 Much sympathy is felt in our will I lage for Mrs. Walter Bates in the loss | by death of her young son, four years old.

Green, wife of Cliff | ford Green, died at her home in Quadic district last Friday morning, | after an illness of two weeks, begin ming with severe cold, which soon 1 developed into pneumonia. Mrs. l Green was the daughter of the late Allen T. and Emily Mills Babbitt. | Her father lived in our village a | number of years before his death, en- | gagged in his profession of a carpen- l ter. Her mother having died when | she was very young, she was nurtured and cared for by her grandparents,
 the late Frederick and Maria Cady 1 Mills, in their home, which after their | death became her own home and the | house in which she died was the one | in which she was born. Mrs. Green in her young days was constant attendant at Sunday school and church services of the Congregational church in Thompson, | uniting with the church in 1887 be- | ing one of several of class of ladies | who were baptized at the same time, | it being at a time soon after the min istry of Marcus Ames, which termin- ated in March by the sudden illness of MT. Ames, the pulpit being special ly supplied at the time for the bap- tismal service. Mrs. Green retained her interest in the church by her at tendance at it's services for several years after her uniting with it, and until her marriage to MT Green, af- ter which her household duties be- came such as to deprive her of many of the opportunities and pleasures in life which she had found enjoyment in in earlier years.
