Cured at her home on Randolph avenue
/, on Tuesday morning at $50, after |
several months illness. Mrs. BLANCHARD
went to Chicago last April to remain
for an indefinite time with her daugh

to be improved in health. In February
she was taken ill with the grip, and al
: soon as that was somewhat better, trou
Bile which for years had been with her
developed to an alarming extent, and
she was quite i'll for months with 4
liver disease. Regaining no strength
there, it was thought best for her to
attempt the trip home, which she did
ARRIVING here about three weeks ago, ac-
companied by her daughter. On her ar
rival here she went to the home OF her
son, DIR. u. O. Blanchard, till her home
which had been closed during her absence
could be made ready for her. About
ten days ago she was moved to her home
on Randolph avenue, which gave her
much satisfaction, but it did not improve
her health, for she steadily lost and since
that time had been critically ill. Mrs.
Ellen Blood Blanchard was born in
BIcokfeld July 81, 1887, one of three
daughters and three sons OF Rev. Friend
and Emily Brown Blood, her father be-
ring Baptist minister well known in this
part of the state. She lived in her early
| life in several towns in that vicinity. 1t
was in Plainfeld that they were settled
as she came to the years of maturity,
and she was there married to DIR. George
Blanchard, a dentist. After living at
Barre for time, they came here in 1866
land DR.. Blanchard opened an Office for
the practice of dentistry which he fol-
lowed till his death in 1885. Since
that time, Mrs. Blanchard has continued
in her home, and her, long residence
here has gained many friends. Four
children were born to DIR. and Mrs
Blanchard, one son, living only short
time, another son, Eugene, who lived two
years; DIR. L. o. Blanchard, who is a
dentist living in town any Maud Blanch-
ard, now the wife of Thomas Fitch of
Chicago. The two latter have been UNI
failing in their attention upon her in
her last years. Mrs. Blanchard joined
the Christian church in this place in
1875, and was ever an interested and
devoted member till the union of that |
body with the Congregational church,
after which she continued communi |
can't i'm the Bethany church. Upon the

and prosperity, has been faithful to its
principles. For nearly fifteen years she
