Although Mrs. Dale's condition for several months had been extremely critical, it sent a shock through the community to hear of her passing away Thursday morning, August 1, 1907, aged forth-six years. The primary cause of her death was heart disease, with acute congestion of liver contributory. The shadow rests deeply upon the home of her happy wedded life, upon the home of her childhood, and casts its gloom over the entire community.
Mrs. Dale was a daughter of Deacon and Mrs. Alvin Bartlett. Her father died October 6, 1900. On June 1, 1891, she became the wife of Porter H. Dale. Four children blessed the union, Marian Jennie, Timothy Christopher, Amy Portia, and George Needham.
Besides the husband and children, she leaves a mother, three sisters, Mrs. Jennie B. Edmands, Mrs. E.F. Norcross, Miss Edith Bartlett, and one brother E.M. Bartlett.
Services were held at her late home Saturday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. Thomas Hall. The parlors were filled to their utmost capacity by sorrowing and sympathizing friends.
In the early evening the casket was borne by J.S. Sweeney, Luther A. Cobb, I.B. Jones and O.S. Eaton down the driveway from the house, through the pines and tamaracks, and placed on an open carriage driven by Charles W. Farr, and covered with flowers, was accompanied by the family to Lakeside Cemetery. As the pastor read the words of Holy Scripture "I am the resurrection and the life," the sun was setting and the deep tones of the old church bell filled the valley, and prompted him to quote the lines from Tennyson so frequently repeated by her at the sunset hour:
"Twilight and evening bell, Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me!"
