Obituary

The funeral of Mrs. J. Ann CTorrey)
Kendall, daughter OF Il, NJ. and Cor
nelia A. (Buffum) Torrey, was held at
the home of her brother Luther p.
Torrey, in East Dorset, July 18th,
1916. Rev. w. A. Mcintyre of Dandy,
oficiated, and the interment was in the
family plot in the South Village.
Mrs. Kendall had a teachers train
ing and was engaged in that work to
the time Of her marriage to B. A. Ken
dali of Wardsboro, on Dec. 8, 1883.
She lived her married life in Grand
Harbor and Devils Lake, North Da-
kota, coming east in 1900.
For the past 13 years Mrs. Kendall
had lived in Troy, N. Y, teaching and
working as stenographer, holding a
position at the time of her illness in
the state department at Albany.
She leaves two sons, Torrey Ken
dali, one of the young business men of
Troy, N. Y, and George Elijah Ken
dali, who recently received degree
from the Albany Normal College, fol-
lowing three years in Clark Univer-
sity, Worcester, Mass, also of Troy,
N. Y.
Although timid by nature and never
robust, still Mrs. Kendall had her
ideals of what young manhood should |
be like, and became unconscious of
herself in rearing the monuments she
has left behind.
We cannot stay oru feet
Because of falls,
We cannot stay our lives
Because of death;
But we can live our lives
As Duty calls,
And unto a just God
Consign the rest.
