Seldom has our community been
grieved as by the death of Abbie W.,
daughter of Hermon D. and Lucy
(Easterbrooks) Chapman. She was
born in Sutton March 80, 1888, and
her girlhood was spent here where
she attended school, until at the age
of "A she entered Lyndon Institute
and graduated at the end of four
years, having made friends of all her
associates who wished her we'll in
her future years. After a year of
successful teaching, her desire to
do the greatest good prompted her to
choose the vocation for which she was
SO eminently fitted, that of nurse.
She entered Mary Fletcher Hospital
in Burlington in 1911 where she re-
manned the three years allotted to

the sick and distressed and refusing
many high and lucrative positions

ones, and it seems especially fitting
that one who has lived such a pure
and beautiful life, and who was so
liked and had always
given so much for others should
have more than passing mention.
Helpful in every way to all she
met, of happy, cheerful nature, the
smile with which she was born fol-
lowed her through life, shedding it's
brightness over the sick and afflicted. |
Her chief delight was in making
others happy, with never though hit
of self, no matter how dangerous the
case. Many are the homes she has |
frightened with her presence, many |
are the sufferers to whom she has |
and many are the hearts |
in which her memory will live while |
life shall last.
Funeral services were held at the |
church Thursday, conducted by Rev.
J. J. Hutchinson of Lyndonville, as
