OBITUARY
MRS. HARRIET L. MADDOCKS. .
Mrs. Harriet l.. Maddocks died
Wednesday evening. of last week at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. w. F.
Brown, after an illness of about sew
en- weeks In which she was confined
to her bed, although for several
years previous her health had been
delicate. She was born in Liberty
seventy-six years ago and was first
married to DR. B. N. Harris, a prac-
ticing dentist of Waterville. From this
union there were two children, one, a
son, which died in its infancy and
the other a daughter with whom she

wife, gave her the place of mother

parent and this beautiful trust and
love was never broken. During her
long sickness she received the tender
care that a mother should have and
was an accomplishing patient. She
felt that her mission in life had been
accomplished and longed for the time
to come when she should be made
tree. She leaves a number of rela-

many sections of the Union. The fun

afternoon, Rev. Mr.. Bainton of the
Congregational church, officiating
