, officiating. The many beau
tiful floral offerings were but another ex-
preston of loving thoughtfulness on the
part of relatives and friends who had
frightened all the years of her imprison-
ment indoors by keeping her room con-
stantly decorated with rare and beautiful
plants and flowers. Of her generation,
two brothers and one sister survive her,
Mr.. David Webster of this town, and Mr..
Frank B., and Miss E. Jennie Webster of
