The death of Orlando L. Blake occurred on Wednesday morning after a short illness. Everyone will miss him. His was a bright and happy nature, always a cheery word and a smile for all he met. Bright and witty, he enjoyed his friends and was always happy with them.

Mrs. Vianna C. Marston:

No death has occurred in Hampton for a long time that has caused so much sorrow and regret as has that of Mrs. Vianna C. Marston, who suddenly and quietly fell asleep on the morning of the 4th. She had apparently been as well as usual but the call came and she was ready. It was a shock to her many friends, but a beautiful way to slip away and over to the other side where so many friends awaited her.

Mrs. Marston would have been 83 years of age on the 18th of this month. To all who knew her it is not necessary to eulogize her, a real Christian with strong convictions, always for the right. She was respected by all who came in contact with her. She was one of the forty members who united with the Congregational church on April 4, 1858.

Mrs. Rebecca Leavitt is the last of this 40. Vianna Marston was a constant attendant at church meetings and all functions of the church when she was able.

Mrs. Marston belonged to two of the old families being the daughter of Benjamin and Sarah Palmer. She is the last of her family. She was an early and valued member of the W. C. T. U., having given freely of time and means to the work. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Annie M. True and three grandchildren who will miss her sadly in the home. Her funeral was held in the home on Sunday afternoon where relatives and church people and neighbors gathered there to pay their respects to one they loved.

Rev. John Cummings, whom she had grown to love and respect conducted the simple services. The bearers were her four nephews, John C. Blake, Benjamin Blake, Charles Brown and Edward P. Brown. William Brown had charge of the funeral. There were many beautiful flowers from friends.

She was laid to rest not as one lost, but with the expectation of meeting her again in a better and happier country over there.
