 The news of the death in Vest Woodstock of Mrs. Sarah Spicer Slingsby, wife of Stephen Slingsby, brought tender sorrow and the memory of many happy, peaceful, useful years to old friends here. Living on the pretty farm between South Wilmington and the Hill she attended all the church services, Sunday and midweek, at both places, being one of the most active and interested in all phases of the church work. She was not only a devoted Christian, but had superior intellect, holding intelligent and views upon all matters of interest. The world is poorer for her departure, but the influence for good of so strong a character will live on Her family have the sympathy of the friends here. Personally, for her long and loyal friendship. we are and grateful that it lasted until the sunset of life.
