MRS. JOHN E. GALE DIES SUDDENLY
Stricken with Apoplexy Early This Morning In Home in Guilford--Funeral Wednesday at 2 O'clock
Mrs. Addie Almira (Kerr) Gale, 50 wife of John E. Gale of Guilford, died very suddenly and unexpectedly of apoplexy in her home in Guilford early this morning. She had been in her usual health and on Memorial day attended the exercises in the town hall in Putney and yesterday afternoon visited her uncle, Alonzo D. Kerr in Westminster West.
Mrs. Gale was born in Putney July 29, 1874 a daughter of George A. and Emily (Miles) Kerr. She taught school in Dummerston, Marlboro, Vernon and Guilford, and on Oct. 9, 1901, married John E. Gale, a well-known Guilford farmer and lawyer, who is trust officer of the Brattleboro Trust Co.
Besides her husband and her uncle Mrs. Gale leaves two sons, Richard E. Gale, student in Albany Law school, and John C. Gale, a member of the senior class in Brattleboro high school, also two brothers, Arthur V. Kerr and Austin A. Kerr, both of Springfield, Mass.
She was a member of Brattleboro chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution; Bingham chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, of Brattleboro; Broad Brook Grange of Guilford, and the Guilford Congregatonal church.
To these various organizations she rendered willing and efficient service. She was a home maker in the highest sense, a devoted wife and mother, a woman of the best ideals, and her death brings sadness to a wide circle of friends.
Rev. A.V. Woodworth, pastor of the West Brattleboro and Guilford Congregational churches, will officiate at the funeral in the home Wednesday at 2 o'clock. The burial will take place in Christ church cemetery in Guilford.
