In memory of Miss Mary Knapp
oldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. J.
b. Knapp called to the heavenly rest
| August 3. Miss Knapp was one who
had put life to such noble uses that
many hearts were saddened when she
departed to the unseen home. An
earnest. energetic worker, who won
appreciation in all situations she has
filled in different localities. Her
faithfulness in the relations of office
work in the church made her many
and enduring friends. She was ever
sympathetic and hopeful, ready to do
the little things that brighten the
way of others. Her memory is pre-
cious because of self-forgetfulnes in
the service of friends. Pre-eminently
lady of taste. lover of the beauti-
full, with affection for the smallest
flower that opens and dies in season,
and one who had natural discrimina-
ton in all artistic matters Miss
Knapp was graduate of Montpelier
seminary and had taught in Georgia,
. Westtield and Irasburg. She came here
to live about II years ago when her
father, the late Rev. J. E. Knapp,
came as pastor Of the M. E. church,
and she was one of those sweet spirit
ed Christian women who realize that
true Christianity is the daily doing of
; gentle acts of thoughtful love and the
speaking of words of cheer. In all
the years of her life she has mani
c. tested that spirit in deeds of charity,
compassion and heIpfulness. She
made home haven of rest for her
friends, who deeply mourn her de-
: parture from this life and to whom
heaven will be dearer place be-
cause she is there. Death for such
: as Miss Knapp is only step over a
l shadow into the infinite brightness.
She has had her share of sorrow and
perplexity here and has also known
> he riches of compensating love and
appreciation. For US this is the day
of cloud and gloom, the full bright
d ness is not yet ours, but for her it has
+ dawned in the fairest glory and she is
at rest. The funeral services were
held on Sunday, Aug. 6 at go clock
;, in the M. E. church, Rev. F. H. Rob-
. erts of Waitsfield officiating, assisted
> by Rev. G. L. Wells. A large num-

who was buried there six years ago.
