doing she always seemed willing and
able to do little more. She will
be missed here as well as in her
home. She leaves husband and two
sisters, besides many other relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. Many
pupils will remember her and what
she did for them, for her years we're

find pupils who need her care in the
future life. o p Morse was the second

father died here. Four sisters, Mrs

child. Augusta and Glare, with an
elder brother, Luke, comprised the
family, ard the three sisters who
lived to womanhood all yielded to the
same fatal disease, consumption, that
later developed IN Mr. Morse. For
several years he has been feeble and
had rea lied that he could never he
any better, but has never seemed to
dread to go, except for those left be-
hind. His aged mother seemed his
first thought, as she is not able to
care for herself His life has heen
ve-y quiet, but be has 6lleu important
offices 10 town affairs for several
wears and was only released from them,
when his health would not permit
him to leave home. He leaves wife,
