OBITUARY.

Mrs. Anna H. White died at her home il
Winterport. July .. 1914, from q complication
Of diseases due to advanced years. She ha,
been in failing health for more than q yea
but her last illness was of six weeks duration
Until then she had busted herself with hel
usual duties, maintaining the keenest interest
in all affairs of the household in which she
could be of assistance. The deceased was borI
Prentiss and Wilmot (Fenderson) Clements
and the seventh child of family of twelve
only two Of whom survive her. On Nov. 10
1861, she united in marriage to the late Pere-
grine White of Winterport and went to live or
the homestead where she passed away. She
faithfully performed the duties of daughter
to the aged mother of her husband and of 9
mother to the two sons bereft of their own
mothers care. Four children were born to
them, only one of whom is living, Mrs. Abbe
S. Jewett, who with her husband came to the
home to care for her mother after the death OF
the husband and father. One child died in in
fancy and son and daughter lived until early
manhood and womanhood when both were call
ed to the great beyond, within few years of
each other. Then the mother, stricken SO sorely
in her double bereavement, ,bravely gathered up
the scattered threads of her life and cheerfully
lived for those who were left, and her life has
been a succession of sacrifices for those she
loved. Being a teacher before her marriage,
her interest in the education of the children
hofko a1o odn
cational lines always met with her approval.
All who came under her control or influence
could not help but profit by her example and
learn from the wisdom of her instructions,
both of which were ever on the side of right
Although particularly devoted to her home
and family yet she was of social nature and
had a large circle of friends to whom she was
ever loyal, and who now join with the family
in mourning her loss. She leaves the daugh-
ter already mentioned and the son-in-law, C.
B. Jewett who has been like an own son to her
in her declining years; a step-son, Hosea 2.
White of Swanville; brother, Eben Clements
of Hermon; a sister, Mrs. Augusta Whitney of
Winterport and two grandsons. Bertrand and
Kenneth Jewett, besides many nieces and
nephews. The funeral services were held on
Sunday afternoon, July 18th, at her late home,
Rev. F. S. Dolliff of Jackson officiating. The
large congregation of friends and the beauti-
full flowers bore testimony to the esteem in
which she wss held. The bearers were four
nephews, Roscoe L.. Ora H. and Walter E.
Clements and C. o. Whitney. M. A. Haley
had charge of the arrangements and the inter-
ment was in Pilgrims Home cemetery.
Fold reverently the weary hands
That toiled so long and well;
And while your tears of sorrow fall
Let sweet thanksgiving swell.
That life work. stretching DER long years
A varied web has been,
With silver strands by sorrow wrought
And sunny CLEANS between"
