EMERY - JANE T. RICHARDSON - Eden

Bar Harbor Record
Nov. 9, 1910

The funeral of Mrs. Jane Richardson Emery was held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Benjamin L. Hadley, Wed. Morning, Nov. 1oth.  Mrs. Emery was 95 years old and throughout her entire life has been a resident of the town of Eden.  probably no town in the United States can show a longer resident.  Throughout all those many years Mrs. Emery has maintained a keen interest in the things of life.  Her remarkable memory reached back with great clearness to the time when Eden was composed of hardly a score of homes in the midst of a great wilderness.
Until recent years when confined to her home by infirmity Mrs. Emery was a constant attendant of the Baptist Church.
Her years were lived in a quiet unassuming manner.  Pariently she bore her suffering until the last.  Faithfully in her home, devoted to her friends, she lived far beyond man's allotted three score and ten.  Now she has laid down the burden of life, leaving behind her the rememberence of a true and noble womanhood.
Mrs. Emery is survived by two sisters;  Mrs. Sophia Leland, of Bar Harbor, and Mrs. Issac Emery of Eden;  two daughters, Mrs. Almon Harden and Mrs. Benjamin L. Hadley of Bar Harbor.
