The Portland Observer, Wednesday, April 26, 1893

Mrs. Ray Dean (known to our readers as Mary Barnard) died at her home in this 
village on Tuesday afternoon last, aged 57 years.  Deceased has been under the 
doctor’s care for a long time, but had been confined to the house and bed but 
a couple of weeks prior to her death.

During her last sickness she was constantly and faithfully cared for and 
tenderly nursed by the neighbors, particularly by Mrs. G. M. Morse and Mrs. 
Lansing Tracy, but who were assisted by other kind-hearted neighbors who gave 
their time willingly and voluntarily, she having no relatives in this country 
that she was aware of, and no friends in the village.

She was a native of Ireland, having come to this country, when she was 16 
years of age, with an aunt.  In Ireland she resided in the same town as did 
the people of Nightwatchman James Cummiskey, but this fact was not known to 
him until it was brought out in a conversation with the deceased a few years 
ago.

The funeral services were conducted from her late residence on Grant street on 
Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Goodell officiating.  Deceased left a small estate 
in real and personal property.
