Mrs. John S. Hendee

Cornelia Ellen Hendee, widow ot
the late John S. Hendee, passed away
at her home on State street Sunday
afternoon.
She was born in Bowdinham, the
only child of Robert and Ellen Spear
After attending the schools of her
native town she went to a boarding
school for girls in Ipswich, Mass, and
then to the well known Miss Hinck-
1ey's School in Brunswick. For a
short time after her marriage to Mr.
Hendee they lived in Pittsford. VT,
and then came to Augusta about six
ty five years ago.
Mr.. Hendee was skillful photo
grapher and established here n studio
of wide reputation. The pictures of
many Augustans and Of many legis-
lators and public officials of the two
generations preceding this bear his
name.
Within few years after they came
Mr.. Hendee purchased the house on
State street which for almost sixty
years has been the family house, in
which happy, useful lives have been
lived. They won a wide circle of
friends. Their home was a part of
that excellent social life in Augusta
OF their day, in which were many
names of prominence and about
which those who shared its experien-
ces always loved to tell.
Mrs. Hendee was a good wife and
mother. During her long life she was
blessed with good health. But a few
years ago she met with the lost OF a
much beloved son. His loss she felt
most keenly and her friends could
see its serious effect upon her. Her
strong vitality began to wane. Two
weeks ago came a stroke, soon to be
followed by another, which cut the
thread OF life. She will always be
kindly remembered by those friends
Of earlier years, who still remain, and
by all who came to know her.
She IL survived by son, Edwin c.
Hendee Of Augusta, by a grandson.
Or. Walter W. Hendee Of Vassalboro
and by q granddaughter. Miss Anna
C. Hendee OF Augusta.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later.

HOLY NAME men OF
|. ST, MARY'S CHURCH
RENEW Their PLEDGE

Called together in special meeting
to renew their pledge to keep invio-
late the name of Jesus, over hum
dred men, members of the Holy Name
society of st. Mary's church were
present in st. Mary's hall Sunday at
ternoon.
The gathering was presided over
by Rev. j. r. MCGOWAN, curate of st.
Mary's who stated the purpose of the
meeting included besides the pledge
renewal, discussion of the plans for
the coming year. paramount among
which will be the observance OF the
650th anniversary OF the founding or
the Holy Name society, which falls
on Sept. 81, 1924. Tentative plans
were talked over and the suggestion
made that the local society's obser-
vance would consist Of Holy Com
munion in a body in the morning, q
parade in the afternoon and a BAN
uuet at the Augusta House In the
evening.
It was also suggested that the Hall
DWELL and Gardiner societies be. In
yited to take part in the parade and
the banquet in which event, the aug
mented number would necesSitate
City Hall for the banquet.
Rev. Father MCGOWAN read letter
from Bishop Walsh. IN which plan
was outlined for the merging of the
Holy Name society with the Mems
National Catholic Council, but still
retaining the local organization. Fur
Their details of the plan will be learn
ed at the next meeting.
The meeting was opened in novel
manner when members of st. Mary s
drum CORPS marched down the center
aisle of the hall and assembled on the
stage where the salute to the flag was
given followed by patriotic poem or
five stanzas with a different boy for
each stanza. Singing of America
followed, the entire gathering stand
ing and joining in. Father MCGOWAN
then addressed the men on the order
and what it stands for and this was
followed by an informal smoker.
Preceding the meeting the men at
tended benediction in the church and
heard Father MCGOWAN in stirring
sermon on the Holy Name society
and what it means to Catholic men
and boys. He spoke of the dominant
principle which it stands for. not 10
take the name of Jesus in vain and
pointed out that n Holy Name man
will also carry on the work of dis
couraging profanity among his bust
ness and social associates. Father
MCGOWAN deplored the modern ten
dency of some groups and individuals
ir the controversy that is now going
on. He called his hearers attention
to the manv foundations and pitfalls
that beset the path of Young men AND
women TODAY and urged that Catholic
men old and young make themselves
apostles in guiding right fellow man
on the path of life. Holy Name men,
he said in conclusion, should be good,
God fearing and clean-livinS men.
