Death of Mrs. Edward c. rhayer of keene

Death of Mrs. Edward c. Thayer Of keene
A woman whose life has been of ex-
ceptional usefulness passed away in the
death at Keene May % of Mrs. Julia Bea-
trce Thayer She was born in Ashuelot
70 years ago, the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. David Ball, and made her home in
that village until July, 1878. when she
moved to Keene upon her marriage to Ed
ward C. Thayer. Mrs. Thayer attended
the public schools in Ashuelot and COM
pleted her education in semnaries in West
Brattleboro, Rutland. and in Springfield,
Mass. When young she took up the work
which she continued through life, that of
doing good to others whether in affection
or adversely. For years she was known
in Ashuelot as the kind, generous and low
able woman who took upon herself the
task of bringing light and sunshine to
all. She taught a Sunday school for years
and always filled the largest room in the
village to its full capacity.
Only recently Mrs. Thayer had rebuilt
and remodeled the house that came to her
from her grandmother into a beautiful liz
brary for her native village, stocking 1t
with books and providing every conven-
ienee and necessity. During her residence
in Keene Mrs. Thayer did much for the
support of public institutions. The in
valids' home has a $4,000 memorial fund
to maintain a room, which Mrs. Thayer
fitted up herself. The Thayer library
given to the city by her husband, has re-
ceived much from her, including her share
of the Thayer-Chapin fund Of $4,000. She
placed large drinking fountain at the
ladies' park and always gave literally to
the humane and other charitable societies.
In Piqua, o., where her brother, DeLos
C. Ball, was in business and lived for a
long time, she has just been building to
his memory a hospital that is nearly COM
pleted and will cost upward of $25, 900.
Mrs. Thayer leaves no relatives nearer
than cousins.
