Death of Mrs. Morrill,.
The entire community was saddened
Friday morning when it was learned
that Ida NJ. Gage, wife of Corliss w.
Morrill,, had passed away. She had been
very i'll with typhoid fever for three
weeks, and although it was known she
was dangerously i'll, some hope was
entertained for her recovery to the very
last. Ida NJ. Gage was the oldest
daughter of Daniel c. and Luella Gage.
She was born in the north part of this
town in March, 1872, and was educated
in the public schools of this town and
Lyndon Institute. In December, 1889,
she married Corliss w. Morrill,. Two
sons have been born to them, Lyman,
aged II, and Leslie, aged seven years.
She was very pleasant to meet and had
host of friends. She had been very
prominent in the Grange since it's organi-
zation nearly year ago, and will be
greatly missed there and in the entire
community, but most of all by the hus-
band and two small boys. She leaves
beside her husband and children, father
and mother, and one sister, Mabel, who
married Fred Wark, and resides in
South Pasadena, with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. D. c, Gage; also a brother,
George Gage of Washington. 1t seemed
particularly sad that none of her family
could be with her during her last sick
ness. Funeral services were held from
her late home Sunday at p. M, Rev.
G. H. Cummings, officiating, assisted by
Rev. B. P. Parker. The male quartette
of Grace Methodist church of St. Johns
bury, rendered several selections. The
interment was in the Pope cemetery.
The entire family have the heartfelt
sympathy of the community at large in
this their sad bereavement. Among
those from out of town to attend the
