In addition to the item last week re-
gardIng Mrs. Gorham's death we print
the following: On Monday Mrs. Hor-
tense +. (Blake) wife of James Gard
ner Gorham, died from a stroke Of
apoplexy Mrs. Gorham had been IN
poor health for long time with
serious heart trouble. She was
married to Mr.. Gorham in 1858 and by
that union four children were born to
them, Joyce, wife Of VIM. Keller of
:solcott, Maria, Lucretia and Willis,
the three latter living in the home.
In early life she became an earnest and
ardent Christian and always found
much joy and peace in fellowship with
her Master. Fer many years. even to
her death, she was a member of the
Congregational chul CHI. During the
last few years she was unable because
OF her physical condition to take any ac-
: tive part In church work, yet she was
by no means inactive, for her strong
, faith, supreme trust and confidence in
God, together with her patience. cour-
age and sweet spirit, were not only an
inspiration but an incentive to others
to stronger and purer life. By her
stepping out of this life the home loses
a home maker. the husband, daughter
and son lose a true devoted wife and
mother, the church loses true disci.
} pie. whose light was always burning,
and the community loses true friend to
all. The funeral was held at the home
Thursday IN care Of Mr.. Whipple, Rev.
A. 5. BOle, her pastor, officiating. The

CARD-We wish to extend oul
d heartfelt thanks to the friends anC

during the sickness and death of oul
> beloved wife and mother, also for thu
