Obituary

Mrs. Lucy (Heald) Longley died at
on Tuesday. April %, aged SO years
and four months.
Mrs. Longley was the widow of the
late Jonathan S. Longley and the
daughter of Cyrus and Pamela
fOakes) Head, the fourth of ten chill
dren and the last survivor of that
large family She was born in Nor
ridgeWock December 81, 1879 and her
entire life has been spent in that
town. She was married to Mr., Long
leH in 1919 and moved TO the farm
which has been here home and where
the funeral services were held on
Thursday, April 21 Mrs Longley
WAS one Of the oldest and best known
Of The towns residents. for while she
had outIiyed most OF the generation
tc which she belonged, her strong, act
i've life had kept her in touch with
the younger neighbors. While her
tastes were strongly domestic she was
deeply interested in current affairs
and with faculties keenly acute and
wide reading she was one of the
towns remarkably interesting and be
loved old people.
Since the death of her husband in
1883, Mrs. Longley's only son Charles
H. has remained on the farm and with
his wife, who has been a daughter in
the truest sense have cared for their
mother in the later years since she
laid aside the heavier part of the
work. The words of the Baptist pas
tor from Norridgewock village, who
attended the service seemed particul-
arly fitting to her quiet, Christian life.
The burial was in the family lot at
the village.

4 MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are "jusr ready to Drop"
when you feel so weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
when you went to bed, then you need
help right away.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone, N. Y, saying: 81 was in a badly
rundown condition for several weeks,
but two bottles OF Vinol put me on
my feet again and made me strong
and we'll. vinol has done me more
good than all the other medicine l
ever took"
II the careworn, haggard men and
women, the pale, sickly children and
feeble old folks around here would
follow Miss Dumas example, they,
too, would soon be able to say that
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
remedy. had built them up and made
them strong.
1t Is a wonderfully strengthening
and inyigorating body-builder. and we
sell 1t under an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction. You get your money
back II Vinol does not help you.
