Obituary
Mrs. A. [lfred] B. Wakeman died at her home northwest of Bedford last Thursday morning, April 8, 1909. Mrs. Wakeman, formerly Miss Jennie M. Foote, was born Feb. 5, 1840 in Middlebury, Vt. While visiting in Merton, Waukesha, Wis., she met Mr. A. [lfred] B. Wakeman, then a young man recently returned from the Civil war. A year later, Dec. 3, 1867 [1866], Mr. Wakeman went to Vermont and brought his bride to his home in Wisconsin. Here they were converted and united with the Baptist church during the following March. In 1869 they moved to within five miles of where Lenox is now located and in 1875 moved to their present house. Mr. and Mrs. Wakeman were the parents of two children, Frank, who lives near the old home and Mrs. Lillian Beck, who lives in the home.
Mrs. Wakeman was taken ill in February 1908, and has suffered all these weary months with patience and Christian love. During all this time her gentleness of spirit and faith in the Redeemer has not failed. Her room was a place of inspiration. The devotion of her husband and children is to be especially remarked. No one could do more for a loved sufferer than these did for this wife and mother. No one doubts, or can doubt, but the dead is with her Lord and the living will received the reward due the faithful ministers.
