worker in the Library Association is now a life member of the Eastern Star 
Lodge, and has been during her life an active worker in the Aid Society of the 
Methodist Episcopal Church of which she has been a member since early life.  
She liked to read and when not busy about other activities could be found 
enjoying a book or magazine.

She has been in failing health for the past two years and slipped quietly from 
her earthly life on Saturday, October 1st, 1938 at the home of her son in 
Hubbardston after 82 years, 10 months and 18 days of activity.  Her husband
