By the death of Mrs. Parker Spofford,
Friday Bucksport has lost one of its de-
Servedly esteemed ladies. BleSt alike with
the disposition and the means to do good
and communicate, she withheld neither
heart nor hand, but dispensed the consola-
tl0D of love to many, ana temporal aid to
those who needed it. For some 30 years
she has been known in the village life as a
glad helper in every good word and work.
Kindly of presence, of loving heart and
cheerful temper, she will long be remem-
bered by many there and elsewhere for
what she was 10 less than for what she did.
Her home has always been the scene of re-
| fined and generous hospitality. The weary,
the worn and the sad have had reason to
bless her. She sowed the seeds of kindness
bountifully and reaped the harvest of love.
! She will be sorroWfully missed in the ac-
tivities of the Elm St. parish and church, of
which she was member. No happier
home in the community has ever been en-
tered by death, and the memory of the one
taken will he as precious as fellowship with
her was sweet. \ devoted wife, true
neighbor. woman of strong and lasting
friendships, and an hOnored fellow Chris
