Mrs. Nellie M. (Collins) Griffin died at her home on the Griffin road, Parkerville, last week Friday at the age of 52 years 10 months, 23 days. She had been ill for several months. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phineas G. Collins, also former well-known residents of Parkerville, coming to this town from Ayer. She was the mother of eight children, and to them she was a true home mother, and this had more charms for her than the showy glitter of society. But for all the loving exactions of home duties she frequently appeared at lectures and entertainments and the social life of the town hall. Besides her husband, Charles M. Griffin, she leaves four sons and four daughters. The funeral was held from her late home last Sunday afternoon, Rev. John H. Blair officiating. Mrs. F. L. Roberts, of Lowell, sang "Sometime we'll understand" and "Jesus Savior, pilot me." The bearers were the [paper torn, line or two missing] son-in-law William Taylor. Burial was in the family lot in Fairview cemetery, where the committal service was conducted by the officiating minister.
