Mrs. Martha Storey Friend 
After a lingering illness Mrs. Martha 
Storey Friend, widow of the late 
Daniel W. Friend passed away at her 
home on School street, Manchester, 
July 21, in the 88th year of her age. 
Mrs. Friend, nee Pierce, nee Martha 
S. Burnham, wasa native of Essex, 
in which town she spent the early 
years of her life. Her removal to 
Manchester was almost coincident 
with her first marriage to Joseph 
Pierce in 1842. Three children blessed 
their union, none of whom, however, 
survive. Mr. Pierce died in 1888. 
Sixteen years ago Mrs. Friend, 
then Mrs. Pierce, married Daniel 
Friend, with whom she lived until his 
death two years ago. 
Mrs Friend wasof Puritan lineage, 
her ancestors being among the early 
settlers of Gloucester and Ipswich. 
The influences in whose midst she 
_ was bred during the early years of 
the 19th century left their imprint 
upon her character, which was quiet, 
with hidden strength, gracious in its 
largest relations, and simple in its 
grasp of truth. She had few intima- 
cies outside the circle of loved ones to 
whom it was her delight to minister. 
She had lived to mourn the loss of 
many of her family and the shadows 
of bereavement deepened with the 
passing years; yet she took great in- 
terest in the humanities of life and re- 
tained till the last strong convictions 
touching the religious and moral 
worlds. 
In her youth she had taken excel- 
lent advantage of the best educational 
opportunities of her time and for a 
number of years taught school. Her 
tastes and sympathies were refined. 
Blessed with a clear and retentive 
memory she took delight in reproduc- 
ing with graphic distinctness the olden 
scenes in which she had herself par- 
ticipated, and could faithfully rehearse 
tales of revolutionary days told her by 
her grandfather. 
In her young womanhood she had 
confessed Christ in baptism and 
united with the Baptist church of this 
At the period of its reorgani- 
zation, however, she withdrew from 
its communion. In 1905 she again 
became a member. During the years 
of isolation and enfeeblement follow- 
ing her husband’s death, her faith sus- 
tained her and grew richer and firmer 
toward the close, until the query of 
the poet rose to her lips: 
“What need for cares to blight or fears annoy 
The heart whose God is her exceeding joy ?” 
Funeral services were held at her 
late residence Tuesday afternoon, 
Rey. E. Hersey Brewster  offici- 
ating. Mrs. J. W. Lee and Mrs. J. 
K. Tappan rendered solos. Burial 
was at Rosedale cemetery.

‘“‘ The reason firm, the temperate will, 
Endurance, foresight, strength and skill; 
A perfect woman, nobly planned 
To warn, to comfort and command.” 
With the passing of such a woman 
our community loses another of that 
noble type of women whose fitting 
eulogium lies in such words as these :
