                                Watervliet.
                                
              The funeral services of MRS. M. STANDISH was
            held in the Congregational Church Wednesday,
            10 a.m. MRS. STANDISH had been slowly failing
            for several months, in fact had not been well
            since her step-daughter, MRS. ROSE STANDISH-
            TRIEBER, started for the Carolina Islands as
            a Missionary. When she bade ROSE good-bye one
            year ago she said to her "ROSE, I never will
            see you again," and her words proved but too
            true. MRS. STANDISH was a brave-hearted woman
            and tried to bear up with her usual spirit but
            the grief of parting with ROSE told upon her
            and she could not disguise it wholly. MRS.
            STANDISH took ROSE when she was a babe a few
            weeks old, her own mother having died shortly
            after the birth of ROSE. MRS. S. afterward
            married MR. STANDISH and proved a most excel-
            lent mother to three daughters thus intrusted
            to her care. ROSE and her own sister, MRS. M.
            AUSTIN, have known no other mother and the
            affection which has existed between them and
            their step-mother has been an unusual one.
            The oldest daughter of MR. STANDISH, being a
            child by the first wife, and a half sister of
            ROSE and MRS. AUSTIN, and much the oldest,
            was married and away from the old home while
            the other two were still young. MRS. STANDISH
            did her duty unflinchingly by her step-daughters,
            and after their father died she determined to
            educate the two younger ones. They received
            an excellent education at her hands and now
            mourn the loss of a true friend and most de-
            voted mother. MRS. TRIEBER wrote that she had
            been very sick and they were obliged to send
            to a neighboring island for a physician. Word
            has been sent to ROSE of her mother's death.
