On Sunday morning last Mrs. Albert
Bruce died at the home OF her daughter,
Mrs. Thomas ID. Poland, aged seventy.nine
years. For some months past she had been
growing feebler, but was able to be mp till
last Friday morning when she was taken
materially worse. She felt then that death
was nigh. Mrs. Bruce was born in Lowell,
this State. Upwards Of fifty years ago her
husband moved his family here that he
might work for the late Darius Pride on his
carding machine. Later he worked In the
boot and shoe shops OF Oliver 8. and Enos
#. Walker, and also carried on the business
for himself at one time. Six children were
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Bruce, five of whom
are living. For the past fifteen years MIS-
Bruce had been blind, having suffered from
very sad condition of the eyes, that she
thought was caused by the healing Of
sore elsewhere on her body. Her home OF
late years had been with her daughter, Mrs.
T. d. Poland, and among her last words
were thanks for the kind care she had had
in this home. She had long been member
of the Methodist church here, the pastor OF
which Rev. #. e. Currier officisted at her
funeral at her late home, Tuesday alter
noon. After 30 much suffering death must
have come as sweet release.
