Mrs. Mary Coe. widow of the late

home of her daughter, Mrs. John Fly
Ter, last Friday night.
Mary McNeal was born in Sutton,
and was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob McNeal. She is the last
of family of five children and al
| though a native of q neighboring
town. most of her life has been spent
| in Burke. She married Dana Coe,
and to them two daughters, Kate and
Bertha, were born. The Coe home is
one of the town landmarks and prob
ably holds more relics of the past
generations than any other house in
town. Its doors have always been
| open to welcome guests and many
friends, both far and near, will re-
call with pleasure the days spent be-
meath it's hospitable roof
When their youngest daughter,
Bertha, was married to John Fyler, a
descendant of another old family,
they took over the home, but Mr..
and Mrs. Coe have been very i'm
portant part of the home life, and it
would be hard to find more peace
full and happy old age than theirs has
been. Each summer they have spent
few weeks with their other daugh-
ter, Mrs. Perley Johnson, of Newport,
N. H., which has made a pleasant
break in their quiet lives. They loved
their home with it's surrounding hills,
it's view of old Burke mountain and
and they grew old as the trees and
flowers do, content with their lot and
finding enjoyment and comfort in the
little happenings of every day.
Mrs. Coe was 81 years of age but
was well and active and had taken
care of her room as usual Friday
| morning. She talked with a friend
| on the telephone about 3 o'clock and
was sewing when she was stricken
| by very severe shock little later
| in the afternoon. She did not regain
| consciousness and slipped peacefully
| into the great beyond just at mid
| night. Mr.. Coe died late in Novem-
Der, so these two, who had journeyed
| together for so many years, were not
long separated. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon at the Fly
Ter home and she was laid to rest be-
I side her husband in the old Burke
/, Green cemetery.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs.
Kate johnson of Newport, N. H., and
Mrs. Bertha Fyler of Burke and four
grandchildren. Carroll and Margaret
Johnson, and Marjorie and Clara Fy-
| Ter. She was sweet and gentle lady
and will be missed sadly in the home,
and by all who knew and loved her.
