Deaths Of Mary /. Jenkins and Mrs.
Miles Bailey-LocaIs.

Monday morning, March 9Th. there
went from our village our oldest re-
sident, Mary 1. Pippen, widow OF
-.Ie late Orrin Jenkins. Born in Lyn-
don on the Adna burlington place,
June 7th, 1880, educated in the
schools of her day, reared in the
IuIl love of nature, she developed a
particularly sweet disposition. A
daughter of Samuel and Betsey
Drew Phippen, she was united in
marriage to Orrin Jenkins, a son of
Rev. Lewis Jenkins, February 10,
$50. To them were born two child
ten, Ora, recently deceased and Lizzie
an exceptionally faithful and con-
siderate daughter, whose watch
full and anxious care did much to
smooth the pathway of this veneer
able and much loved woman, who
passed peacefully to the other side
lin the Saith year of her age. Aunt
Mary Jenkins has finished her all too
brief visit of more than four score
years, she has gone away, but the
memory of her blameless life will
remain with US as a benediction. Her
life was an inspiration, and the ten
der memory of her friendly associa-
ion will abide like the fragrance of
beautiful rose. We gathered to
pay humble tribute to the memory
of our friend who had gone away, we
listened to the words of the clergy
man as he spoke feelingly, simply and
truly of our friend. We saw the tear
stained faces and felt the glow of
affection and sympathy that pervad-
ed all and we knew that this good
and faithful servant who had labOr1-
ouslv toiled over the rugged road of
fe had done the Masters work. For
several years she had been in
weakened and very feeble condition,
she had been in the ever tightening
grasp of a condition that was re-
cognized as fatal, and yet she welcOm-
I'd the passing serenely, confidently
and as one not afraid. w. H. j.
