held the office of president of the Oxford
County Agricultural Society four years
and through his energetic measures the
society was greatly benefited. In poll

from his district in 1882, and again IN

To the Memory Of Mrs. Sylvia Bis.
bee Tibbetts.

/
bee Tibbetts.
She was the daughter of Sewell and
Mile Whitman Bisbee, and was born in
North Woodstock April IA, 1890. She
was the oldest of q family Of five chill.
dren. one son and four daughters, and
the last one to be called away by death.
Three of the children, the son and two
daughters, died of consumption after ar
irving at maturity and having families
of their own.
Sewell Bisbee spent the most of his
life in this town, and for several years
owned mill in what Is now Greenwood
Centre, manufacturing both long and
short lumber, and did thriving bust
ness.
Sylvia Bisbee was twice married; her
fret husband was Frank Bennett, who
settled in town by building home OF
his own near the mill above mentioned,
| in which he worked the most of the time
with his father.inlaw.
While living there two children were
born to them, first a daughter, Anna,
now the wife of A. s. Brooks; and about
four years later a son, who took his IA.
theirs name. AS time passed on Mr..
Benefits health became impaired, and
being no longer able to perform hard
labor he sod his place and moved to
T.ocke's Mills where he died OF the
dropsy few years later.
After living a widow several years,
Mrs. Bennett married John Tibbetts of
Norridgewock, who was widower and
had brought up family of children.
There they settled on farm, and in due
time girl baby came to enliven their
home, to whom they gave the name OF
Ella.
After living in that town and enjoy
ing rural life for quite a number OF
years, until the infirmities, incident to
old age, admonished them that they
could carry on the farm no longer, they
sold out and came back into Greenwood,
where they lived alternately with their
three children until recently, when they
made 1t their home with their youngest
daughter, now Mrs. Lamonte Cole of
Locke's Mills. There, as before, every
thing was furnished to render them COM
Portable and happy in old age, up to the
second day of July, when the devoted
wife and mother was called away by
death. And there the aged and twice
bereaved husband and father still finds a
welcome home.
Sylvia Tibbetts was converted some
time during middle life, joined the Free
Baptist church, together with her second
husband, where they ever after enjoyed
Christian home. But although she
has departed from us and passed over
the river to that better land, her memory
is still sweet, and especially 80 to her
children, and will be to the end of life.
We can easily imagine that they often
speak or think of her as in the following
lines:
Mother has left our circle here. and vacant is
her chair;
Silent and paliid are those lips, so fervent once
In prayer;
But though her death brings falling tears, and
often throbs Of pain,
IT'S comforting to know our loss Is her eternal
gain.
