spent in Montville where she acquired
superior education for those days, and be-
came successful teacher i'll the schools
in that and surrounding towns. In the
early sixties she accompanied her fan lily
to Fort Fairfield where they underwent
many of the hardshps of pioneer life and
assisted in developing the resources of

her vocation of teaching until her mar
riage, in March 1868, to Joseph B. Rob-
bins of the same town and they made
their home on the Foster homestead. Four
daughters came to bless this congenlal
union, two of whom died in childhood,
within two weeks time. Although dark
ened by the shadow of their deep sorrow,
yet theirs was an especially happy home
in which the welcome guest found abund-
! ant hospitality and the needy found aid.

ing the few years of her residence in this
town she endeared herself to large circle
of friends who will remember her kindly
deeds and cherish her memory. Two
daughters survive, Mrs. B. G. Ames of
Orono, and the one mentioned above,
Mrs. Wellman, who has faithfully per-
| formed a daughters duty, giving her
mother the tenderest care in her last ILL

man, former friend of the deceased, Of
