night after a lingering illness, during
which she suffered greatly at times. She
was a woman of rare mental attainments,
a student all her life, with a retentive
me mory and a fund of anecdotes, and
unfailing wit, and was good company for
all who entered her presence. She was
librarian of the public library several
years. She was regular attendant of
the Methodist church and teacher in
the Sunday school while her health per-
mitted. She was devoted member and
a past noble grand of Mizpah Rebekah
Lodge Although a native of Stockton
she was united in marriage to Captain
Thayer while young girl, so that many
years of her 81 milestones have been
passed in this community. Besides her
husband she leaves two daughters, Miss
Belle F. Thayer of Salem, Mass, and
Miss Margaret 1hayer, who lives at their
home on Main street, who has been most
devoted, patient and untiring in her min
istrations to her mother. She also left
sister, Mrs. Annie Tainter, of this village.
The funeral services will be held Tuesday
afternoon at the Methodist church and
the Rebekahs are requested to attend in
body.
