Mildred, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Julien Emery, died Thursday, at Brook
lyn, N. Y. She was student in the Pratt
institute, where she WAS taking course in
domestic science. Her death was due to
general blood poisoning of an extremely
obscure nature. The physicians found
it impossible to locate the cause of the in
lection, which seemed to be internal.
She is survived by a father, mother and
four brothers. Miss Emery was a gradu-
ate of the Bar Harbor high school, sixth
degree member of the grange and young
woman of very lovely character. She was
devoted to her home and friends, and her
untimely death is a great sadness to a
wide circle OF friends.
