Sancomb, Mrs. Edward - Mrs. Edward Sancomb died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Leland Murphy at Malone on Friday morning following an illness of four years, which terminated in a heart attack.

She was decidedly a home woman, the true wife and mother, who sacrificed many pleasures in order that she might be with her children to bring them up in the fear and love of God. Her death caste a gloom over the community as she was always ready with a good word for everyone. She was blessed with her fondest wish to die a beautiful death, and was resigned to go to receive her eternal reward. Surviving are her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Leland Murphy, of Malone, a son Henry R. Sancomb, of Worcester. Mass., two grandchildren, her father, John LeClair, of Chateaugay, three sisters, Mrs. Oliver Taylor of Chateaugay, Mrs. John Dumont, of Johnson City, and Mrs. Oliver Wood, of Detroit.

Secoure, Frank - Ellenburgh West Hill - In memory of Frank Secoure, Jr., who died Sept. 14, 1909, aged 67 years. Only four months and he followed his mother. Mr. Secoure was never married and had always made his home with his parents. Being the eldest child in the family, he knew what hard times were; he never had the advantages enjoyed by the boys of today in attending school, but began work at an early age to help support the rest of the family. He was in very poor health at the time of his mother's death, and that together with the shock of her death soon brought the reunion in the better land. He leaves a father, one brother, Fred of Standish, and three sisters, Mrs. John LeClair, of North Bangor, Mrs. George Bow, of West Hill, and Miss Amelia, who was as ever ready to care for her brother as she was for her mother.
