DEATHS AND FUNERALS
ANCHORS
HADDOCK, May 16 -- This entire community was shocked and grieved at the announcement Wednesday morning of the death of Mrs. Clara Walker Anchors, wife of Dr. H. L. Anchors. She had been ill only a few days. Just one week ago she was out driving with friends in her usual happy spirits, and apparently fully recovered from a recent attack of measles.
The high esteem in which Mrs. Anchors was held was attested by the large attendance upon her funeral and the profusion of flowers sent in by her sorrowing friends. A very handsome floral piece was sent by the local lodge of Knights of Pythias.
She was an active member of the Methodist church at this place, and her gentle ministrations to the sick and many acts of kindness had endeared her to the community in a peculiar way.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. A. Ernest, her pastor. Her six brothers-in-law acted as pall-bearers.
