two to dozen deer.

For almost seventy years Mrs. Mcneil,
whose funeral was held in Glover last
week, had resided near this village. Born
in DanviIIe, CIarissa Greene married Isaac
Mcneil December 3, 1880, and they at once
came to Barton and made their home on
the beautiful farm which has since been in
the possession of the family until recently.
In course of time Mr.. Mcneil, who was
a very prosperous farmer and highly
respected citizen, built two new dwelling
houses. He died about twenty years ago,
respected by all who knew him. Six
children were born to the family, but only
one, Mrs. William Cheney, survive the
mother. Mr.. and Mrs. Mcneil were
mem bers of the NJ. e. church and constant
attendants at the services. The care of
her large family, one member of which
was an invalid and needed constant at
tention, the illness and death of her
husband and many members of her
family, tried her strength, but all was
borne with the patient, loving spirit of
the true mother and wife, and although
frail, delicate person, she performed much
of the household labor with her own
hands. AS this beautiful life drew to
close it seemed a perfect example of the
life of the true Christian. A kind and
loving wife and mother, helpful friend
and neighbor, she was one of whom was
said, ssHer price is far above rubies; she
openeth her mouth with wisdom and in
her tongue is the law of kindness" Her
age was SO years, months, IS days.
