Christmas and Epiphany observ- 
ance will be combined at the Congre- 
gational church Sunday morning, 
with an appropriate sermon by the 
Sunday 
School at noon. Junior C. E. at 5, and 
eet eC. at 6, Special music 
will be rendered by the choir at the 
morning service. At 7 the choir and 
congregation will join in a Christmas 
choral service making use of music 
particularly adapted to the season. 
Seldom is it the privilege of a 
church to have a member over one | 
hundred years of age. Yet Mrs Eliza- 
beth Plummer, who was _ interred 
from the Congl. church Sunday after- 
200n, had been a member in good 
standing and possessed of her facul- 
ties in much of their normal vigor, 
while nearly a year and one-half be- 
yond the century mark. No wonder 
that people attended the funeral in 
large numbers. Mrs. Plummer’s late 
husband was a man active and honor- 
ed in Wenham affairs. While her- 
self of domestic tastes and chiefly 
concerned in making a home for her 
husband, she took keen interest in his 
civic and religious activities and al- 
ways gave him sympathetic and in- 
 tcelligent support. William Keith had 
aecorated the church with exquisite 
taste for the Christmas service. 
Friends sent many beautiful floral of- 
ferings for the funeral. Mr. Cutler, 
in his remarks, commented upon the 
apparent conflict of ideas involved in 
the double floral display, part com- 
memorating a birth and a life, while 
the other part commemorated a death. 
But the conflict was only apparent. 
Such a peaceful death as Mrs. Pluim- 
mer’s, following so long and rich a 
career, was more suggestive of a new 
birth that a decease. No season could 
be more appropriate than the Christ- 
mas one for her home-going. Much 
of the comfort attendant upon Mrs. 
‘Plummer’s later years has been 
due to the devoted and affection- 
ate care given her by her daughter, 
Mrs. Julia Wilkins, with whom she 
has made her home.

memorial to Miss Metcalf. The plate 
was used for the first time on Sun-
