Mrs. Cullen SuCCumbS
Light Shoe Room Forelady Dies
in Maiden.

Despite last minute operation
and a fourth TRANSMISSION of blood
Mrs. L. E. Cullen, former fore
lady of the Light Shoe Making
Department, died in Massachusetts
General Hospital, Boston, last Thurs
day morning. She was buried from
her home in Maiden on Saturday
Mrs. Cullen had been i'll for some
time, and gave up her position here
several weeks ago, in hopes that
rest might improve her condition.
No one suspected at that time that
her ailments were of a serious ma
ture at all, however and the news
that she had been taken to the
hospital and undergone several OPP
erations come as a distinct shock to
her many friends here. Mr.. H. B.
Smith, our employment manager,
went to Boston two weeks ago, and
was the last one from here to see
her alive.
She had long life in the rubber
footwear industry, and started to
make shoes at very early age. She
had been employed in most of the
larger footwear plants in New Eng
land, and came to Lambertville from
the Converse Rubber Shoe Co. in /
Maiden, where her husband is now
employed in the mill room Her fun
eral was testimony to her character |
and personality. From each of the
places where she had worked came
huge floral tributes, and throngs
of her fellow workers filled house
and church, nearly thousand |
strong.
Mrs. Lena Robertson and Mr.. H.
B. Smith, represented her Lam
bertville friends and the Rubber
Company, and endeavored to ex-
press to her husband and family the |
sympathy and sense of bereavement |
which we all feel.
We attach a clipping from the
Maiden News" which gives more
complete account. of the details.

held by her many friends. Among
