 On Tuesday, March 8, the sudden of Miss Helen Louise Comager, of tu- berculosis at the Norwich Sanatorium came as distinct shock to her many valued companion for l3 years of Deacon and Mrs. William c. Smith of Franklin, Miss Comager exhibited un- usual traits of piety and viyacity com- bined with capabitity and a fine tal- ent of song. A
 ] As an assistant treasurer she was known for her integrity, carefulness and business method. AS friend to l the girls of her own age she was 8 delightful companion, genial, jolly, 1 true as .steel, pure minded and un- tainted by any wrong thought or con- l eeption. A wide reader, intelligent, open minded, sensible, she was al-
 ways interesting in conversation, far above the average.
 Tn the Congregational church of which she was a member, she had Hong been a faithful attendant. mak- ing herself useful in modest and unobstrusive manner, yet always
 ready to help. In the home she was all that young woman ought to be;
 sweet cheerful prayerful, industrious, I room and parlor among the choicest guests, with kind word for every lone, thinking always of others before herself; her loss is not easily to be estimated. She was a girl greatly beloved and is and will be greatly missed.
