The Late Mrs. w. o. Paul

AS commented upon last week, the
death of Mrs. Lovina McIntire Paul,
occurred in Scion after a three weeks
illness with septic pneumonia. While
Mrs. Pauls death has grieyed count
less friends in different Somerset
County towns, II has entered with al
most q tragic blow into her family
circle. Beside her husband, w. o..
Paul, a well known farmer of South
Scion, there are three surviving
children. Ernest l.. Paul, a grocer
OF Solon village; Bert w. Paul, a
farmer at home, and Miss Bertha l..
Paul, a school teacher. we'll known
for her success in this vocation. 1t
is seldom that relations are more
tender than these between Mrs. Paul
and members of her family circle
and never has any mother been more
reyered than was the deceased by her
children. While her home was the
center of her devotions her activities
were extended in many directions for
the benefit of those about her. Many
years ago she affiliated with the Con-
gregational Church at East Madison
and she was likewise a charter mem
her of the Grange, at East Madison,
the meetings of which she attended
with regularity. She was also a
member Of Somerset Pomona Grange
and her work among the young peo
pie was evident in the achievements
of the boys and girls agricultural
clubs In her home neighborhood.
Although native of Bingham
where she Was born, Odto1er 30,
1855, she moved with her parents.
the late Heman and Basha (Lang
ley McIntire, to Athens in early life.
1t was there she attended the public
schools and Somerset Academy. Mrs
Paul was one Of the most interested
members of the Somerset Academy
Alumni Association and had served
as an officer in that organization.
From these affiliations something may
be gained of the real value and help
fulness which Mrs. Paul was in the
community. Her generosity to those
about her and the sweet, pure affec-
ton which she bore her family are
all worthy of emulation and must be
not only a comfort but a wonderful
example for those with whom she
came In contact. Her memorial SER
vices were conducted from the fam
lily residence on Friday and Rev. T.
B. HIATT of Island Falls, former
pastor and respected friend officiated
Interment was in the Southside Gem
