Obituary
Mrs. Myra J. Lumbart. Mrs. Myra J. Lumbart, who died at her residence in Willimantic, Sunday, Jan. 12th was the second daughter of Joseph A. Jose and the late Sarab M. Jose, of Upper Main street, Dexter, Maine. Her sisters, Anna F. Johnson, wife of C. A. Johnson, on the Charleston road, Mrs. Lillian E. Gilbert, who resides with her father on the homestead, and Mrs. Bertha M. Whitney, wife of Willard E. Whitney, a druggist in Newport, Me., together with her brother, Alvin M. Jose, of Dexter, were pleased to receive her at the time of the funeral of Mrs. Jose, Dec. 19th, though it was a very sad reunion for the family. Her mother had been to Willimantic since the birth of their youngest child, who was born Nov. 2. When Mrs. Lumbart returned to Dexter the day of her mother's death, or the next day, she did not realize that the last time she would see her mother alive had already past. The effect of the death of her mother was evidently very great upon her system after the long ride, though she seemed to have been consoled before her return to Willimantic. After her return to her home however, her health did not improve as rapidly as could have been desired. Her family was called and her father responded Friday, the 10th, taking the long twenty-eight mile journey to the bedside of his daughter. But it seemed that nothing could be done to stay the progress of the double pneumonia with which Mrs. Lumbart was afflicted. She leaves, beside her husband, Frank Lumbart, a little three year-old daughter, Ivol Myrtle, and little Haven, the baby boy born Nov. 2, 1907. The funeral was attended by the Rev. E. S. Drew, of Monson, Wednesday, Jan. 15th, at the residence of her husband. Mr. Lumbart with his daughter are now visiting with his father-in-law, on Upper Main street. The late Mrs. Lumbart, with her sisters and brother were members of the Baptist Sunday school. Many in Dexter will remember their friend of former years with tender memories. The tender ties which draw the members of this family together are a good example of what family life should remain even after the duties of the home cause separation for the time being.
