West Paris.
The death of Mary Anna Kinsley, wife
of Albion L. Tubbs, at her home In Seff'
ner, Florida, on Tuesday, brings sorrow
to many friends in her native state. MIS-:
Tubbs was the daughter of Welcome and
Lucy Hathaway Kinsley, and was born
in Woodstock, but in childhood came
with her family to the pretty farm In
Greenwood, about one and one-half
miles from West Paris, which has always
been known as the Kinsley farm.
After the death of her parents and
brother, the late George W. Kinsley, she
Was united in marriage with Mr.. Tubbs,
and they still resided on the farm until
about eight years ago they sold and pur-
chased home at South Paris on High
land Avenue, but later sold and pur..
chased building and stock ofgoods, and
Mr.. Tubbs ran a general store until last
fall. when he sold and Mr.. and Mrs.
Tubbs, in company with other members
of the Tubbs family moved to Fiorida'
Mrs. Tubbs was never strong, and the
past wear has been one of illness and suf-
feriug, snd although everything that
human power could do was done that
she might at least regain strength to
tsyain visit her native state, 1t was all to
no avail.
Besides her husband she leaves no rel.
atiyes nearer than cousins, some OF
whom are the sons and daughters of the
late ex-governor Perham-Mrs. Hattie
Rowe of Portland, Theron Hathaway OF
South Paris, George Hathaway of Nor
way.
Mrs. Tubbs was an estimsble woman,
of quiet, retiring nature. Those VINO
knew her best loved her most, and knew
of her noble, pure mind, staunch friend,
ship and unfaiing generosity. Several
people have enjoyed the privilege OF a
home with her and will mourn her loss,
among whom is Rev. Danno johnson OF
the Baptist church, West Acton, W.
The remains were brought to South
Paris, and the funeral held at Deering
Memorial church, Saturday at p. NJ,
and the interment was in the family lot
in Riverside Cemetery.

ETY. shower at her home on Main Street
