be the incurable malady, Bright's disease.
Ihe demise, which was painless, came in
the presence of her sorrowing husband,
three sons and daughter-in-law, three
grandchildren, and three sisters and a
brother, her aged father being absent.

w. l.. Pratt, pastor of the Baptist church
at Rockland, assisted by Mr.. F. F. Phil

tributes were beautiful and touching
reminders of her life Of graces and
benefactions. The people of the towns
OF Appleton, Liberty, Montville and
Searsmont thronged the goodly Adams
homestead, to take last look at the
earth form of the deceased, and to pay
tribute to her memory, her devotion to
I her home, husband, family and the COM
munity. Mrs Adams was born Oct 8,
1864, and was married to Mr. Adams Oct
TO- 1884, having since lived at South
Montville, where her children and grand
children were born. Soon after her mar
mage she became member of the Free
| Baptist church at South Montville, in
which her activities in word and deed
were ever those of true, consistent and
exemplary Christian Modest in profess
sion, she in quiet and constant devotion
made radiant the unfailing worth of piety
Earth can but pronounce such life
blessed, Heaven can but welcome it,
when its earthly mission is ended-no
not that-croWned. In the Eastern Star
/ the Grange and Ladies' Circle she will be
equally missed and cherished in memory
That memory to husband, sons, grand
children, and all of her dear kindred,
will prompt them to turn from the grief
that looks into an open grave even unto
that which looks unto the stars of heaven
She lived for them. She tried to have
them think she was to live longer, but
said, ''We are in Gods hands ''-F. F, P
