Mrs. Grace A. Sanderson, AS, wife
of Rev. George L. Sanderson, pastor of
the COral-street church in Worcester,
Mass, died March at her home in
that city from an affection of the
heart. Mrs. Sanderson was a naive
of BrattlebOrO, daughter of Jesse and
Susan Peabody. She was educated
at the Clinton High school and Wes-
leyan academy. Mr.. and Mrs. San
derson celebrated their 25th wedding
anniversary last June. Besides her
husband she leaves a son and daugh-
ter. The Worcester Telegram said:
Mrs. Sanderson during her four years
connection with Coral-street church
has been a valuable helper to her hus-
band in his pastoral work. She took
special interest in the work among
young women of the church, and won
many to its congregation and Sunday
school by her pleasing personality.
Her work was no less hard and con-
scientious than that of her husband,
and she was untiring in her efforts
for the upbuilding of the church.
She was a teacher of a bible class
in the Sunday school, and in the Ep-
worth league, and an active worker
in the ladies aid society of the church.
Sewall Morse will go about April
18th to Pittsburg, Pa, to establish a
shoe department in the big depart
ment store of the c. H. Rowe COM
pany. Mr.. Morse will own the shoe
business, but it will be conducted as
one of the parts of the big general
store, which is run on the plan of the
Wanamaker stores in New York and
Philadelphia. Pittsburg and Ale
ghany have together a total popula-
tion of over 100000, both cities nave
doubled in size within the past 20
years, and there is a large tributary
territory. The Rowe company is one
of high standing with large business.
Mr.. Morse's departure will be deeply
regretted by the business men and
many warm personal friends in Brat
tlehoro. The firm of Morse & Simp-
son has carried on a business in Brat
tleboro the past ten years. Mr..
Simpson, now manager of the shoe de-
partment of the Rogers, Peet & co.
stores in New York, left here four
years ago, and Mr.. Morse has conduct
ed the business alone under the firm
name since then. Three years ago
he adopted the cash basis. The ousi-
ness has grown steadily in these three
years. Mr.. Morse has proved himself
progressive and systematic business
man, a skillful and persistent adver-
tiser, who develops and makes a sue
cess of original ideas, and he leaves
a wellestablished and profitable bust
ness here only because he tees
larger and more desirable possibilities
in the PittsbuTg field.
