OBITUARY
Ellen M., widow of the late Llewellyn Kenney, died Sunday afternoon, May 25th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. B. L. Aborn, in Knox. She had been a semi-invalid for the past two years with diabetes, which finally terminated in paralysis. All that the best medical assistance, willing hands and loving hearts could do was done to prolong the dear mother's life. She was born in Harmony, June 8, 1841, the daughter of the late John and Sarah P. McGray, and was the oldest of a large family. Practically all of her long and useful life was spent in Knox. Early in life she was a successful school teacher. She was unusually fond of reading and kept well posted an all the topics of the day. A kind neighbor and friend, a woman of sterling worth and character, yet quiet and unassuming in disposition, hers was a life spent largely in self-sacrifice for the comfort and welfare of her family and others. Her greatest happiness was in her home and family, to whom she was devoted until stricken with the disease which rendered her an invalid; but she did her life's work so bravely and faithfully, her memory as a loving, faithful mother will linger forever. She leaves to mourn their loss, three children-Mrs. B. L. Aborn, Miss Flora A. Kenny of Knox and William P. Kenney of Raynham, Mass., and one grandson, W. Prescott Kenney. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. David L. Brackett, who spoke words of comfort to the bereaved family. W. S. Jones of Brooks rendered two lovely solos, and amidst the beautiful flowers she had always loved so well she was tenderly laid to rest Wednesday afternoon.
