ESSEX. 
Mrs. Horace L. Andrews and 
daughter, Susan, have been visiting 
with Mr. and Mrs. George A. Curtis 
during the past week. Mr. Andrews 
came down over Sunday. Mr. and 
Mrs. Andrews reside in Salem and 
they consider it a great treat to visit 
their parents in Essex. Miss Susan 
is now four years old and grows 
more and more interesting every 
time we see her. 
The Essex Falls school house is 
being beautified by a new coat of 
paint. Rufus Burnham and Fred 
Andrews are doing the work. The 
senate was in session last evening in 
the Falls grocery store at which an 
efficient standing committee was ap- 
peinted to give timely suggestions 
as the work progresses. 
Mrs. Mary Ann Burnham, widow 
of the late Ezra Burnham, passed 
away early Monday morning. Mrs. 
Burnham was a life-long resident of 
Essex, a member of the Congrega- 
tional church, of which she was an 
active member in earlier’ years. 
She had lived to the great age of 
ninety-one years, eleven months and 
twenty-seven days—almost 92 years; 
and all through these years 
she had lived a pure, spotless life. 
The funeral service was held at her 
late residence, Essex Falls, Wednes- 
day at two p.m., Rev. Mr. Goddard 
officiating. Two sons and a daugh- 
ter, Ezra Francis, Gardner and Mary 
Elizabeth Burnham, are left to 
mourn her loss. 
Last Friday, July 14th, Raymond 
Brown, a seven year old son of Hd- 
win Brown, who is camping on the 
shore of Chebaceco Lake, Essex, 
wandered away and became lost. 
Ile was first missed at ten a.m. The 
most careful search was made, but 
fo no avail. Fears were entertained 
that he had been drowned in_ the 
lake. Word was sent to Hamilton 
and the neighboring towns for help. 
Salem police came down to do what 
they could, bringing grappling irons 
to search the water of the lake. 
Searching parties were organized 
which scoured the woods in every 
direction. Finally about ten p.m., 
the boy was found in a swamp un- 
harmed. 
A little girl strayed into the house 
of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Marston 
early Sunday morning seeking for a 
home. Attraction seemed to be mu- 
tual, so much so that it will become 
her permanent home, we hope for 
many years. The boys of the house- 
hold are delighted with their new 
sister. She weighed eleven and one- 
half pounds. Her name is Nancy.

Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Drury and 
son Thorndike of Newtonville were 
guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. Frank 
Raymond during the past week. 
Mrs. Drury was Nellie Lord before 
marriage and is a niece of Mr. Ray- 
mond. 
Mrs. Frank Perkins, who recently 
sailed for Scotland after a rough 
passage has reached her destination. 
Mrs. Perkins is visiting the town of 
her nativity and touring the country 
in its vicinity. When last heard 
from she was at Geddiston, Avoch, 
Rosshire. It seems strange to us 
while we are having almost unen- 
durable hot weather, it is so cold 
where she is that they sleep in 
blankets, and when the hostess fur- 
nished hot water bottles they were 
found very comfortable.
