1t is with sadness we announce the
death of Mrs. Ada King Downer at
the home of her brother, Geo. King,
Sunday evening, Aug. %. Ada King
was born in Dalton, N. H., Nov. 81,
1875, youngest daughter of Richard
and Lucy Emery King. When very
young her parents moved to this place
and she had been a resident here I'M
til within the past few years. About
20 years ago she married Thomas
Downer of Lunenburg, one child was
born to them who died in infancy,
but nearly all her married life was
spent with her parents as they were
in poor health. Mr.. and Mrs. Dow
ner lived with them in less than two
months time in 1913. Mrs. Downer
buried her father, mother and hus-
band. Since that time she had worked
out most of the time, working for
Fred Cole and Mr.. Fox at st. Johns
bury for the past four years until her
health gave out. Everything was
done for her that could be. She con-
suited the best doctors in st. Johns
bury going from there to Boston but
could get no help, her disease being
cancer of the throat. Upon her re-
turn from Boston she came to the
home of her brother where loving
hands did everything possible for her
comfort, Mrs. King taking the whole
care of her until a few days before
her death, when Miss Sadie Hooker
from st. Johnsbury was engaged to
care for her.
1t seems very sad that one in the
prime of life and one who was res
pected and loved by all who knew
her should be taken so early in life,
although we know not why, some
time VII understand.
The funeral services were held at
the NJ. Z. church Wednesday, Rev.
Glenn W. Douglas officiating. How
