was obliged to give up her work on account
Of i'll health and return home. Her condition
was not thought to be serious until few
months ago, but from that time she slowly
but surely failed until the silent Messenger
bore her across the peaceful river. In the
latter part of May she was taken to Farm
lngton, N. H., in the hope that the change
might be beneficial. All that loving hands
could do was done to save her life. but it
seems it was not for her to recover. 1t is
rarely that one so endowed with intellectual
ability and with the bright promise of a
brilliant future is borne away when all
seemed so fair and bright. Her happy
though quiet disposition endeared her to a
large circle of friends. The record of her
life is such that brings assurance that she
lives on, shining star, in that holier home
where many dear and near were already
waiting to welcome her. The funeral ser
vices were held at her home in Hampden,
where Rev. Elmer F. Pember of Bangor
spoke words of sympathy. Many friends
sent beautiful flowers as tokens OF the re-
,pect in which the deceased was held.
Times on the death of Susie B. Greeley
by Ella E. Rowe.
| stood alone, as in dream,
NV senses seemed to ti@e,
/ wrung my hands, did not scream
But oh, the agony!
She was so young, so full of life,
Just bubbIing o'er with fun,
How can battle in this strife
Till my life's work is done?
She was not frail; so well and strong
cannot think her dead.
We mourn for her it is not wrong,
One joy in life has fled.
How can we bear this sorrow now
We cannot, yet we must,
When youth sat lightly on her brow,
We can only pray, and trust.
Our loss we know is but her gam,
We bear this heavy load,
Our tears flow gently like the ram
We walk this weary road.
But in the future we shall see
Our Susie once again.
The meeting aye! what Will IL De!
The bliss will then remain.
We strive to see beyond the veil,
That death hangs dark between.
we KNOW sue SAFE duu llOo AAOhA P'eAA
Though absent and unseen.
For Jesus says, His words are true,
A place | will prepare,
For those who love me here below
Will dwell with me up there.
"Eye hath not seen nor ear hath heard,'
SO reads the book divine,
The glories of the other world
Doth in His will combine.
Oh Father breathe into our soul
Thy spirits holy air,
Take our poor hearts in thy control,
Redeem us from despair.
We will be patient in our lot,
Well trust to Thee our care,
Wen live for others who have not,
Our burden Thou will bear.
And some sweet day, we know not when,
Well leave it all with Thee;
Well join our Susie once again,
And live eternally.
Just before going to press last week we
were advised of the death at the Hotel SOM
erset. Boston, at 10 d. NJ, Aug. 5th, OF MRS.
George P. Field; but no particulars were
then obtainahle. We have since learned
that she had been i'll with Bright's disease
for long time and steadily failing for the
few weeks preceding her death, but this
was not generally known and the news OF
her having passed away was shock TO her
friends in this, her native place. She was
Miss Alma c.. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam Field of Belfast, but for many years
had been a resident of Boston. Every sum-
mer she accompanied her husband on
visit to their old home, in which they both
have ever retained lively interest. The
funeral services were held at the home OF
her daughter, Mrs. Horace B. Pearson, &c
Monmouth street, Longwood, Mass, Sat
urday, Aug. Sth, at $50 D. m.

of his sister, Mrs. Mary Norton, aged so

last Saturday and the interment was in
Grove cemetery.
Patrick Co., Portland, died August 9Th at
his home in that city after an illness OF over

plOyed as a travelling salesman by COnant
