At the hospital In Clinton, Mass., where she had gone for medical treatment, on October 5, occurred the death of Mrs. Sophia S. Willey, wife of Lysias B. Willey,and daughter of the late Lyndol and Nancy (McLellan) French of Glover. The deceased was born In Glover April 10, 1835, and has been a resident of this town all her life. She was educated at the "Orleans Liberal Institute," then in its palmy days, in which academy she was a favorite student and leader of her young associates. Three children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Willey: Nora, the eldest, who is the wife of Darwin S. Waterman of Barre; Ralph, who died at two years of age; and Dean, who also passed away, fifteen years ago, aged eighteen years. Three brothers and two sisters survive her: Heman French of Lyndon, Dean C. French of Dorchester, Mass., Dr. Charles L. French of Clinton, Mass., Mrs. Serucia F. Leonard of Manchester, N. H., and Mrs. Helen F. McGaffey of Glover. Mrs. Willey possessed a bright, cheerful disposition, and during the years of her failing health looked always for the "silver lining" in her clouded horizon, when friends made inquiries of her condition. She was apt at repartee, broad in her views of the higher life, an active worker In the Universalist parish, and deeply devoted to the prosperity of the Ladies' Mite Society. She was especially public-spirited, and interested in the events of the day. Universally beloved, she will be greatly missed in the community where she has spent a long and useful life. Rev. Mr. Flower and Rev. Mr. Hewitt officiated in appropriate though brief services at her late home on Sunday at 2:00 o'clock p. m., where many relatives and friends assembled to pay their last respects, and look once more upon the face of the honored dead. The profusion of flowers which covered and surrounded her casket bore visible testimony to the love and esteem in which she was held by all. She was laid to rest in the Glover cemetery beside the dear ones gone before. (Orleans County Monitor, 16 Oct 1905)
