MRS. HARRIET BARTLETT.


After an illness appreciably in
creasing through many years, termi-
mating in paralysis, Mrs. Harriet Bart
lett, widow of the late DR.. Edward H..
Bartlett, entered that rest open to the
day night, May 7th, 1921. But few
ladies born and reared within the
bounds of Garrett county were more
widely known and more fondly regard
ed than was the subject of this i'm
perfect sketch, and fewer still whose
passing will take more poignant re-
greet to more homes. With health
full constitution and a CHEEKY temper
ament the measure of her days eX-
ceeded that allotted by the inspired
Psalmist to our mortality. She was
daughter of the late Richard Fair
all and was born March 2Sth, 1871, in
the town of Selbysport, in that day a
part of Allegany county, Maryland.
Subsequently the family located in the
town of Accident, east of Selbysport,
and there in that fertile valley, par
allelled by lofty mountain ranges was
the morning Of her girlhCod life. She
developed into flower OF grace and
beauty in the fresh salubrity of air
from towering peaks about her. At
the cessation of hostilities after the
war between the States, she became
the second wife of DIR. Edward H.
Bartlett, and the couple founded their
future home, of a long and devoted
married life, in Oakland, Maryland.
Assuming the duties of the head of a
family, Mrs. Bartlett was confirmed
as member of the Protestant Epis-
copal church, and to the end of her
life faithfully served and trained her
children in that anciently established
faith. She leaves to mourn loss ir-
reparably, six children, namely: Miss
Carrie, DR.. Richard F. Bartlett, Mrs.
James l.. Pollock, Mr.. Harper Bart
lett, Mrs. Arthur Y. limbaugh and
Miss Helen Bartlett, and the following
brothers and sisters: DR.. T. E. Fair
all, of Tecumseh, Nebraska; Mrs. NJ.
E. Dunlap and Mrs. Virginia Fairall,
of Washington, D. c. Human solicita-
ton could plead to the Father for no
happier hour in which to end this long
pilgrimage. In the hush of the night
of the fresh season of spring, unfold
ing leaves and blooming flowers sweet
in dew verging on a cloudless Sun
day morning, a day divinely appointed
for rest from the world, her eyes
| peacefully closed to open where an up
ward finger points to that surprising
comfort: These are they which came
out of great tribulation and have
washed their robes, and made them
white, in the blood of the Lamb"
Mrs. Bartlett's remains were laid
n nct Iv,f ha oh, ~
thew's church on Tuesday morning
after an impressive service conducted
by the rector, the Rev. William F
Bayle. A FRIEND.
