The programme of the evening was
progressive euchre and there were 19

Mrs. Bosworth's Wednesday After
noon Reading.

About fifty ladies' listened with
great interest yesterday afternoon to a
most delightful talk by Mrs. Stucken-
berg on the occasion of Mrs. Taskar
Bosworth's first Wednesday in Lent.
The subject was "The Countess Wal
dersee," an account of whose noble life
was given in vivid and fascinating
manner. 1t was inspiring to learn of
the deep and practical interest in re-
ligious and philanthropic work on the
part of one SO intimately connected
with the royal family of Germany. A
very interesting feature was the read
ing of a letter from the Countess her
self received by Mrs. Stuckenberg only
that morning.

OBITUARY..
Feb. .27

Jne people OF MlddleOury were deeply
panied to learn on Thursday of last week
(Feb. 81 of the sudden death of Mrs.
Abby Beckwith, a native of the town,
one of its most public spirited citizens
and endeared to large circle of relatives
and friends.
Mrs. Beckwith was the daughter of
Rufus Wainwright, a prominent mer-
chant and manufacturer in Middlebury,
during the first half of the century. She
was born April, 1924. The same year
MIR. Wainwright purchased the fine resi-
dence built and occupied, till his death,
by Gamalel Painter. In this beautiful
and hospitable home Mrs. Beckwith
lived during nearly the whole of her life
of almost rs years.
On the 18th day of June, 1917, she was
married to Mr.. Julius A. Beckwith, a
talented and popular young lawyer of
the town and graduate of the college in
1910. As Mrs. Beckwith was an only
daughter, and her parents were reluctant
to have her leave them, she and her hus-
band consented to remain and constitute
a part of Mr.. Wainwright's family. Mr..
Beckwith's public career was short but
brilliant. He was twice member of the
state legislature, a man of fine scholar
ship and literary taste, a ready and per-
suasive advocate. His early death on
Dec. 3, 1857, after long and painful i'll
ness, occasloned most profound sorrow
through the community, and in the legal
fraternity of the state.
After this distressing bereavement,
cher father had also died In 1881 Mrs.
Beckwith continued to live with her aged
mother until the death of the latter in
1888. Subsequently her brother Gardi-
ner took the house, but it was still her
home until the time of her death.
The funeral services were held at 3
o'clock last Saturday afternoon; and,
Notwithstanding the severe cold, the
large house was filled with sorrowing
friends and neighbOrs. The service was
appropriate and impressive, and from
the home where her childhood feet had
trod, where her wedding troth had been
plighted, where she had closed the diving
eyes of father and mother and husband,
loving hands bore the grey-haired form
to its place of rest, beside him who had
passed on so long before.
Mrs Beckwith had the love and esteem
of all classes of the community, because
of her generous, unselfish life. She was
quiet and transformations In manner. but
those who knew her could not help feel
ing how little her thoughts were for self
and how constantly they were occupied
In promoting the welfare of others. She
was the lifelong friend of the College,
as her father had been before her. She
was ready to take the lead in all the
benevolent efforts of the church. She
had helping hand and encouraging
word for every enterprise to promote the
public welfare. She was one of the
founders of the Ladies' Library assocIa-
ton, and its president for over a quarter
of a century, Her loss will be deeply felt,
and her numerous friends and acquaint-
ances will cherish the memory of her
sweet christian character and of her help
full life.
