done by Mr.. Scott, how he had help
ed the church in its work, also of the
good time made possible only by his
help and also of the hundreds of lit
tie children that would have no
Christmas in the many countries in
volved in this great cruel war.
A vote of thanks was given Mr.
Scott by all rising and joining in
prayer for him This was followed
by songs and readings by the child

Mrs. Helen NJ Smith Of Hinekley,
Maine, suffered a paralytic shock the
afternoon of Christmas day and lived
but a few hours She had been in
failing health for long time, having
had a severe illness thirteen years
ago, which resulted in prostration of
the nervous system. She partially
recovered from this and for several
do no sewing or anything of that ma
ture because of the condition of the
nerves in her arms and hands; con-
sequently when she became too FEEL
bic to walk about much she could do
nothing to occupy her time, and her
mind became affected. The past Two
years she has been great sufferer
mentally. She was born in Madison,
July 16, 1882, the daughter of Joseph
and Cynthia Blackwell Holway. She
was a refined well educated woman,
having been a school teacher in her
g.rlhood days. She was the wife OF
the late Nathaniel l.. Smith of Corn
vile and all of her married life was
passed in that town. Shortly after
the death of her husband which oc-
Cured March 16 1894, the family
moved to Hinckley, which has been
her home for % years. A woman OF
deep sympathies she was a most low
ing mother and friend to ALL hay
ing been known as "Grammie" to
young and old in the community. Her
sudden death came as shock to all.
The 23rd of October she went to
Jones Private San.tarium at Union,
Maine, to be under DR.. II. II. Plum
mer's care for a few weeks, hoping
that she might receive help. She
realized her condition and prayed
that she might be taken from this
life. She leaves one daughter Mrs.
Melvin Palmer. with whom she made
her home and by whom she was Civ
en- loving care. Two children
Charlie Walter and little Louise died
in infancy. Her death coming at
this time was particularly hard for
the family as word had been received
that she was much better, and she
was coming home Christmas week.
Besides the daughter mentioned she
leaves one grandson Earle NJ. 5,
Palmer of Hinckley, two brothers
Horace n. and Charles +. Holway of
Madison and one sister Mrs. Amanda
B. Smith of Oakland. The funeral
was held at her late home Friday
morning Rev. G.. w. Hinckley Of

music and flowers and the beautiful
hymns sung at the service and the
floral offerings were most appropri-
ate. The remains were taken to the
family lot in Cornville for burial.
