Dor and was loved by all who knew her.

Buck, and two grandchildren, Mrs. Alex
Beaton of Ryegate and Mrs. Howard Ed

A peculiar incident has come to the
notice of your correspondent, showing
the affection of dumb animals. We read
of such occurrences, but not often do
they come so near home. The late Mrs.
Cecilia Mills had black collie dog,
whose name was Trouble, which was the
almost inseparable companion of its mis-
tress. The morning of Mrs. Mills death,
they had to carry the dog from the room.
The animal moaned and utterly refused
to eat, finally dying of grief on the Sat
urday night following its mistress death.

Mrs. Mills at East Roxbury Sunday |
