M RS. CUTLER ~.

The funeral of Mrs Freelove II,
Cutler was held at the residence of
her daughter, Mrs. Hattie Hall, on
March 9TH, the Rev. J. e. Wright be-
ing the officiating clergyman. She
was the last survivor OF Stephen
Wheeler's family of eleven children,
was born in Gloucester, II. l., May
3. 1872 and was ninety-one years
and ten months old on the day of her
death, March Sd. In 1888 she married
Timothy B. Cutler, who deceased in
1875 OF their seven children, three
survive, Mary Jane, Hattie and AL
bert; and her old age was made COM
Portable by the care of her two
dauR hters, the son also being near
at hand to assist in time of need.
There are seven grandchildren and
nine great grandchildren.
She experienced in her youth the
hardships of pioneer life. the first few
years after her marriage having been
spent in log house; and her charao-
ter developed under such severe dis
cipline as calls forth the more robust
virtues, industry, frugality, energy,
rugged honesty, simplicity of tastes,
temperance, and frank plain speech.
Her mental and physical powers were
wonderfully preserved, and her inter
est in people and events was keen,
till the stroke of paralysis came
which, after eleven days. closed her
life.
Mrs, Freelove Cutler, Mrs. Philura
Templeton, and Mrs. Lorinda Bowen
All three bound together for more
than half century by many social
ties; all three sharing in the unusual
experience of more than ninety years
of life here; all three passing away
within few days of each other; and
all three meeting, as it were, at last,
after years of separation, in the fsmil-
lar little God s-acre"-the Cutler
Cemetery And may we not also pic
ture in mind for them a higher and
happier meeting?

MRS. EMILY LUCT1t
TIA YEB.

Died at New Bedford Mass, Sun
day, March 6, Mrs. Emily Lucia
Thayer, tidings that bring sadness to
the hearts of her circle of friends in
this city, her girlhood home.
Some four weeks ago Mrs Thayer
had been Ill with the grip. Partial
recovery was followed by the develop
ment Of an abscess in the ear. She
suffered intensely. A specialist was
called and such treatment had as the
case seemed to require, but relief did
not follow. On Sunday, February 2S,
in private hospital in New Bedford,
she united to difficult operation.
The beneficial results expected were
not realized. Another, and more
serious and delicate trial of surgery,
became imperative, and General Lu-
cia, Mrs. Thayer's father, was sum-
moned from this city on Thursday of
last week. The surgeon skill was
unavailing The hope there is in life
buoyed up the hearts of those about
the sufferer till Sunday evening, when
her brave battle for existence was
lost
Emily Wheelock Lucia was born at
Vergennes. VT, July 4, 1877, the
daughter of Joel Hayward and Eliza
beth Reed Lucia-the father promi-
nent attorney OF Vergennes the
mother the daughter of Hon. and Mrs.
Charles Reed of Montpelier. Mrs.
Lucia dy wing in 1880, the family came
to live in Montpelier After course
of preparatory study at Newton, and
at Dean Academy, franklin, Mass :,
Miss Lucia entered the University OF
Vermont at Burlington graduating In
1899. In September, 1900, occurred
her marriage to DR.. William Hewins
Thayer of Fairhaven, Mass There
she had lived to the time of her re-
cent illness.
Mrs. Thayer's remains will be
brought to Montpelier for interment
in Green Mount Cemetery. Their ar
rival is expected on Wednesday even
ing. and brief funeral services will be
held at the cemetery on Thursday
morning.
Mrs Thayer was greatly esteemed,
and her friendship was highly priced
among those with whom she was on
terms of intimate acquaintanceshlp.
She was one whose quality stood the
test of close personal association. She
had loveable nature, and that which
renders such nature especially inter
esting, a winning personality, and
bright mental gifts which shed theiI
light over her relations with her cho
sen associates. She has passed away
| in the May morn of life. The sad
ness of the event is illumined by gra
cious memories, and sorrow is ten
pered by grateful recollections OF tn
young life, untimely ended-ss NOR
tails are wont to regard the passing O
promising youth.
