Keyes Esq last Monday at 8:45 a.m. at the age of 45 years. She had been in poor health some time, but was confined to her bed but three weeks — since November 23rd with a complication of diseases, the most notable feature which was fever. The cause of death, as reported to the Town Clerk, is cerebral congestion. Funeral took place at the residence Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The beautiful and impressive funeral service of the Order of the Eastern Star was performed by Mount Hope Chapter, of which deceased was a member. In the conclusion of the service the Rev. Lorin Webster, rector at St. Mark's, read the Episcopal burial service. The remains — the features expressing peace and rest — clothed in white, reposed in a white broadcloth casket. The floral tributes were abundant and beautiful. These consisted of cross of white flowers with "Rest" in purple flowers by the Cheney family; a large white cross and anchor by Mrs. Sarah Bateman; a cross on a pillow, with the initials E.W. on the pillow, by the Earnest Workers; an emblematic star on the Order of the Eastern Star, by Mt. Hope Chapter; bunch of white carnations and ferns, tied with white ribbon, by Mrs. Alice J Dole; cut flowers and ferns, by Mrs. Frank Fifield; bunch of white roses and palms, tied with white ribbon, by Mrs Ellen Mitchell; cut flowers and leaves, by Winifred Nichols; cross of white flowers by the Rev. Lorin Webster and family; smilax and cut white flowers for the outside and inside decoration of the casket, by Miss Delle Ladd. Other contributions there may have been, but what these were and who contributed them are not known to the writer. The bearers were four nephews of the deceased — Rodney W., Dr. J.M., and Harry Cheney and Edgar P. Fay of Winchester, Mass. Among mourners were Mrs Adaline Prescott of Lake Village and the Misses Millard and Stockett of the Orphans' Home, Concord, of which deceased was formerly matron. Interment was in the family lot in Green Grove Cemetery, by the side of Dot Fay, a dearly loved niece. Her grave was beautifully lined, sides and ends, by the Earnest Workers with evergreen. There rests all that is mortal of Fanny M Keyes until the last trump shall sound. A father, four sisters, — Mrs. Thomas P. Cheney, Mrs R.R.D. Dearborn, both of Ashland, Mrs. J.H. Blakeslee of Fall River, Wisconsin and Mrs E.G. Clapp of Covina, Calif. and a large circle of other relatives and friends survive her and mourn her loss. Deceased was graduated with honors at New Hampton Institution and at the State Normal School, Plymouth. Since graduating she taught terms in the public schools of Milford, Rumney, Brunswick, Pa., many terms in the village schools and was the first principal of the graded school since the present schoolhouse was built. She served as assistant in the postoffice while E.G. Clapp held the office, and subsequently became postmistress. This office she resigned within a few months of the end of her term to accept the position of matron of the Orphans' Home, Concord. In this capacity she served two years and a half. For many years she has been a most devoted Christian and a valuable member of St. Mark's Episcopal Church. Her loss is sincerely deplored. >The Ashland Item, December 19, 1891
