MIDDLE INTERvALE.
The death of Linnie, wife of Liscoe A.
Hall, who died Feb. 4th, brings sadness
to our homes here as when young lady
and also from childhood up, she lived In
this neighborhood; we knew her as q
pupil in the school room, always having
a good department, and a. friend and
neighbor ever kind and faithful. As
she grew to womanhood she proved .
devoted wife and mother; she ever tried
to sacrifice all II possible for the good OF
her only daughter Elsie, who We all
know will sadly miss her dear mother.
Her sister Bertha, who married q brother
to Liscoe, died some years ago. Their
mother died when they were children and
Casper Capen, the father, was left with
these two little girls, and faithfully cared
for them, never marrying again. He ID
now left without wife or child and he
has the sympathy of all In bis Loneliness.
Our soldier friend at Togus, Dennis
Casey, writes that this Is the coolest
weather he ever knew. It has been 48
below zero. and the old men are dying
fast, 81 deaths last month. There Is a
bill in Congress increasing our pensions
$l2 mouth for all men 90 years old, $l5
for 70 years old, and $50 for %. Every
true patriot believes that our old soldiers
who saved our flag ought to have all
Uncle Sam will give them.
