We wish to correct an error in the obituary
of last week in which through a misprint the
word daughters was changed to daughter. the
fact being that the tenderest and most devot-
ed care was given to Mrs. Hatch by both her
daughters, Miss Harriet Hatch having been
constantly at her side, and Mrs. Ellen Shorey
having several months ago resigned her posi-
ton as matron of the Home for Aged Women
in Belfast in order to give her whole time to
the care of her mother

son and is survived by her husband and one
daughter, Miss Irma, and by one brother, Willis
A. Thompson of this city. Her early life was

who will learn of her death with regret. She
was a compositor and worked for a number of
years in the Progressive Age office. Since
her marriage with Mr.. Gates she has been
frequent visitor to Belfast and her sweet and
winning personality, her kind heart and
thoughtful care of her aged mother, won her
many new friends in the old home. She was
connected with the Unitarian society in Leb-
anon and was deeply interested in all that per-
tained to the good of her adopted city.
