OBITUARY..
DEATH OF MRS. o. p. LEE.

Mrs. 0. +. Lee died at the Mary tletch-
er hospital March 18th after passing
through a successful operation on Satur'
dav. the 10th, and was doing as well as
could be expected until the morning OF
the 18th, when her daughters were sum-
moned to her bedside as she was sinking
rapidly, at noon her spirit passed over
the river.
She had continued to look after her
home duties to the last of her being there
and met her friends with the same hearty
greetings as ever and cheerful good byes
were said. She faced the future with
cheerful, humble trust, knowing in
Whom she had believed. Her busy life,
her cheerful hope should be an inspira-
ton to all who knew her. Mrs. Fannie
Blood Schrader was born in Mt. Carmel,
H., and first met Mr.. Otis p. Lee when
visiting her relatives in this vicinity,
they were married at her former home
in Illinois in 1873 and came to Middle
bury to live, September IS, 1889. They
united with the Congregational church
in Middlebury and were always found
walking in its ordinances.
Since Mr.. Lees death Mrs. Lee and
her daughter have stood at their post and
have shown what willing hands and true
hearts can accomplish as many of the
college students can testify. Mrs. Lee
was the mother of four children, two of
which survive her. Miss Louise of this
village and Mrs. Heber Cady of North
field, Vt. She has passed over the river
into the beautiful land of eternal youth
and eternal growth, a fitting place for
Gods children to dwell in.
The interment was in the Bridport
cemetery with her husband and two
sons.
"Then let our sorrows cease;
God has but recalled His own,
And let our hearts in peace
Now say, Thy win be done"

If there are those in the Government

who have been leaning toward the artistic.
they must confine their admiration Of

or calendars.
Even the pictures of. President Roosevelt
are not exempt from the attacks of the

Executive stayed ionesomeiy on the walls

acres of the tract within West Virginia

by King as part Of the great tract, and
IN the hearing before commissioner
Stuart attempted 90 prove by witnesses
that some years before the suit was in
stituted the four trees described as form
