DIED: March 16, of heart disease, Mrs. Anna May Aldrich, wife of George E. Aldrich at the residence of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlin, of West Blue. Anna May Chamberlin was born August 10, 1865 and was 23 year 7 months and 6 days old when she died; she has lived the greater part of her life in West Blue and is well known in Fairmont and community. She was married to George E. Aldrich, July 29, 1886, and they have since resided on his farm not far from her old home.
In their happy and contented life, they little dreamed of the grief which was so soon to overtake them. Their only child, which was taken sick a few weeks ago and was buried last Wednesday, and it is with inexpressible sadness that we have to report the death of Mrs. Aldrich the following Saturday morning.
She had not been well for a few weeks and had been considerable worried about her son, bot on Friday, she seemed quite well, ate a hearty supper and after spending as cheerful an evening as possible under the circumstances, she bade her parents good night and retired. She seemed to rest well through the night, and when her husband awoke early the next morning she was also awake. He began talking to her and asked her how she was, she replied that she felt quite well, but desired that he remain with her as much as possible through the day; he assured her he would, but had hardly ceased speaking when she gasped, he quickly raised her and called, her mother came in hurriedly, but she only breathed once more and was gone--so easily, suddenly and unexpectedly that the husband and parents were appalled. Mrs. Chamberlin was prostrated by the shock for a time, but we learn she is improving.
The oldest brother, Walter, being out west, was telegraphed for and arrived Sunday on the early morning train.
The funeral was held in the Congregational Church, Sunday, at half past two, Rev. Bunker preaching the sermon. The deceased was a lover of flowers, and the floral decorations were beautiful and appropriate.
The day was rainy and the roads bad, but a large number from West Blue, as well as town were in attendance to pay the last sad rites to the departed, thus bespeaking the esteem in which she was held by all, and their sympathy for the almost heartbroken husband, parents and friends in their sad bereavement.
