| Mrs. Isabel (DrlnkWater) Brown, be-
loved wife of Capt. Frank Brown, died in
Lincolnville early Saturday morning, Aug.
18th, at the home of her father, Capt.
Wilder Drink water, where she was born
March 10, 1875. Mrs. Brown was beloved
by all who knew her, and one who thor
oughly enjoyed life, having most happy
disposition. The last four years of her life
were spent in Boston, where her genial
and pleasant manners won her host of
friends. She had kind heart, generous
disposition, and always had pleasant word
for all. She had been in poor health the
past few years, yet she and her friends had
hoped against hope until few months
ago, when the dread disease asserted itself
and life slowly ebbed away. During her
illness her sufferings at times were intense,
but she bore them with fortitude and COM
planned little. All that medical skill and
loving hearts and hands could do, was done
for her. She passed away as gently as one
would lie down to slumber, and although
her death was not unexpected, it caused
many heartache. A most happy young
life is ended, and her friends feel that the
world is better for her having lived in it.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon
and was largely attended by relatives and
friends. A profusion of beautiful flowers,
of which the deceased was very fond, al
most covered the casket. She is survived
by husband, father, four sisters, three
brothers and a most devoted mother-in-l law,
all OF whom sincerely mourn their loss.
