OBITUARY. The death of Mrs. Clara (Ames)
Devereaux, wife of Mr.. Charles Devereaux of
Rutherford, N. j., Nov. 18th, at the home of
her mother, Mrs. John M. Ames, after years of
suffering from tubercular troubles, borne with
great fortitude and patience, brought sadness
to our entire community. The deceased was
born October Z, 1875, the youngest child and
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Ames,
in Stockton village, where she grew to woman
hood, beloved by all-teachers, schoolmates
and acquaintances-forh her attractive PERSONAL
ity and wondrously sweet disposition. Of her
it can be truly said:
"None knew her, but to love her;
Meme named her, but to praise"
After her great sorrow, consequent upon
her fathers death, December 10, 1898.
she perceptibly failed in strength, causing
great anxiety to her family. Later she re-
cuperated, and April ~, 1902, married M.
Charles Devereaux of this town, accompany
ing him to Brooklyn, N. Y. They made tenn
porary homes in various locations accessible to
the husbands business in New York, but a few
years ago bought residence in Rutherford,
N. j., usually spending the warm weather in
Stockton, Maine. Early in the past summer,
accompanied by her husband and her mother,
who had spent the winter with her, Mrs,
Devereaux came to her old home for the sum-
mer, greeting dear friends with her character
istic cheerfulness and winsome smile, conceal
ing, as had been her life habit, the WEAKNESS
and constant exhaustion consequent upon her
preying disease. Toward autumn she grad
ualy failed and late in October was obliged to
take to her bed, Frustrated by intense suffer
| ing, known only to the tenderly watchful
mother and unselishly devoted brother and
wife, whose helpful ministrations, in a meas
ure, mitigated the severe pains of dissolution
| for this accomplishing dear one. The funeral
took place November 10th at the Ames ONE
Rev. A. A. Blair of IKE Universalist church
officiating very acceptably to the mourning
relatives and friends. The floral tributes were
numerous and very beautiful, mutely testify
ing to the deep affection cherished by the
family and associates for the companionable
noble woman, gone from earthly sur roundings
into Our Fathers Home, "where God wipes
every tear away" Stockton extends heartfelt
sympathy to the husband, mother. brother anc
sister in-law, n their irreparable loss Theil
lived one is beyond mortal grief or physicalr
suffering:
Weep not that her cares are over,
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work on earth is done;
Till then we will yield, submissive,
Our treasure for Him to keep,
And rejoice in the blessed assurance,
He giveth His loved ones Sleep"
