VIENNA
Miss Effie Hall

Miss Ellie Hall, eldest daughter of
Mrs. Wallace Sanborn by former
marriage, passed away at the Sis
tcrs' hospital recently. She was a
native of Vienna and made her home
with her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hiram Whittier of that town.
She was a young lady of a very
pleasing personality and had many
friends. as the many floral tributes
testified to her popularity. She was
graduated from the schools of Vien-
ma, also from New Sharon High
school, and had taught for time
in her home. Her passing out will
be keenly felt in this community, as
she was ever ready to help others
and her young life was an inspiration
to all with whom she was intimate
ly associated. Much sympathy is
expressed for her mother, Mrs. Wal
lace Sanborn, and her aged grind
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Whittier.
Her kindly deeds and thoughtful
mes for both old and young will long
be remembered by people of Vienna
and by others who were fortunate
enough to have known her. Miss
Hall celebrated her 22nd birthday on
April 18th. A formal announcement
of her engagement was about to be
made to Robert B. Austin Jr. of Co.
lumbia University, N. Y. City. 1t
can but be felt that when a great
soul dies, for years beyond the ken,
the light it leaves behind it lies up
on the paths of men.
