Mrs. Melia lived to a ripe old age. She had not been in good health for the past 2 years, but her last illness was only a few days when she obeyed the summons "to come up higher."
She had been a faithful interested member and supporter of the Congregational Church of Ford for the last 24 years. For the last 2 years she had not been able to get out much, but her peace of mind flowed on like a river and her cheerful, happy smile never failed...........
