| Susan W., widow of the late Ebenezer
Newell of Citypoint and daughter of Abraham
and Deborah (Ward) Mclaughlin, was born at
Weeks Mills, Maine, August II, 1880, and died
at her home at Citypont, April s. 1912, aged so
years. Suffering from complication of dis
eases, an attack of grip was the immediate
cause of her death, and during an illness of
two weeks she had the constant and devoted
care of her immediate family. For almost
sixty years her frail body was racked by pain
and disease, but her brave spirit ever rose
above her infirmties and her motto when in
pain," don't let it know that you know it is
there" was expressive of her courage. Early in
life she became member of the Free Will
Baptist church and was always sustained by
strong and unfaltering religious faith Living
in world of high ideals herself, where the
purity and beauty of right living and right
thinking were the essentials, she had yet a
broad minded tenderness and charity for the
unfortunate. Of a magnetic personality, she
had peculiar power of helpfulness to all who
were brought within her circle, and during the
last years of her life, when her increasing
feebleness kept her practically confined to one
room, "the place where mother was'' made the
centre of the world for all her family. She
leaves to mourn their loss two daughters, Mrs
Levi Clay and Miss R. T. NEWELL one grand
son, Basil H. Newell;two step -granddaughters,
and many nieces and nephews. The funeral
services were held at her home at Citypoint on
Easter Sunday, the Rev. c. E. Walsh of Ban
gor officiating, and three of her favorite hymns
were beautifully sung by Walter and Willis
Hatch, Miss Caro- Hatch and Miss Hurd of
Belfast The floral tributes from relatives and
friends were many and were especially beauti-
full. The remains were laid in the receiving
tomb of Grove cemetery in Belfast, and later
will be inferred in the in the family lot at the
Centre Montville cemetery.

and in her earlier days attended that church
but her whole life was that of consistent,
whole hearted Christian. She was ever ready
and willing to do what she could for her own
and all under her influence. OF rugged con-
stitution, and ceaseless worker, life fingered
until the body was worn out. For year, day
and night, she has had the constant care and
devotion of her daughter Eleanor. Two daugh-

She lived long and useful life, was nind-
hearted and generous to all, and was most
happy when doing some little deed of kindness
to those about her.
