Death of Mrs. Alma Fisher Davis.

Again the community is in mourning
for one of its gifted daughters who en-
tered into rest on Sunday evening at her
pleasant home in New York city. Mrs.
Alma Davis SO. was the eldest daughter
of Octavius and Martha Fisher. and was
a native of this town, and until her mar
riage to DIR. Asa b. Davis of New York
october 2Sth, 1896. had always lived here.
with the exception of few years passed
at Vermont Academy, where she gradu-
ated with honor, afterwards teaching in
town. and later being superintendent of
schools Early in life Mrs. Davis united
with the Congregational church, and for
years she was prominent in all church
and parish work and gave freely and
willingly ever of her great musical tall
ent. Only last summer. during a stay of
several weeks at her former home. she
gladly assisted the choir, and added
thereby not a little to the pleasure of
those privileged to hear her fine voice.
Many will miss the influence of a life
strong in all things-devout, broad mind
ed. sympathetic and loyal. None who
witnessed her courage in the face of
death. her patient endurance of suffering
through these past sad months of dis
tressng Illness. her thoughtfullness for
others when she might have been par
doned for forgetfuness. and her firm
trust in Christ as her Saviour. but will
be better fitted to meet life and to face
death. Admired and honored by a wide
circle of acquaintance, beloved by all
who came within the nearer limits of
friendship, she was held by a yet closer
and dearer tie to her own family and
kinsfolk. Mrs. Davis is survived by
husband, young daughter and infant
son. mother and father and sister. The
last service was held at the church on
Wednesday afternoon, Revs. G.. II. De-
Bevoise and George F. Chaplin of Sax
tons River officiating. Miss Florence
Goodhue sang, zone Sweetly Solemn
Thought" and Edward Gorham of Bos-
ton also sang The great profuson of
lovely floral tributes at the last earthly
rites but testified anew to the loving re-
membrance of numerous friends. The
burial was in the family lot.
