MISS MARGARET MAY.

The early death of Margaret May in her 2ls
 year and following so quickly that of hel
 father, the late Lauren May, was peculiarly
 sad. Her youth, her sweetness of manner ani
 her many Christian virtues endeared her tc
 many to know her was to love her. In heI
 l4th year she went to Norwich to friends with
 the intention of taking up some branch of
 study. But her delicate constitution pre-
 vented and after some time she took up a
 light position with the J. B. Martin Go, where
 she'was held in high esteem. She leaves a
 sister, Mary, who so lovingly attended her
 during herlong illness, and young brother,
 Charlie. to whom she was greatly attached, of
 Bridgewater, J. P. May, Joseph May. and Mrs
 T. H. McCailey of Danbury and IF. May of
 New Milford. The funeral was largely at- tended from the home of her brother, T. F.
 May of New Milford on Saturday morning,
 February G. at 9.30 and services at St Francis Xaviers church where besides the requiem
 mass musical program of unusual excel-; lence was'given. The soloist was Miss Kath- crime McCailey of St Joseph's choir. Danbury,
 accompainedlon the organ by her sister, Miss, Nellie. of the same choir. During the offer-
 tory violin solo, the Flower Song, by Lange
 with organ accompaniment was given with much feeling by Mrs J. W. Gordon of New town. Miss McCally's singing of There's Beautiful Land on High was very affecting.
