MRS. A. A. POMEROY

The following was taken from the
Coaticook Observer of Aug. 20. Mrs.
Pomeroy formerly lived in Island
Pond and had a host of friends who
mourn her loss.
A very sad death occurred in our
midst on Wednesday evening at half
past seven o'clock when Mrs. A. A.
Pomeroy, elder and only surviving
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. D. A. Rob-
inson, passed away at her home at

Mrs. Pomeroy had been in poor
health for some time, in fact, for
several years, but her friends did
dot realize its extreme seriousness
until Friday evening of last week
when she became unconscious in
which state she continued up to the
time of her death. 1t will be re-
membered that just two years ago
the only son, Selah, of Mr.. and Mrs.
Pomeroy, passed away after a short
illness.
Mrs. Pomeroy seemed never to
have quite recovered from the eff
fects of the shock which the bereave-
ment gave her although she has en-
deavored to mingle with and enjoy
the companionship of her friends.
The deceased, still in the early
years of middle life, leaves to mourn
her loss her husband and daughter
as well as her parents DR.. and Mrs.
D.,A. Robinson, and brother, Mr..
B. N. Robinson. To those may be
added host of near and dear rela-
tives and friends who grieve deeply
in the loss of a friend most kind and
genial who will long be remembered
with love.
Much sympathy is felt for the
family of the departed thus twice so
sorely bereaved in soshort a time.
The funeral service was .held this
| friday afternoon at the hour of
three at st. Stephens Church from
whence the remains were taken for
interment to the family lot in Mt.
Forest Cemetery.
The funeral was under the man
agement of Mr.. F. H. Nunns. The
bearers were Messrs. P. L. Baldwin,
L. M. Thomas, l.. w. Davis, D.
Moyle, c. E. Baldwin. F. E. Lowell

WIN AND LOSE

The local base ball team went to
Groveton Tuesday afternoon to play
the team at that place, but when
they reached there they found that
they were up against the best that
money could bring to Gtoveton. 1t
was evident that the drubbing which
the locals administered few weeks
ago didn't settle we'll on the minds
OF the Groveton fans and regardless
OF expense they gathered one crack
er-Jack team together. Five Colby
collegians, Johnston, the crack in
fielder from Littleton, and two st.
Johnsbury players were in the line
up. The locals played loose field
ing game but if they had hit at their
customary gait Groveton would
have been up against it, as it were.
Spriggings of Waterville and Taus-
SAINT of Berlin were in the points for
the locals, the former being touched
up in lively style and also was quite
wild.

Kidder
The story, which is filled with hu-
NOR and pathos, deals with the do
mestic life of these famous people.
In the past, Miss Kidder has al
ways insisted upon a fine ensemble
of players for her support, and her
present appearance in vaudeville is
no exception to the rule. All of the
roles are in capable hands. and the
production is an extremely note
worthy one.
Among other newcomers will be
James j. Morton, fittingly described
as THE Fellow of Infinite Jest" His
quaint mannerisms and original hu-
NOR have earned him the reputation
of being without a peer as a monolo-
gist.
Something in the way of a distinct
novelty will be shown by the appear
ance of the Chung Hwa Comedy Four,
a quartet of real Cinnamon, who sing
Chinese and American songs. They
are all native San Franciscans, to
whom the call of vaudeville was too
