1t is with regret most profound
that we are called upon to record the
death of Mrs. d. b. Mcneil, wife OF
Daniel B. Mcneil. section foreman OF
Norridgewock, which took place on
Thursday, the 18th. Mrs. Mcneil
had been suffering of late with varl-
cose veins which were very paIntul
at times but she had been confined to
her bed but a few days and on the
day she passed away she had felt
much better and was able to be about
the house, sitting at the dinner table
with her family and afterwards help
ing the servant with the dishes. In
the afternoon the children went to
school and Mr. Mcneil went to wa
terville on business. While the lat
ter was waiting at the Oakland Sta
ton for a Watervile train he receiv-
ed word that his wife was dead and
Immediately obtained an automobile
to take him home. Mrs. Mcneil was
formerly Miss Catherine Mcdonald,
daughter of Daniel Mcdonald and
wife of West Lake Anslie, C. B. She
went to Boston when seventeen years
of age and was employed there TOT
nine Years, after which she came to
Oakland On May Goth, 1897 in Bel
fast, Maine. she was united in mar
riage to Daniel Mcneil of Oakland by
the Rev. Father ]. f. Kelley. Mr..
and Mrs. Mcneil after their marriage
lived in Oakland for two years after
which he was transferred to Madison
where they resided for two years.
They then came to NorridgeWock'
where they have since made their
home. Besides her husband, Mrs.
Mcneil leaves to mourn her loss
three children Joseph D., Lester f.,
and Evelyn NJ, also a mother, sister
and brother in West Lake Anslie, c.
b. The deceased was prepared for
death shortly before she passed away
by Father p. e. Desjardins. Inter
ment was in the Catholic Cemetery at
Skowhegan on Sunday after services
in the church there. Relatives to
attend the funeral from out of town
were Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy Otis and
two daughters of Oakland Mr. and
Mrs. John McEachern of Madison and
Mrs. John Fifield of Watertown, Mass.
The death has cast gloom over Mrs.
McNeils many friends in town as
well as elsewhere as she was q wO-
man who carried those she loved in
her heart of hearts and her hand was
never weary. her step never failed in
ministering unto. caring for and
waiting upon those who were in any
way dependent upon her, being al
ways ready to lend helping hand in
time of need, both in acts of kindness
and in words. May her soul rest
in peace V
