Mrs. J. Glover Farwell, widow of the late U. S. Senator Nathan Allen Farwell, died suddenly Sept. 20th at her home in Rockland. She had been failing several months, but the ill turn from which she died almost immediately came very unexpectedly. Mrs. Farwell was nearly 91 years of age. She was born at North Haven, being the daughter of Benjamin Thomas. She had resided in Rockland most of her life and was married to Senator Farwell about 69 years ago. Mrs. Farwell was one of the oldest members of the First Baptist church. She is survived by one son, Nathan T. Farwell, a well known banker, and four daughters, Miss Clara M. Farwell, who has been recording secretary of the Maine W. C. T. U. many 3 ears; Frances F., widow of the late Chief Justice Walbridge A. Field of Massachusetts; Annie, wife of city undertaker Edgar A. Burpee, and Miss Marcia W. Farwell of Rockland. Within a few hours of Mrs. Farwell's demise occurred the death of her sister, Mrs. Roxana Dyer of North Haven, aged 98. Mrs. Dyer's death was also very sudden, paralysis being the cause. The surviving sister is Mrs. Lydia S. Hatch of Rockland, aged 92. A fourth sister, who had been 96 had she lived, died about four years ago as the result of an accident. It is believed that these four daughters of Benjamin Thomas furnished the most remarkable instance of longevity on record.
