Bickford Mrs. Linda G., wife of Walter H. Bickford of Winterport, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George A Hopkins, in Monroe, Dec. 8, where she went in September, when illness compelled her to give up her household duties. The deceased was born in Brewer, Jan. 13, 1887 and was educated in the public schools of that city, graduating from the High school in 1905. She came to Monroe with her parents in November of the same year and the following year took a course at Miss Beal’s school at shorthand in Bangor. She was employed in the office of Lawyer Patten in Bangor until obliged to leave on account of illness. Although never in robust health she was studious and ambitious and after a period of rest, she began teaching in 1907, and was an exceptionally successful teacher in Monroe and Newburgh until her marriage in November, 1914, to Mr. Bickford. They began housekeeping immediately at his home here and after a few months Mrs. Bickford resumed teaching in the school building situated a few rods from her home, and continued until the winter of 1918, when serious complications developed concerning her health, which necessitated surgical treatment. She made a brave struggle in the months that followed to regain, at least, her former health, receiving treatment both in Bangor and Massachusetts. She returned to her home from the Paine hospital in November, and for nearly a year looked after the affairs of her household, doing whatever her strength permitted. When in her presence one could scarcely realize that she was seldom free from pain, for her bright young life radiated gladness and cheer and she bore her burden with patience and fortitude. During her final illness, all that a devoted husband, loving parents and competent medical care could do, was done to alleviate her suffering which at times was intense. Many friends in Monroe, Newburgh and Winterport, as well as in her childhood home, deplore her early demise. Beloved by her pupils, esteemed by her friends and tenderly cherished by husband and parents, she has gone. Besides those already mentioned an aged grandmother survives. Funeral services were held at the Hopkins home Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 10th, Rev F.S. Dolliff of Jackson speaking words of comfort to the bereaved relatives. There were beautiful floral tributes from the family, from the lades of Loyal Rebekah Lodge in Monroe, with which she was formerly affiliated, from Morning Light Grange, Monroe, of which she was a member, and from the Ladies’ Club at White’s Corner. M.A. Haley was funeral director and the bearers were S.P. Stevens, W.N. York, Elmer Grant and Albert Smith. The interment was in Pilgrim’s Home Cemetery. C.D.Y. Winterport, Dec. 21, 1919
