MRS. ADELBERT THOMPSON DIES
IN EAST BOSTON
Her Passing VIII be Sincerely Mourn.
ed by Many Sk0whegan People

Friends in Skowhegan were greatly
saddened upon learning of the death
Saturday of Mrs. Harriet F. (Witham)
Thompson at the home of her daugh-
ter in East Boston, where she had
been guest since January. Some
two years ago. Mrs. Thompson un-
derwent a surgical operation and al
though she recovered something of
her former health she was never COM
pletely well and the end was not en-
tirely unexpected. Her age was sc
years. Mrs. Thompson was a church
woman and was greatly interested in
all things pertaining to Christian
welfare. She was a member of the
Bethany Baptist Society and a stu
dent at the Sunday School connected
Herewith. She was also a member
of the Helen Coburn Mission Circle
and in these organizations she will
be greatly missed.
! Mrs. Thompson was born in Cara
funk and as years ago married Adel-
bert Thompson. The marriage VOWS
were said in Cornville, but the couple
began housekeeping first in Scion.
Later they removed to East Madison
and from there to Skowhegan, this
last change being made fifteen years
since. Mr.. Thompson, who was en-
gagged in the lumber business passed
away five years ago and since that
time his widow has divided her time
between Skowhegan and East Bos-
ton. OF her immediate family, Mrs.
! Thompson is survived by one son,
E., Eugene, who is engaged in the wood
working business and one daughter,
Gertrude, who is the wife of Charles
Atkinson, and with whom the mother
passed the closing days of her life
With a true devotion the de-
ceased had also cared for her grand
son, Master Wendell Thompson since
| he was six months of age, and con-
sequently he too is greatly bereaved.
Aside from the church and it's kind
red organizations, Mrs. Thompson
had been a member of the Woman's
, Relief Corps and the Town Improve
ment Society. The body arrived in
Skowhegan Monday night and funer-
al services were held yesterday from
the Thompson home on Summer ST.,
Rev. George Merriam of Bethany
Church officiated and interment was
made in the South Side Cemetery.

Accounts May be Opened In Postal
Savings Bank After July

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an
account in a postal savings bank after
July LIST, according to an instructive
leafet on the Postal Savings System
just issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension
of the service will be made possible
by permitting persons living in COM
munities so sparsely settled as not to
justify the designation of their local
Offices as regular postal savings
banks to open accounts by mail.
