OBITUARY. On the evening of Thursday,
November II, 1909, one of Stocktons oldest
and highly respected ladies', Mrs Mary Staples
widow of the late Capt. Everett Staples, quiet
ly passed into the life immortal after linper-
ing illness, due to combined heart and kidney
troubles, at the advanced age of eighty -one
years. Mrs. S. was born in Prospect, now
Stockton Springs, March 25, 1928, the daughter
of Mr.. Enoch Staples and his wife, Mrs Sarah
(Hichborn) Staples, and was one of a large
family. In 1854 she married Capt. Everett
Staples, and the following year accompanied
him on voyage in the ship Jacob Badger,
and was away from home seven consecutive
years. She lived on shipboard with her hus
band almost continuously until his retirement
from so strenuous life and her children were
mostly ocean-born, several dying in foreign
lands. After visiting nearly every commercial
port of importance in the world Capt. S. re-
turned to his native town and erected a fine
home overlooking the ocean he and his wife so
loved. There he closed his honorable life in
1899, leaving Mrs. S. and her two SURVIVING
children, Mrs. Ada May Hopkins and Mr.
Everett Staples, Jr, in the homestead A
woman of strong convictions, she was an un-
faltering Universalist in religious belief. and
was ever ready to aid, by word or donation,
every church work, as well as charitable enter
| prise, in town. She will be greatly missed in
the Current Events Club, of which she had
been an esteemed member since its organiza-
ton; and in the Ladies' Aid Society of the
| Universalist parish, in which her interest was
unfagging. Remarkably well preserved until
recently, her erect figure and quick, elastic
| step were long familiar upon our streets She
