OBITUARY.


After nearly four years brave struggI
against tuberculosis, Mark Henry Mason
only son of Joseph B. and Jennie M
Mason, passed peacefully away Monda.
night, Jan. 80, at the little woodland home
Gimp Comfort, which he loved so we'll
even when he knew his failing health
might never be restored
In the early stages of his illness every
effort was made to overcome the insidious
disesse The first winter in Arizons
seemed OF some benefit, but the cough
hold ON, SO Denver, COL, was Mr.. Mason's
next resort. Two winters there slightly
retarded the trouble, but it took new
hold in the second winter there. Then,
after trying camp life for few months,
!homesickness compelled his return to
Maine in June, 1910.
For q time the pleasure of being with
home friends seemed to have beneficial
effect and he grew much stronger by his
frequent trout fishing trips. Then the
idea of a camp in the woods appealed to
his fancy, and as every wish he expressed
was gratified by his father, a coy build
ing at the foot of Beech mountain near
Long pond, was erected in August. He
was able to help in the work and laid
hopeful plans for gardening and chicken
raising in the spring. His wonderful cour-
ago never left him and he welcomed the
many friends who called on him with
CHEEKY hospitality, chatting of the pleas
ant hours he spent at his little hermitage
reading aud busying himself in various
ways.
His patient fortitude never wavered,
even when his father in his daily trips to
carry food and other necessaries found the
brave boy too weak to attend to the work
OF bringing wood and water. The end
came very suddenly, for on Sunday he
was his bright, CHEEKY self to his several
callers, though he kept his bed that day,
owing he said to a weakness of the limbs
which he thought would soon be all right
again. Yet the Angel of Relief was very
near, and the next day freed the brave
spirit from its worn-out body with
scarcely struggle to mark it's flight to
the life beyond the vail, where sorrow,
pain and suffering are unknown.
The funeral was at the church on Thurs
day, Feb. 2, the pastor speaking comfort
ing words of consolation and the quartet
singing beautiful selections. The inter-
naent was in the family lot at Mt. Height.
Much sympathy is expressed for all the
bereaved, especially the only sister, Maud

The news of the death of valued
townswoman, Mrs. Mary Jane Springer,
was received with sadness by those who
had long known her and held her in high
regard. In her early life here she was
active in church work and interested in
all temperance movements. Her persever-
ance and personal participation in can
wasting for and in securing lot for Bay
View cemetery are recalled by older resi-
dents. In time realizing the consumma-
ton of her efforts, the proper inclosing Of
the site was undertaken. Later the pur-
chase of hearse was followed by the
building OF receiving tomb, all of which
was accomplished through her instru-
mentality. The records of the cemetery
association contain memorial to her for
her activity and success in these achieve
ments. For several years bodily intirm-
tiles have confined her closely at home,
but she was still interested in affairs about
the place. She loved life, and up to her
last illness OF few days was active in her
home and ever glad to greet her friends.
When she neared life's boundary, with
kindred and friends about her, her strong
spiritual faith supported her. The funeral
was held at her late home Thursday after
noon, Feb. 2. She was laid at rest beside
her husband, who died several years ago.
At the burial service Rev. c. E. Bromley,
of Sullivan, addressed the assem- pled
friends. Rev. Mr.. Mayo offered prayer,
the choir rendering effectively the hymns.
