brother, Daniel Cushman of Old

Mrs Heald: For nearly half a
century the figure of Mrs. Heald
has been a familiar one in the
neighborhood in which she passed
away, and only by those who have
most profited by her kindly and
practical sympathy can Mrs. Heald
be best appreciated. OF an unas-

ness has been of the sort little
known to the general public, but
none the less helpful and appreci-
ated by it's recipients"
