IN MEMORIAM.
Farmington merchants are exceeding

make the best possible display of holi
day goods and so far they have succeed
ed.
T h e shp.w, windows never presented
a more attractive ' appearance than at
the present time. T h e stores are well
stocked and the merchants are ready to
give the trading public' of Farmington
and vicinity a large and most attractive
stock of . g o o d s " from which to make
their holiday selection.) Many report
that trade is already starting well and
that a great many goods are being put
aside for later delivery. The business
outlook in Farmington is particularly
good, nearly everyone being busy which
assures the merchants of an excellent
holiday trade. A traveling.man w h o baa
visited Farmington for 25 years, was in
town Monday and. reported that he re
ceived a n o r d e r a t e v e r y place he called

A great many friends, including those
in Farmington, have been saddened by
the decease of Miss,Jennie E. NUes on
last Thursday at the private hospital of
Dr. Emerson, in Boston,-whither she
had been taken as a last resort, with a
faint hope* of prolonging her life. Ev
erything possible for her comfort was
done b y devoted relatives, both at home
anu in Boston, and her passing away is
deeply mourned. The funeral took place
Sunday afternoon at the School street
M. E. church in Berwick. Members of
the Sullivan high school class of 18S3,of
whiob the deceased was a. graduate, at
tended in a-body, and a large company
of friends gave token in their presence
and by the many beautiful flowers, of
their, esteem apd sympathy.
Among
family connections at the solemn service
was Mrs S. B*. Waldron of Farmington.
The casket waa placed in the receiving
tomb to await interment in the family
lot in the Farmington cemetery.
Miss Niles, born in Boston, Oct. 20,
1804, was the daughter o f Harris W , and
Mrs. Lovey (Libbey) Niles, the latter
dying when little Jennie was but a few
years old. T h e child then made her

Description
An account of the resource
Lucy Dodge Farmington News article, page2, 12-20-1907. Lucy Dodge was a well known figure during her life in Farmington and is one of the most notable black historical figures in the local record. <br /><br />Note this article cotains biases from the period.<br /><br />The text of the article reads:<br /><br /><p><em>Probably two good .men who. have</em><br /><em>charge of the regular collections at the</em><br /><em>Congregational church never wore more</em><br /><em>pleasingly astonished in the course of</em><br /><em>their Sunday duties than -were they on</em><br /><em>December 15 when they found in the</em><br /><em>morning offering a cheque for five hun-</em><br /><em>dred dollars; this amount to be known</em><br /><em>as the Lucy Dodge Memorial Fund, the</em><br /><em>Income to be used in the support of the</em><br /><em>church and its customary exercises.</em><br /><em>The name given recalls to the older peo-</em><br /><em>ple of tho community the story of a</em><br /><em>loyal soul whose devotion is thus com-</em><br /><em>memorated but this should be known</em><br /><em>also to our younger friends, in merited</em><br /><em>regard for both past and, present,.and as</em><br /><em>a lesson for the future. -In the period</em><br /><em>of the civil war Mrs. Martha E. Edgerly</em><br /><em>(her first marriage having been to Cap-</em><br /><em>tain Enoch Dodge who was killed in the</em><br /><em>war) brought a homeless little black girl</em><br /><em>to her own home in South Berwick, Me.,</em><br /><em>and this child was known as : Lucy</em><br /><em>Dodge. She was taught everything</em><br /><em>practicable in the well appointed house-</em><br /><em>hold, and at both common and Sunday</em><br /><em>schools, and became a faithful and com-</em><br /><em>petent housekeeper. She was nearly as</em><br /><em>much at home In Farmington.-as at</em><br /><em>South Berwick, attending her mistress</em><br /><em>in visit's to her brothers, and to.her sis-</em><br /><em>ter who was the first wife of' James B.</em><br /><em>Edgerly, and upon the marriage of Mrs.'</em><br /><em>Dodge to the latter, several" years after</em><br /><em>the sister's decease, Lucy became per-</em><br /><em>manently resident in town and.was ever</em><br /><em>a devout attendant upon exercises of the</em><br /><em>churcb, taking honest pleasure in con-</em><br /><em>tributing to its support and good works.</em><br /><em>In falling health, after the decease of</em><br /><em>her kind mistress, Lucy was given every,</em><br /><em>possible care by the .members.of the</em><br /><em>family which.she held as hers, until she</em><br /><em>followed those whose loss she had</em><br /><em>mourned. It is like the conscientious</em><br /><em>and public spirited head of tho house-</em><br /><em>hold, James B. Edgerly, to .have planned</em><br /><em>thus generously for the continuance of</em><br /><em>a part lo the progress of the church and</em><br /><em>parish, In the name of the loyal friend</em><br /><em>whose memory is thus perpetuated.</em></p>
