WINTERPORT.

WINTERPORT.
Mrs. Grace A. Newcomb entered into rest
Sunday morning, May 10Th, after all earthly
life of 80 years and months. Mrs. New
comb was converted in early life and lived
a consistent Christian life. Her character
though gentle was strong. She knew not
only whom she believed, but what she be-
lieved. Contact with her impressed you so
that you recognized you were in the pres
ence of a Christian. For many years she
had been confined to her home by old age
and feebleness. During these years she
was cared for most tenderly by devoted
daughter, Miss Olive Newcomb. She re-
tanned her faculties in an unusual degree,
and although suffering intensely the last
few days, was able at times to greet her
friends, even singing hymn she loved
we'll. She was conscious until within day
of her death. The funeral services were
conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. A. Luce,
at her late residence May 21st at a. m.
The interment was in the old home ceme-
terry at Newburgh. The profusion of choice
flowers testified to the place she held in the
hearts of her friends. She leaves to mourn
their loss one daughter, Miss Olive NJ. New
comb three sisters, Mrs. E. Mann and Mrs.
E. L. Washburn of Bangor and Mrs. Ellen
Sewell of Newburgh; two brothers, James
Flynn Of Newburgh and Joel Flynn of
California; son-in-law, Mr.. Henry Fol-
som Of Wilmington, DEL, and one grand
son, Frank Folsom of New Jersey, and a
large circle of nieces and nephews. James

EXPERIENCE OF A BLIND TEACHER
Young Lady Teacher Who Lost
Her Sight Proves Her Useful
ness to the World
To The Newark Journal

To The Newark Journal
If you will kindly allow me
space in your paper, and the
readers of The Journal will par
don the intrusion of this little
sketch, | shall take pleasure in
plac Jig before the eyes of the
public, an account Of the work in
which | was engaged the past
year. Five years ago last March,
] closed my last term Of public
school at old New Hope, about
three miles northwest of Sulphur
Rock, and just two weeks from
that time, | could not see to read
one word.
Teaching was the delight of my
life, and to realize that | must
give up that work, forever, as |
thought, was indeed hard to do.
The greatest desire of my life was,
and is yet, to live a useful life and
not one of idleness.
1t is with gratitude that | say
that, through courage, bravery
and determination, | am enabled
to resume my duties as teacher
once more, although under quite
different circumstances. One year
ago about this time, | received a
letter from Mrs. Laura A. Lowrey,
a blind lady, who was superinten-
dent of the school for the blind
and the deaf, of the Indian Terri
tory, asking me to take charge of
the literary work, as teacher, for
the blind. [ was perfectly de-
lighted to know that | had an OPP
portunity to do something, so |
very gladly accepted her offer
On the fifth of last October, |
started for for Fort Gibson, |. T.,
where the school is located. We
occupied one of the old fort build
ings situated on what is we'll
known as old Garrison Hill, about a
mile 'front.' he business part of town.
Since | had to lay over in Little
Rock fer at least one night, | went
out to the dear old school for the
blind, which is a grand institution.
But | must not take time and space
to dwell upon this. After a two
days visit, | went on to my future
work. As | walked into the school
room, on the morning of October
the tenth, | could not help think
ing how far different everything
was when | last entered the school
room as teacher, only few years
before. All my pupils were blind
but one, and her eyes were very
weak, caused from measles.
| bravely took up my work with
a determination to make it a sue
cess if it were in my power to do
so. | have realized that it is al
most impossible if not entirely so,
to get seeing people to believe that
blind person can teach success.
fully in literary schools. 1t is not
SO difficult to make them realize
that the blind can teach music,
since they have had an opportuni
ty to prove their ability In hand
ling that accomplishment But
| can truthfully make the asser-
tion that | never was more sue
cessful and never had as little
trouble IN all my eight years
teaching as | did at Fort Gibson.
1t is with extreme gratitude that
say this and not with pride.

We left Newark at seven 0 clock
Monday evening, August 18th, to
make our future home either in
Texas or Oklahoma. We bought
onr tickets to Texarkana; our train
made bad connections there, miss
ing the west bound train about
ten minutes. (The Texas law is
now that a mail train is not allow
ed to wait over thirty minutes for
another train to make connection.
If the regular train it makes
through runs with is over thirty
minutes late, they have to start
out a sub to take the mail on.
While this law helps some ways it
is big disadvantage in other
ways.) We arrived at Texarkana
about seven o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and had to wait there until
four o'clock in the evening to get
a train west over T. & P, out to
Sherman. We got to Sherman at
10 o'clock p. NJ, and left at 1926
over the H. & T. c., for Denison.
1t only took US about thirty
minutes to run over to Denison,
where we spent the remainder of
the night. Leaving there at 4:20

is where we get to our journeys end
