THOMAS SLATER, of this city, died, May 31st, 1883, of remittant fever following measles, aged 35 years. She was born in Wesley, Maine, Feb. 1848. Her maiden name was SARAH. C. SPRAGUE. She received a good common edu- cation, and enjoyed the early culture of a thorough christian mother. She was converted at the age of 19, joined the congregational church, taught in the Sabbath school, and has continued to grow in her christian ex- perience. She has with her husband, been a member of the Presbyterian church, in this city for the past eight years, and deeply interested in its spiritual growth. She was married to MR. SLATER at Biddeford, Maine, Dec 18, 1868. The family have resided here for the past ten years. In her home she has been a strict example of affection, honor, industry, and piety; training her children by the gospel. The death of her christian daughter, LILLIAN, one year ago, has been a discipline of watchfulness for the call of the master now so sud- den. The remaining family are the bereaved husband, one daughter of eleven years, and one son of nine years. The funeral services were held at the family residence in the Second ward, on Saturday, June 2, conducted by the pastor, and attended by a large circle of friends, who sympathize deeply with the afflicted family. ========================================================================== If you've reached this file through a SEARCH, you can access more of our growing collection of FREE online information by going to the following URL: http://www.us-data.org/ ==========================================================================
