In MEMoR1AM Mrs. Ruby A. Barney
passed quietly from this to the ''Other
Room" Of life on March 20, 1907, at the age
of eighty years and nine months. She was
born in Searsport, the daughter of William,
Jr., and Miriam Merrithew. She was mar
ried June 80, 1916, to Charles Barney. Four
children were born to them, all of whom are
living. Her husband passed on before her,
June 10, 1902. Always of frail physique,
but possessed of strong vitality, she bore
with brave spirit the cares of life. When
others were downcast and discouraged she
cheered and helped them by refusing to
look at the darker side and persistenty
looking ahead for brighter outcome of af-
fairs. Those of us whose privilege it was
to minister to her i'll her last days here will
always have the comforting thought that
she was made happier by our presence and
care For the others, whose cares kept
them in their own homes, it has perhaps
been harder: although they also have the
comfort of knowing that they have done
their share in other ways and other days, to
make easier the years for her. Although
the home is lonely without her we feel that
ssshe has but taken her lamp and gone to
bed. We stay little longer, as one fingers
to cover the embers that still burn" We
shall always like to remember her. as she
lay in the earns of the angel of DEATH"
looking, to US to whom she was dear, so fair
and peaceful and young; as though many
years had dropped from her.-COm.

a beautiful amethyst brooch. a gift of
the groom. She wore tulle veil and car
