Woodman of Nevada City, CAL; Fred B.
Woodman, Woodland, CAL, and Chas. F.
Woodman of Bangor. She also leaves
two sisters. Mrs. Elizabeth Mckinney
and Mrs. Celeste N. Webb of Auburn
Heights. She was connected with no
social or fraternal orders but had been a
member of the Methodist church in her
old Searsmont home. Her love of home
and family was as deep and true as ever
beat in human breast. Loyal, tender
and self-sacrifcing, her life was pathetic
in the mental suffering that she endured
by the broken links in the golden chain
of love and affection.
For more than two years she had been
confined to her bed with nurse in con-
slant attendance. Every possible atten-
ton that loving hearts and hands could
give has been hers, and her slightest
want has been anticipated. Only by
such perfect care has she been kept so
long, as on more than one occasion the
family have gathered by her bedside sup
posing that the nour had come. Very
fortunately there has been no physical
suffering and the end came as gently as
the falling dews of heaven. She has left
memory that will ever be tenderly
cherished by those who were bound to
her IN bonds OF love.
There is a calm for those who weep,
"A rest for weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie and sweetly sleep.

partment distinct he had charge of the
latter. Returning again to Rockland he
bought the market of Pottle & MacAllis-
ter, where the Narragansett hotel stands
and ran it two years. Then for two
years he had charge of the Farmers Ex-
change on LIMERICK street Retiring
