MRS. ABBIE MILES.
After long months of suspense and
suffering beyond the knowledge of
man to impart to others, the Death
A 10 i
worn body of Abbie Miles, wife of
Rufus Miles, on the morning of Feb
%. Her illness from which there
was no possible chance of recovery,
began something more than two years
ago and had been abated by the
skilled hands of physicians, but the
dread finger of death had marked her
for his victim and all hope of recov-
cry became forlorn hope in the fall
months of 1916. She was of a strong
personality, both in her home and in
the church where she was always to
be depended upon as long as her
health permitted, being a member of
the Methodist church for many years.
Abbie Greaves was born in Crafts
bury in January, 1857, daughter of
Richard and Lucy Ann (Bickford)
Greaves and became the wife of Rufus
Miles the summer of 1878. They
have always lived on the Miles farm,
on the River road, where two children
were born to them, Frank, who lives
at the same home, and Effie, who was
before her mothers illness, one of the
teachers in the village school, which
she resigned that she might devote
her whole energy to her mothers
needs. A nurse has also been in at
tendance many weeks, and the whole
family have devoted themselves con-
tlnually to the wants and assistance
of their loved one. Besides her son
and daughter she leaves her husband,
her sons wife and two small grand
daughters. She will be very much
missed in the neighborhood in which
she lived, ever ready to do some kind
act and go herself to many sick bed
IN the years past, but now her hands
lie idle, her watchful eyes are closed.
The Lord had need of her and took
her to Himself. The going out was
quiet and peaceful. The funeral was
held at the home Sunday, Rev. I. P.
Chase officiating, taking for his text,
Rom. S-1S, "The sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall
be revealed in u.s." The family have

We wish to thank the neighbors
and friends who so kindly assisted in
the sickness and burial of our loved
one.
