others. She was a life long resident of
Thorndike until about two years ago, when
she went to the home of her Oldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. c. f. Gurney, in Waldo, who did

and comfort her declining years. The de-

HaSty and Charles II. Heath, who mourn
the loss of gentle, loving mother; also
two brothers, Joseph and William Thomp-

sutferings were great, but borne quietly and
patiently, and at the last she passed through
the Vale of Shadows triumphantly, for the
rod and staff of Gods sustaining grace

sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are
felt and feared no more. Her remains were
laid beside those of her husband in the
Centre Cemetery after funeral service at
the Centre church, Rev. David Brackett
