the only daughter and youngest child of Asa
z. and Alice Greer Cobb of Searsmont

AS the people of Augusta We're, Sunday
morning, taking their way TO their respective
churches, the message was passed from one
to another that the life about which has CEN
tered so much interest for the past six weeks
had gone ont, and that after period of ex-
treme prostration and suffering, Mrs. f. II.
Beale had passed
beyond the parting and the meeting,
Beyond the farewell and the greeting,
Beyond the pulses fever beating,"
into the unspeakable happiness which is
theirs who are in the immediate presence of
the King.
Seldom has there been a case which has
called out such universal interest and SYM
pathy, not only because the sick one was so
well-beioved by large circle of friends, but
because OF the peculiarly aggravated nature
of her illness.
Mrs Beale was born in Machias, Me, Feb
ruary l, 1916, and came to Augusta q years
ago. She was a faithful member of the
Methodist Episcopal church and identified
with the various religious and philanthropic
enterprises OF the church and of the city.
Mrs. Beale was for many years actively
connected with the Howard Benevolent Un-
ion and many destitute ones have felt the
influence of her pful acts and ready sym
pathy She was valuable member of the
Current Events Club and during the past
year member of the executive committee.
The Daughters of the American Revolution
also found in her loyal member.
While mentioning Mrs. Beale's work as
related to the activities of our city we have
not touched upon the sphere where her pres
ence was most felt, and where she will be
most missed. From the pleasant home on
Green street radiated the quiet and health
full influence which alone can spring from
the place where the charm of the true wo-
man is best known.
The sympathies of the entire community
go out to the husband and relatives in this
hour OF their great bereavement. H, in
