No matter how famous and how grown-up people get, they do not ever get over the call of home-and the desire to get back to mothers.
 Just because of this, Birmingham Is smiling indulgently that Senator and Mrs. Oscar Underwood missed the parade entirely yesterday be- cause they were 90 anxious to hurry home to see Senator Underwoods mother, Mrs. Virginia Underwood and the senator went right to her welcoming as soon as the Birming- ham train came in from Washington,
 The senator and his wife were not expecting the parade to start so soon and SO rushed off in big machine Birmingham welcomcrs thus missed them entirely.
 Mrs Underwood went to her moth CTS home. Mrs. J. H. Woodward.
 The two did not rejoin the presi- dential party until after the parade. when Mfr. and Mrs. Harding reviewed theN thronEs from the balcony of the Tutwiler hotel.

whose death occurred at the hospital in
Belfast. Mrs. Sturtevant was horn in
Island Falls 20 years ago, the daughter of
William and the late Elizabeth Carson.
Her early life was spent in this town.
where she received her education in the
village schools, graduating from the Is
land Falls High school in the class of
1914. Later she attended the Aroostook
Normal school, where she was graduated
in 1917. She was very successful teach

Washburn, later in Old Town and Brooks,
Myrtle was girl possessing particular
ly sunny disposition and pleasing per-
sonality, making her favorite with all
her associates. In December, 1919, she
was married to Walter Sturtevant of
Milo, and although their married life was
comparatively short it was very happy
one. The first of July she entered the
Belfast hospital and on July 9th baby
girl was born to them. She made very
rapid recovery and on Friday, July 22nd,
Mr. Sturtevant came to take her to their
home, when she was taken suddenly ill
and only lived few hours. Word was
at once sent to relatives here and her
father, William Carson, and two sisters,
Mrs. Nellie Berry of this town and Mrs.
Pearl Lovely cf Houlton started for Bel
fast, but did not reach there till after she
expired.
The remains were brought here Mon
day and funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at the home of her sister.
after which the body was taken to Milo
for burial. MIR. Sturtevant's parents,
brother and two sisters from Milo were
present at the service. There were also
present five members of the class of
1914, l. F. H. S., and one of the class of
1917, A. S. N. S. In the absence of Rev.
7. B. HIATT, pastor of the. Congregational
church of which the deceased was a
member, Rev. W. P. Richardson con-
Quoted the services, reading several COM
forting passages of Scripture and making
very helpful remarks. Besides the rela-
tives already mentioned she leaves an in
FAINT daughter and one brother, Warren
Carson, of this town. There were very
many beautiful floral offerings.
