OBITUARY..

Died in Frankfort on Saturday, August 3,
1872 Ann Maria, widow of Eli C. West, aged
IA years, 8 months and 27 days. Mrs. West
was born in Swanville, April Z, 1888, the second
daughter, and youngest of four children, of
the late Isaac W. and Jane Field Nickerson.
She was reared in a comfortable and pleasant
home in which family ties were tender and
strong. She received her education in the
public schools of her native town. was good
scholar for her day, and taught school previous
to her marriage. On November 29, 1851
Thanksgiving day-she was married to Eli Z.
West of Frankfort, and went with him to her
new home in the west part of that town, and
there remained nearly ffty-five years. until
called to her Home above. For very nearly
fifty years, or until the death of Mr.. West. six
years ago, they worked together hand in hand,
until what was little more than clearing
when they took up life together, became one
of the large and we'll known farms of Waldo
county, with large and commodious farm build
ings She became the mother of five children,
four of whom survive her. They are Melvin
J. of Mills, Mass, Mrs Ellen M. Ward OF
D..
on the home place, and with whom she spent
the last years of her life, and Mrs. Edith NJ.
Bartlett of Winthrop. The death of her
youngest child Eben NJ, February l. 1907, fol-
lowing that of his father in less than year,
was blow from which she never recovered,
and which, no doubt, fastened the end, besides
clouding the last years of her life. She is also
survived by one grandchild, Roscoe L., son OF
Melvin ]. West. If ever woman held IN
sacred trust the honor and dignity of wifehood
and motherhood, this woman did Modest,
chaste and pure in thought, in manner and in
speech, q silent influence emanated from her
life and character which had its effect on all
those who came in contact with her. The whole
purpose of her life was devotion to her family
and friends. She never thought of herself, nor
spared herself, and was never 50 happy as
when her services were required by others.
and always gave of her time and strength I'M
faiingly and unfiinchingly to be of service.
For almost fifty years she was most devoted
wife and mother, and the heart Of her home.
After the death of her husband and son, as
referred to above, there seemed to be no one
of her family who needed her personal care
and help. She could not think of herself, nor
live for self alone, and 50 the ties that had
bound her. to earth weakened and dissolved.
The end came quietly, just few hours before
the children who live away reached her bed
side. The funeral was held from her late home,
Tuesday afternoon, August 9Th. Rev. Frank S.
Dolliff of Jackson officiating. Interment was
in the family lot in the Monroe cemetery.

In report of the last annual meeting
in Portland, and later in an editorial on
the coming semi-centennial meeting, sug-
gestions were made concerning the flu
ture of the Maine Press Association and
the hope was expressed that something
would be done to give it a new lease OF
life and increased usefulness. There
has never been a time when there was
greater necessity for the publishers Of
weekly newspapers getting together and
standing together. Recent legislation
at Washington, and the rulings OF the
post Office department, seem designed to
put the country newspapers out OF BUSH
ness. 1t is generally recognized fact
that the local weeklies are "unawed by
influence and unbribed by gain" and that
they are pledged to Religion, Liberty
and Law" while the great dailies are, in
many cases, owned or controlled by the
trusts and do not voice the sentiments
of the people. The tendency of recent
legislation is to supplant the country
weekly with the city daily and thus de-
prive the people in the rural communi-
ties of a defender of their rights and an
exponent of their sentiments. Whether
the policy is inspired by the big dailies
for their pecuniary benefit, or by an Or
ganization of the trusts who wish to
silence the peoples papers-and it is evil
IDENTIFY one or both-the object is the
same, and it is a question of life or
