CHAS. E. RESSEGUIE after a painful illness. Her suffering had been very great for nearly three months, though disease had been approaching for more than a year past. Gradually wasting before its advance, she remained cheerful and uncomplaining. Her life and all pervailing christian influence seemed typified in the fragrance of the flowers she so much loved. Earnest in all good works, given to hospitality, and abundant in charity, she was strong in her conviction and firmly adhered to the right. The home she made beautiful is left sombre and desolate. Her husband and relatives are indeed bereft. The church of which she was so devout and faithful a member deplore her untimely death. Her place in the community will long be unfilled. The funeral took place Monday at the Congregational church, conducted by their pastor Rev. R. M. KEYES, assisted by Rev. S. N. HILL. A large assembly of true mourners and friends filled the house. The chancel had been set with banks of beautiful plants and flowers, the coffin was covered with choice wreaths and floral designs, all emblematic of the fragrance and purity of the life gone back to the Giver. ===========================================================================
