OBITUARY.

Mary Ethel Hardy, wife of Fred A. Nealley.
died at her home in Winterport. Oct. 18th af-
ter a long and painful illness. She was the
only child of the late A. Wheeler and Carrie
(Libby) Hardy, and was born, in the home
where she died. in November, 1883. She grad
uated from the Winterport High school in
1905 and was engaged in teaching in the pub
lie schools of her town until her marriage.
She was united in marriage to Fred A. Neal
unicn two children were born-Clermont,
aged 81 years. and Verita. aged q years. both
OF whom are deprived in early life of tender
mother's loving care. Her health failed about
year ago. but the long illness wss borne with
patience and courage. She went to the home
OF her mother, Mrs. Carrie E. CroxfOrd. in
the early summer. but her desire to be in her
turned there. During the past two months
her mother was with her, lovingly caring for
her only child. She was a Christian, both in
spirit and action. and three weeks before her
death, at her request, Rev. A. J. Lockhart
came to her home and performed the baptis-
NAL ceremony. 1t can be truly said that her
life was an open book in which, indeed, few
were the errors to be seen. noble daugh-
ter, true wife and devoted mother has en-
tered into her reward and sad and desolate are
those .bereft. The funeral was held at the
residence Friday afternoon, Rev. A. J. Lock-
hart officiating. The flowers were profuse and
beautiful, fitting embIems of the pure life
ended here, but whose fragrance will live on.
The interment was in the Winterport ceme-
terry. M. A. Haley conducted the services.
Her hands are gently folded, and calm her
r placid brow,
Her soul is with her Saviour, all troubles end
ed now.
Her husbands home is lonely, her mothers
heart is sad,
Her children need their mother, and no way
seemeth glad.
But faith that bringeth comfort if we can un-
derstand,
She's only gone before US, to dwell in Christs
own land.
