A few words in eulogy of the late
Miss Emily Danforth, whose death
occurred on Wednesday evening of
last week, will be the little that we
can do to honor well spent, unset
fish life. Miss Danforth was one of a
family of eleven children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Israel Danforth and was born in
February, 1921, she was the youngest
child that lived to grow up. Her
whole life was spent in town. She
received her education at the noted
female academy here and she had but
one home, under the same roof that
sheltered her as child her funeral
services were conducted. The land
was purchased by her father in 1904
and the house erected, where he for
many years conducted it as tavern.
He died in 1855 but his wife survived
him for number of years. After the
death of the father and mother the
unmarried brothers and sisters con-
tinued to live happily under the old
roof until disease gradually carried
them away one by one until only Miss
Emily remained. During her last
days she has had the company and
care of her neice and her husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. David Wood. The
pages of Miss Emily's life were filled
with good deeds, having an income of
rather more than she needed for her
