Never in the history Of Townsend hal
such universal sorrow fallen upon oul
community as that which followed ths
announcement that Mrs. d. B. Maloney
had breathed her last 10 Jefferson Hos
ditaI. Philadelphia, Monday morning,
September 23d, for everyone realized that
the best loved Of all our people had
passed away.
Anna Laslomus Maloney, daughter Of
Levi and Joanna Lattomus, was born in
Townsend, Jnne S0tll, 1856. Although
five sons grew to manhood, and are yei
living, she was the only daughter to live
beyond the years Of childhood, and was
almost idolized by the family, but none
ever proved herself more worthy Of the
love bestowed upon her.
Inheriting the active and genial dis
position Of her father, along with the
tender loving heart Of her mother, she
was the life and light Of her home. As
she grew older tile circle OF her ministra-
tions widened embracing the whole COM
munity.
Few are as well fitted by nature as she
for usefulness. In early life she united
with the church aud like her Master
'she went about doing good" /" Always
unselfish, the chief joy Of her life was
to make Others happy. Was there sick
ness or sorrow in a home, it was Anna
Lattomus who brought cheer and comfort.
Was there a dear one to be laid away.
it was her deft fingers that adorned the
body for its last resting place. OF her
the people OF Townsend can-say Surely
she hath borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows."
In 1876 she was united in marriage
with Daniel B. Maloney by her uncle
Bishop Levi Scott OF this marriage two
children we're born, Levi L., assistant
treasurer Of Security Trust and Safe De-
posit Co., OF Wilmington, and EthelwynJ.
As her life advanced she was subject to
much suffering from various diseases, but
through it all she maintained her cheer
ful manner and her thoughtfulness for
the comfort of others. When she felt
that lier life was nearing its close, her
only regret seeintd to be that she could
no longer care for her aged mother (who
survives her and other loved ones. Her
Christian faitl, was unwavering, and che
felt that she was only leaving loved ones
here to jpin other loved ones that had
gone before.
In her the Church and Sabbath School
lose an ever jealous worker, while her
family and friends mourn for her with
sorrow lightened by the expectation of
seeing her again where death can never
part.
Funeral services, in charge Of her pas
tor, Rev. +. G. MacSorley, assisted by
Revs. Hutchins, Piettyman and Chandler
were held at her home. Wednesday at

laid to rest III Tow nsend Cemetery beside
her father,
"Alas for him who never sees
Tile stars shine through his cyprus trees,
Who hopeless lays his dead away,
Nor looks to see the breaking day
Across the mnufLful marbles play,
Who hath not learned, in honr OF faith,
The truth to fash and sense unknown,
That Life is ever lord of Death
And Lore can never lose its own"
