A year later she graduated from the Springfield business college, after which she entered the employ of Ra wiser, now the Fabyan Woolen company, as stenographer and book. keeper to which position she gave IT years of most faithful service and was esteemed by all her associates. Her genial smile and cheerful man. ner ever gladdened the hearts of all who knew her, and throughout Stafford township will be felt the keen loss of her warm friendship and good will. The sympathy of the oom- munity goes out to her sister, Mrs. A. O. Comins, and her four surviving brothers, John, William, James and Edward. The funeral was largely attended at St. Edwards church Tues day morning at 9.30, when a solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated by Rev. Felix J. O'Neil. Rev. Edward A.
