TOWN SHEND.
Mrs. Joseph Mexican.

This community was greatly sadden-
ed by the news received on Wednes-
day evening of the death of Mrs. Ida
Mexican, wife of a former pastor here,
Rev. Joseph Mexican, at her home in
the Baptist parsonage in West Towns
end, Mass. News received from Mr..
Mexican Tuesday stated that she sus-
tanned a shock Monday and that her
condition was serious. Hopes were en-
tertained, however, of her recovery
but she did not rally, the end coming
about 3.15 Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Mexican was a woman of rare
sweetness and strength of character,
forming and keeping many close
friends in every community. She was
an ideal wife Of a pastor, sympathet-
ie, cheerful and helpful to all, doing
more than her full share in the social
as we'll as the religious duties of the
church. The gift of hospitality was
almost the keynote of her nature. In
this village as a worker in the women s
societies, as a teacher in the Sunday
school. as a neighbor and friend, she
exerted an influence which will long be
| felt.
The family moved from this place to
West Townsend, Mass, in August Of
last year, Mrs Mexican expressing
many regrets at leaving. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Mexican have kept in close touch
with friends here by correspondence
since that time.
The funeral service will be held IN
West Townsend Friday afternoon and
the burial will take place in Spring
field, Mass.
Besides her husband, Mrs. Mexican
leaves two daughters, Miss Georgiana
Mexican, teacher in the Canal street
school in BrattIeboro, who IS at home
just now for the Easter vacation, and
