Huldah J. Stone, a daughter of Mat
thias and Priscilla (Davison) Stone,
was born in Cabot, Oct. IL, 1885,
and lived there until her marriage
to Nathaniel Burbank of Walden, on
May IA, 1862, when they came to
what is now known as the Milo O..
Chandler farm near Noyesville,
where they lived until 1867, when
they bought, and moved to, the old
Burbank farm at the Heights, when
Harvey Burbank went to West Dan
vile to live. This farm has been
in the Burbank family since the first
tree was cut more than 100 years
ago. During the past Is years they
had spent the summers at their
cottage at Caspian Lake in Green's
boro. The five or six months at the
lake each year added much to the
pleasure of her later life. Her
husband survives her. He will be
"a years old, June %, 1912. She
was the mother of six sons: Corri N.
who went to California, when he was
IT years old and died at Olive, in
that state, Nov. 26, 1910; Lester
Warren, who is a practising physi-
clan at Cabot; Harvey, of Danville;

everything possible for the comfort
of his mother during her last years.
Bert, B., a union superintendent of
schools, living at South Lunenburg,
and Joseph Matthias, who is divi-
sion superintendent of an electric
railroad at Salisbury, Mass. Besides
she is survived by two sisters, Mrs.
Dimis D. Hill of Bristol, N. H., and
AF n1
Angeles, California, and a brother,
mia. "Aunt Huldah," as she was
so we'll known, was a quiet unas-
Stunning woman, who during her
whole life hesitated at no work or
sacrifice to add to the pleasure or
comfort of those about her. She
was truly loyal to any good cause,
and to no bad one; she was one to
whom the sorrowing instinctively
turned for sincere sympathy.
While she had strength and before
the day of professional nurses, she
always stood ready to aid in cases
of sickness in which her quiet ear
nestness, willingness, capacity for
work and plain common sense made
her presence of especial value. In
religious belief she had strong con-
victions, being an earnest believer
in the Universalist faith, though
she sprang from a family of active
Congregationalists. She was one
of whom all who knew her gladly
say: Her work was well done; her
life has been a great influence for
good"
The community was saddened Fri
day by the death of Albert E. Cox,
who had been confined to the house
little more than a week with grip
and tonsilitis followed by a quinsy
sore. His condition wasn't consid-
cred dangerous until the day he died
and his death came as a great shock
to his family and friends. He was
quiet home loving man and much
respected in the community where
he has always stood for that which
was best and noblest. He will be
missed in the church and choir of
which he had been a member for
many years, and always in his place
unless sickness prevented. Fifteen
years ago he was united in marriage
with Olive E. Num- of Danville who
is left to mourn the loss of a loving
indulgent husband. Funeral ser
vices were held Sunday at the home
Rev. F. E. Currier officiating, and
were largely attended; friends COM
