OBITUARY.
Mrs. Hattie Maine Duro.
 (Contributed.)

While words almost fail to express the deep grief and intense sorrow felt by the many friends of Mrs. Hattie Maine Duro because of her death, which occurred OH the evening of May 4, 1918. at her home on the East Side, yet it seems only meet that a friend should pen a few words on such a useful life, which was indeed one round of helpful, kindly service for others
 During the many months of i'll health, even in the midst of most ex- crutiating pain, she bore her suffer 1 ing with rare patience and Christian | meekness.
 When in the quietness of the even 1 tide shadows, the heavenly summons came to her, we can but feel that 1 "her suffering ended with the day; i she passed through Glory's morning gate, to walk in Paradise" ! Mrs. Duro. was born in Ledyard l Conn, forty-two years ago, the youngest daughter of the late Amasa l for several years previous to her marriage with Edward J. Duro on Jan. 6, 1896. Since her marriage she | has always resided in Norwich, where l she has made a wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
 Mrs. Duro was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to neighbors and friends or to any who needed help and sympathy. She was especially tender-hearted to the poor 1 and needy. and often, as opportunity arose, became. a personal friend to 1 them. Modest and quiet in her man ner and disposition. she performed
 deeds of charity and service in the same humble way, and they were of ten unknown by those outside of her family. They are lasting memor- ial, and the incense arising from such
 a noble life will still live on and scat ter it's fragrance in the hearts of those who knew her best.
