["Gerry Mattinson" <Gerry_Mattinson_uid905@yahoogroups_ .invalid>]

I don't think the following obituary has been posted before:

Dec. 24, 1949 Amherst Daily News (received from Barb Reid):
MRS. JEREMIAH MATTINSON
The death of Mrs. Grace E. Mattinson, wife of Jeremiah (Gerry) Mattinson, occurred suddenly Friday morning at their home, 16 Poplar Street.  Though she had not been in good health for some time, it was not thought that her condition was serious and her sudden passing came as a great shock to family and friends.  She was 61 years of age, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Eli Weeman of Attleboro, Mass.  She had resided in Beckwith, Cumberland County, for a number of years, but had been living in Amherst for the past four and a half years.  In Beckwith, she belonged to the Baptist Church and took an active interest in the Women's Missionary Society and was superintendent of the Sunday School.  She continued her church work at Highland Baptist Church in Amherst and had a wide circle of friends.  She is survived by her husband, one daughter Evelyn (Mrs. Hayden Hollis) of Amherst and one granddaughter, Ardith, as well as one brother, John of Attleboro,
Mass.  The remains are resting at the home from which place the funeral service will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with interment at Highland Cemetery.


Hope this helps someone,
Gerry
