ELIZABETH DOOLING

     Elizabeth "Bessie" (Bonvie) Dooling, 96, died on November 3, 2004 in
Coos County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown.
     Mrs. Dooling was born in Trackadie, Nova Scotia, to the late Simon and
Bridget (Pereau) Bonvie. She was the wife for 31 years of the late Joseph
Dooling, who predeceased her in 1964. She was a resident of Wellesley,
Mass. since 1926, and moved to New Hampshire in 1997.
     Mrs. Dooling's family say she loved to make people laugh and was
instantly loved by everyone with whom she came in contact. If everyone had
a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother like her, the world would be a
better place.
     She is survived by her daughter, Geraldine "Gerry" Britt of Pittsburg;
four grandchildren; three great-granddaughters; and many nieces and
nephews.
     A funeral service was held on Friday, November 5 at the Henry J. Burke
& Sons Funeral Home in Wellesley Hills, Mass. and interment was in St.
Mary's Cemetery, Needham. Donations in Mrs. Dooling's memory may be made to
the Coos County Nursing Hospital, PO Box 10, West Stewartstown, NH 03597.

ANTHONY PALERMO, JR.

     Mr. Anthony Palermo, Jr., 77, of Colebrook, died on Wednesday evening,
November 3, 2004 at the Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital.
     Mr. Palermo was born on June 1, 1927 in Danbury, Conn., son of the
late Anthony Palermo Sr. and Theresa (Tambone) Palermo.
     Mr. Palermo was married to Carolyn (Piskura) Palermo in 1950, and
shortly thereafter joined the Army. He was honorably discharged after a
year of service to return home to help his family. He owned and operated an
asphalt driveway service for 15 years, and then worked for the Public Works
Department for the City of Danbury until his retirement at the age of 65.
He loved to fish and hunt, and it was his enjoyment of the outdoors that
brought him to Colebrook and led to the building of his East Colebrook Road
home with friends.
     Mr. Palermo is survived by his wife of 54 years, Carolyn Palermo of
Colebrook; two sons, Anthony Palermo III of Colebrook and Paul Palermo of
Bonner, Mont.; his daughter, Mary Montesi and husband Eugene of Danbury; a
granddaughter and three step-grandchildren.
