Rey. A. G. Warner will preach at 
the Baptist church Sunday morning 
on ‘‘Thanksgiving,’’ and in the eve- 
ning on ‘‘The Value of Want.’’ 
A -Union Thanksgiving service 
will be held on the morning of

gational chapel. The service will be 
at 10.45. Rev. A. G. Warner of the 
Baptist church will speak on ‘‘The

Rev. Chas. M. Ellinwood will 
preach at the Congregational church 
Sunday morning, also at the Vesper 
service in the afternoon. He will 
conduct special services in the 
chapel every evening this coming 
week at 7.30. After deliberating, 
the standing committee decided to 
invite Mr. Ellinwood to come, in 
the hopes of interesting the church 
and community in the thought of a 
larger devotion and a fuller conse- 
eration of self in the cause of relig- 
ion and humanity. Coming during 
Thanksgiving week it is a double re- 
minder of our indebtedness to God 
for his many blessings and this calls 
for larger giving of self, time, talent 
and money in the interests of His 
Kingdom. Everyone in Manchester 
is invited to the special services. If 
the chapel proves too small the 
meetings will be held in the church 
auditorium. 
Parent-Teacher Association 
The meeting of the Manchester 
Parent-Teacher Association in the 
assembly hall of the primary school, 
Wednesday evening was well at- 
tended and was very much enjoyed. 
Previous to the address of the 
evening by Dr. Charles H. Williams 
of Gloucester, Miss Gwendolen 
Glendenning played on the piano, 
Goddard’s ‘‘In the Morning,’’ and 
following the lecture Miss Stenhouse 
of the high school faculty sang 
very sweetly Green’s ‘‘The Beauti- 
ful Land of Nod,’’ and as an encore 
‘Thou Art Like a Flower,’’ by 
Liszt. Miss Porter presided at the 
piano and violin obligato was by 
Miss Katherine Shea. 
Dr. Williams gave a very interest- 
ing talk on ‘‘The American Trin- 
ity,’’ which he outlined as the home, 
the church and the school. He said 
the three went together, one over- 
lapping the other, in the develop- 
ment of the child. 
The usual social hour followed in 
the primary room, when tea was 
served by a committee of teachers 
and parents.

Mrs. L. E. Davis of this town is 
one of the contestants for the prize 
of a piano offered by Hallet & Da- 
vis of Boston, for the one writing 
the name of the firm on a card, 3x4 
inches, the greatest number of times. 
Mrs. Davis succeeded in writing the 
words 601 times, using two colors 
of ink, alternating the half-inch 
columns in which the words are 
written. It is interesting to know 
that there are 1803 words on the 
card and the numbers 1 to 601, mak- 
ing a total of 25,242 letters and 1695 
numerals. 
Gertrude (Hoyt) Wilcox 
Mrs. Gertrude (Hoyt) Wilcox, 
wife of Ernest Wilcox, passed away 
last Saturday at the Massachusetts 
General Hospital, Boston, after an 
illness of several months. Her age 
was 36 yrs., 8 mos., 11 days. 
Mrs. Wilcox was born in Charles- 
town, March 7, 1875, a daughter of 
Dr. and Mrs. Claudius L. Hoyt. She 
spent her girlhood and practically 
all her life in Manchester, and was 
eduacted in the public schools of the 
town. 
Last summer she was advised by a — 
specialist to go to the hospital for 
treatment, for a trouble which had 
developed, and accordingly she was 
operated upon at the Massachusetts 
General Hospital. She returned 
from there but had to go back to the 
hospital in a short time. She was 
’ operated upon again, but she did not 
improve, for several weeks up to the 
time of her death it was known she 
could not live. 
Her death is an unbearable blow 
to her husband and her father and 
mother and two sisters, Mrs. F. C. 
Rand and Mrs. Oakes Alden, and 
other members of the family, as well 
as a large host of friends. Mr. Wil- 
cox is a clerk at the postoffice. 
There are three small children, two 
cirls and a boy. 
Deceased enjoyed remarkably 
good health all her life and was one 
of the last of whom one would think 
death could pay such a hurried visit. 
She had always been prominently 
identified with the life of the town 
in her younger days, and was an ex- 
cellent singer. She sang in the choir 
of the Congregational church for a 
number of years. She was a mem- 
ber of Harmony Guild. 
Funeral services were held Tues- 
day afternoon at 2 o’clock from the 
attractive new cottage home of the 
family, the Rev. Dr. Charles H. 
Williams of Gloucester, officiating. 
Interment was in Rosedale cemetery.
