and four months. The funeral was
held at the residence of the late Cal

White was the daughter of the late
Albigence and Emily Lyman Aims
worth, of Northfield, and grand
daughter of the late Rev. Elijah Ly-
man of Brookfeld. Her earlier and
much Of her married life till the death
Of her husband, was lived in Mortified.
For some years past she has been a
resident of Melrose, Mass. For many
years she had been member of the
congregational church in Mortified,
and later transferred her membership
to the Congregational church here, a
relation maintained till her death. A
woman of bright intellect, much good
common sense, and mother wit, with
an early opportunity for eduaction,
and means throughout her later life,
for self improvement, all this COM
bined with her fine character, made
her woman that it was good to know,

her family friends. She leaves an only
daughter. More than one will now
say to her,
Parted, but not in tears,
Earth's dream, and then the sky,
And then through all the years,
Together, you and L!
