Stone survive her. She is also survived by her mother, Mrs. Lillian Steele, now of Manchester, K. and six brothers and four sisters. Mrs.

Stone was ill only a short time with the grip, and compli cations of the stomach, from which she was not able to rally. "She was a mem ber of the N. E. O. and of the congre gation of the Methodist church, her pas tor Rev.

T. M. Frost officiating at her funeral, which was held from her home February 2. The bearers were her five brothers: Robert, Alexander, Charlie, George and Frank Steele. Tbe otber brother, John, is in the south.

Among the floral offerings were violets from her brother's wife in Concord, N. a pillow bearing the word "Mother" from tbe family; 41 white roses from her sisters, indicating her age; an anchor from tbe brothers; a star from the N. E. O. a garland of pink and white carnations from her brother Alexander; a garland of white lilies from her brother Frank; and a garland of pink carnations from her brother Charles.

Mrs. Stone was a devoted wife and mother, and one who was always willing to lend ber assistance wherever it was needed. Always of a sunny and cheerful disposition, she will be greatly missed among ber friends, and her relation to ber home is best expressed in the following: We miss the from onr home, dear, We miss thee from thy place, A shadow o'er our life is cast, We miss the sunshine of thy face. We miss thy kind and willing hand, Thy fond and earnest care. Our home is dark without thee, We miss thee everywhere.

in tbe class of '03, died at his home in New Dorchester, Fri day evening, after a two weeks illness of the grip, followed by pneumonia, which developed into rheumatism of the heart. Mr. Forbes was employed on the Bos ton Transcript, which position be lelt to take his college preparatory course here. His vacations were spent in working for different newspapers in Boston, and among his coworkers he had achieved a reputation of being one of the brightest and most promising young writers in the city. He was prominent in college cir cles, being identified wr.n the school newspaper, tbe glee club, and the Delta Kappa bpsilon fraternity.

While in St. Johnsbury he was identified with the choir and Sunday school of the Episcopal church, did some creditable newspaper work, and was a young man who bad a very promising career before him. Hteveas. Early Saturday morning the pure spirit of little Graydon Bradley Stevens went to dwell with kindred spirits in the Heavenly Home. He came to brighten the home and gladden the hearts of John and Elva M.

Stevens, June 25, 1903. A treasure he was of sunshine and intense activity tbe short while he stayed. Many friends lovingly sympathize with the stricken hearts 01 these sorrowing parents. A short sickness of pneumonia coupled with typhoid fever proved too much for even his strong, healthy body, and all that could be brought to aid it. So now be is with the angels.

"Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast, There by His love o'ershaded. Sweetly his soul shall rest." The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, Rev. J. M. Frost officiating, and Miss Anna Mae Sutnmerville very sweetly sang, 'Suffer Little Cbildres." GlCBSC-B.
