Within all was tidiness and industry.
Busy with her needle whenever the
routine of the day was completed. A
welcoming cheer to all who came
none was allowed to go hungry from
her door. Her kindly heart always
yearned to bless the poor and needy.
When the Christmas season came she
always sought to have some remem-
brance ready for those who otherwise
might be forgotten. Next to her
yearning to be blessing to folks, her
predominant characteristic is best
expressed by the term "Grit''. Anxious
not to see others suffer. she was
determined to make light of her own
ills. When an accident a year ago
made her an invalid, she displayed
fortitude which challenges the admira-
ton of all who know. From first to
last she was a true wife, loving
sister, a loyal friend and bright
Christian. She is survived by her hus-
band. one sister, Mrs. Charles Taylor
Magoon of Lancaster, N. H. Funeral

Derby Center conducted by 0. J.
Anderson. pastor of the local Methodist
church. assisted by G. E. Gordon of the
