MRS. ANN WORKS
Mary Ann Wells was born in Lowell
June 4, 1929, and lived nearly all of her
life in that town.. In 1854 she was
married to Daniel Works. Two daugh-
tiers were born to them, the eldest,
Cornelia j., dying when young lady.
After Mr.. Works death Mrs. Works
lived alone for several years until fail
ing health compelled her to give up
her home Over six years ago she
came to Bloomington to live with her
daughter, Mrs. F. E. Newton. Not
withstanding her age Mrs. Works at
once interested herself in the church
and neighborhood, and made many
warm friends. But all the time she
was gradually failing. and had been
confined to her room most of the time
for three or four years. The love of
reading was great comfort in these
last years. She read historical and
religious literature, as we'll as the news
of the day. Only week before her
death she asked the nurse for paper
and her glasses, and read for some
time By keeping up with the current
events of the day. she was able to talk
on different subjects, and was pleas
ant companion for both young and old.
One would never have mistrusted by
her manner, that she was a great
sufferer from a deadly disease. Even
in these last months, it was joy to
meet her and feel the cordial hand
clasp and see her face light up with
welcome She was very patient in all
her sickness. never complaining. One
of the hardest things for her to give
up was church attendance, as it was
| the habit of her life, and only failing
| health and infrmities of age, could
| keep her away.
| Very liberal in her religious belief,
! she was member of the NJ. r. church
in Lowell for many years. She was
conscious to the end and expressed her
willingness to go, and the hope that
she should be patient to the end. Oct.
