The death of Mrs. Nathan Pike on

In her early childhood the family
moved to st. Johnsbury and here she
resided until her marriage to Nathan
Pike on March 5, 1902. They moved
here four years ago from Waterford
and the last years of her life were
happily spent on the same street
with her father and mother. The
funeral was at ten o,colck Thursday
morning from st. Andrews church
of which she was a member, con-
Quoted by the Rev. Alfred Poole
Grint and by request of the deceased
the interment was in the cemetery
at Upper Waterford, beside a little
son who died in infancy. Besides
her husband she leaves two sons,
Nathan aged IL and John aged
seven, her parents, Mr.. and MIS-.
Thomas Rickaby, one brother. John
Rickaby, and six sisters, Misses Jen-
