died about 5.30. Besides her husband, she is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Forest Parsons, of this town, one sister, Mrs. Harry Young, and a brother, Earl Parsons, also of Dexter.
Phyllis Parsons Blanchard has been a lifelong resident of Dexter and was always a favorite among young and old. She was a graduate of Dexter High school and three years ago was married to Thomas Blanchard. She was an attendant at the local Congregational church and often sang in the choir of that church and for a year or more was a member of the regular quartet of the First Baptist church and was singing there at the time she was taken ill. She was a member of Martha Washington Rebekah lodge and of Wassookeag chapter, 0. E. S. Mr. Blanchard was for a time principal of the local High school. He, as well as the Parsons family, has the deep sympathy of everyone.
Funeral services for the late Mrs. Phyllis Parsons Blanchard were held from the home Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. F. Ernest Smith officiating. The display of floral tributes was immense and unusually beautiful and gave silent testimony of the deep respect and affection of a host of friends. Other than the family tokens conspicuous among the flowers was a mounted wreath from the employees of the Fay & Scott, in the office of which Mr. Blanchard is employed; a large wreath from the employees of Fay & Scott machine shop, a wreath from the Fay-Scott band, a wreath from the students of the N. H. Fay high school, of which Mr. Blanchard was principal for several terms, a spray from the Baptist church, Mrs. Blanchard having been a member of the choir, and a large spray of roses and carnations and a basket from neighbors. There were also many tokens from friends. The bearers were Chas. Dustin, Leonard Packard, Ralph Carleton, Harold McKechnie, Harold Small and Theodore Haseltine.
