In Plymouth: Feb. 10 - Mrs. Addie Sampson (Manter) Holmes, wife of George F. Holmes,
and a life-long resident of this town, died February 10 at her home on High street,

Elder Brewster. Both her parents Ruth Sampson and George A. Manter were Plymoutheans.
Mrs. Holmes, women of sterling Christian character, became a member of Memorial
Methodist Episcopal church more than forty years ago, and was loyal in attendance at all
of its services, and in all branches of its work. She was a member of the official board,
president of the Woman's Home Missionary society, and one of the leaders of the Woman's
Bible class. She was also president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance Union;

by the pastor, Rev. Wilfred D. Hamilton. Two vocal selections: "Crossing the Bar," and "Abide
With Me," were sung by Mrs. William Harriman, Miss Edna M. Fletcher and Mrs. Wilfred D.
Hamilton, with Miss Annie Burgess at the organ.
This was followed by a Rebekah service, and also by a service of the W. C. T. U., with the
County President, Mrs. Edith Wheeler of North Abington in charge, assisted by the County
Vice President, Mrs. Regene Berry of Hanson, and others. The profusion of beautiful floral
tributes was a testimonial of the esteem in which the deceased was held.
