 One of the saddest deaths of the year is that of Mrs. Charles A. Brad way, which occurred Tuesday May 31, after an illness of seven weeks. Mrs. Bradway was but 30 years of age and her loss is keenly felt by her family and friends. The deceased was a woman of sterling character and much respected. She came here some schools, and was quite successful in her work. She was united in mar riage to MT. Bradway about seven years ago. Besides her husband and infant son, she leaves her father and mother, three sisters and a brother, who reside in Somerville. The sisters are Misses Annie, Allison and Lena, and the brother George Loggie. The funeral was held from her late home Thursday afternoon. Rev. A. B. Clifford of the Methodist church offic- lated, assisted by Rev. N M. Pratt of the Congregational church. The mu- sic was by c. F. Orcutt and Mrs. J. O. Parsons. The service was simple and impressive. A poem by the late Dr. Rand was read and proved very fitting for the occasion. A profusion of beautiful floral offerings showed the sympathy felt. The bearers were Dr. Soule, W. H. Peaes, George Knowlton, George Loggie, F. P Brad way. The burial was in No. 1 cem- etery. Universal sympathy for the surviving members of the family exists locally.
 Suit has been brought in the supe- rior court by the First Universalist parish of Monson against Henry A. King of Springfield, executor under the will of Charles W. King, late of Monson, the plaintiff seeking to se- cure possession of fund of $1727. .92, which it claims is due it under the will of the defendants testator. The plaintiffs declaration sets out the particulars of it's contention, to which no anwser has as yet been filed. The late Charles w. King of Monson died Dec. 27, 1901, and Henry A. King of Springfield was appointed executor of the will by Judge Charles l.. Long of the probate court. By the provisions of the instrument of which he was ap- pointed executor, MT. King was to pay all debts of the estate, all burial ex- penses and to provide for the erection of suitable monument. With this done, the rest and residue of the es- tate went to Emeilne M. King of Monson during her life, which ended May 19, 1902. After her death, so the plaintiff claims, the remainder of the estate was to go to the First Uni versalist parish of Monson, to be used as permanent fund, of which the interest only was available for the uses of the church. This remainder, it is alleged, amounts to the sum for the recovery of which suit is brought, S1729.92 The plaintiff claims the AoAoAuaA0, dACuouSH AI04uoAtAy uoh ed so to do, has refused and does still refuse to deliver up the fund. Gard | ner & Gardner, attorneys, bring the suit for the plaintiff.
