| W1NTERPoRT. Mrs. Nancy Chase Blais-
| dell died at her home in Brooklyn, N. Y,
| Jan 18th after an illness of only few days.
| She was the daughter of the Rev. Mark L..
| Chase, was born in frankie t, now Winter
| port, in the year 1921, and was married in
| 1847 to E. F. Blaisdell who, with their Gig hit
| Sous, survives her. One daughter died in
infancy. Mrs. Blaisdell was in many re-
| spects a remarkable woman. She was pos
ssssed of great intelligence and notwithstand.
ing the multitude of cares attendant on
bringing up so large family she kept abreast
of the times on all the great public questions
of the day. She was specially interested in
| education and in temperance and other re-
forms. Much of her early married life was
| devoted to hard labor and many privations !;
| but in her later years she was amply reward
ed by the loving care of those for whom she
| had toiled. She lived to see all of he- sons
become useful and prosperous citizens. All
of them, and quite number of her % grand
children, were with her when she passed
away. Ever since they moved to New York
to be with their children, Mr.. and Mrs.
Blaisdell have spent their summers in the
old home to which they were SO fondly at
tached, and she will be greatly missed by
the large circle of friends who always looked
| forward with pleasure to her coming. The
white ribboners will long remember her
hopeful and inspiring words to them last
summer. The Epworth League was enter
tanned by Rev. D. 81. Piper at the parsonage

Hanscom is quite ill. i. q. r. Rowe is at home

| Scott is at home from Portland for short
| VISIT. The fishermen are making very good
| catches just now... A fire broke out in the
woodshed of the lower village schoolhouse
| Sunday morning about o'clock. The shed
| and quite large quantity of wood was con-
| sumed, but the hose companies were
promptly on the spot and prevented the fire
from destroying the schoolhouse and Mrs
Cuddy's buildings as but for them it prob
ably would have done. 1t is thought by
some that some one may have been in the
shed helping themsel YES to wood during the
night.
