Sargent.
The community of St. Johnsbury Cen
ter has met with a great loss in the sud-
den death Of Miss Cora Sargent. Mon
day morning, March 4, she awoke suf-
fering severe pain which her physicians
could not relieve and Thursday morning
it was decided there was no chance for
recovery without surgical operation,
which proved her case beyond help and
she died at 1 o'clock Thursday of peri
tonitis. Miss Sargent was born in this
town about 80 years ago, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Carlos Sargent and this
has always been her home. She taught
here and at Lyndon for the past Is
years, in the primary departments where
she has done faithful and conscientious
work. In her church relations she has
been faithful and efficient, as superintend-
ent of the Sunday school, member of the
choir and officer and helper in the young
peoples societies both here and at Lyn-
don. She has left a place that will be
hard to fill. She leaves her mother with
whom she lived, and a sister, Mrs.
George Wright, OF St. Johnsbury. Since
the death of her father she has been the
devoted companion and counsellor of her
mother to whom the sudden loss will be
most keenly felt. To her and to the sis
ter tbs sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended.
The funeral was held at the church
Saturday afternoon, Revs. l. P. Chase,
