Mrs. Sarah n antOr.

Mrs. Sarah Mantor, who passed
away at her home in West Madison
early Tuesday morning, March 90
was the daughter of Isaac and Mar
tina (Rice) Salley of Embden, being
the eldest of family of seven children
one of whom died in infancy and one
in young manhood. The others are
Owen Salley OF Fairfield; DR.. I. L.
Salley of Skosyhegan, Walter, of Mad
ison and Mrs. ]. c. Williams of An
son.
Mrs. Mantor was born October z
1845, and twice married. Her first
husband was Merar Pierce of Emb-
den. Two sons were born, one dying
in infancy when Mr.. Pierce died, the
other, Isaac, OF Skowhegan, who was
with his mother during her last days
Her second husband was George Man
tor of No. Arson where they lived for
a year after their marriage then NOV
ed to the home In West Madison 3S
years ago. Five children were born
to them, Mrs. Mortimer French of So
Ion, Luke Mantor who died 16 years
ago In young manhood and Mrs. Eu-
gene Burns of Madison Malon Mantor
of Sherwood, North Dakota and Wa
Ion who had always remained at
home and with his wife has cared for
his mother during her sickness. The
children were all with her for the last
few days except Malon, and did every
thing that could be done.
Mrs. Mantor's life had more burdens
than often fall to the lot of one pair
of hands, she being left alone with
six small children and only her farm
to support them with. With unusual
business tact, and wonderful cour-
age. she persevered and kept her fam
lily together and not only that, but
sent them to school and lived her life
with such cheerfulness and fortitude
that to come In contact with her was
like an inspiration of strength, al
ways having time in her busy life for
the needs of others. Thus a life of use
fulness is closed and beloved moth
er and friend is at rest.
The funeral was held at the home
Thursday afternoon. Rev. Frederick
Means speaking words of comfort
Two hymns were rendered by Mrs. x.
G.. Gray and Mrs. Ada Johnson of
Madison and flowers were sent by the
Sunshine society of which Mrs. Man
tor was member and by other
friends. The interment was in the
cemetery at No. Arson by the side of
her husband, who died twenty five
years ago, and her son, listening to
the welcome plaudit. well done
