Obituary
Carrie P. Emery Sprague Died Jan. 18, Carrie P. Emery, wife of Charles H, Sprague, aged 64 years, 7 months and 18 days. She was married four years ago and came from New Hampshire to Dexter to live near her childhood home. Funeral services were held at her late home Tuesday, Jan. 21. Rev. Stanley G. Spear spoke appreciative words of comfort and sympathy. There were many beautiful flowers consisting of a pillow from the husband, bouquet from A. H. Emery, a mound from E. E. Sprague, a crescent from Walter L. Emery and sister, a basket from the Rebekahs of Dexter, a wreath from the Universalist church, a bouquet from Miss Florence Sprague, pinks from Mrs. H. A. Currier, pinks from Mr. and Mrs. Abner Shepherd, and many other offerings from friends. She leaves a husband, brother, two nephews and niece, and other friends to mourn her untimely end. She was faithful and true in all her relations in life. Anything that was not high and noble never found an echo in her heart. Her health did not permit her mingling in society, but she was all devotion in her home where she will be sadly missed. Interment in the family lot at Corinna Center. O House of many mansions, Thy doors are open wide And many are the dear ones Upon the other side. Thy portals they are golden And those who enter in Shall know no more of sorrow Of weariness or sin.
