WEST HALIFAX.
Mrs. Wells rhurher.

A lovely Christian life ended in the
death Of Nancy, wife of Wells Thurber,
who passed away March %. She was
born in West Halifax Dec. TO- 1882, and
was married to Mr. Thurber April H. 1861.
She had always lived in this town, with
the exception of about 10 months several
years ago, which time was spent in Shell
burne Falls
large number OF relatives and friends
gathered at her home on Monday to pay
their last tribute of esteem and express
sympathy for her bereaved husband and
daughters Rev. ]. e. Berry spoke COM
forting words based on Revelations 14:13,
BLESSED are the dead who die in the
Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow them
The assurance that this blessedness is
hers comes not only from the words of
trust in God and faith in His goodness
spoken during her last illness, but also
from the life of loving service which she
had lived Mr.. Berry spoke briefly of her
work as a teacher many years in the Sun
day school and her work for the material
benefit of the church. Through her
solicitations funds were raised to get an
organ, and slate and make other repairs
on the church. The floral tributes were
many and beautiful. Mrs. Thurber' $
four nephews were bearers and the burial
was in the village cemetery Among the
out-of-town relatives present at the
funeral were her sister, Mrs Olive Hill
man and her son, Frank Hillman, of
Ashfleld Mass, and Miss Annie Swan and
her brother Herbert Swan, of Shelburne
Falls, Mass. The near relatives left to
mourn her loss are besides her husband,
two daughters, Mrs. Alice Spaulding and
Miss Helen Thurber of Brattleboro; a
brother, Harvey Swan of Waltham. Mass.
and three sisters, Mrs Olive Hillman
and Mrs. Melvina Chaplin of Ashfield,
Mass, and Mrs. Emma House of Phila-
delphia, who esteemed her as a mother
| as she gave them a mothers love and
| care after the death of their parents.
| Although Mrs. Thurber lived beyond the
allotted three score and ten years, she
| kept alive in her heart the spirit of youth,
which endeared her to young people, and
especially to the young women who were
members of the Sunday school class
when she was the teacher, to many of
whom the news of her death will come
with sense of personal loss. She was
not considered seriously i'll until four days
before her death, when pneumonia set in
and her daughters were called, who
tenderly cared for her the last few days
