Madge H. Farmer was the daughter of James S. and Mary J. Farmer and was born in Pulaski, April 21, 1869. March 10, 1897, she married Wharton E. Sprague of Kasoag. To them were born three children, a boy who died March 20, 1907, two daughters, Mary A. and Olive who with the husband survive. A twin sister, Mrs. F. W. Austin of Fulton, and two other sisters, and two brothers who also survive. Mrs. K. J. Laing of Williamstown, Miss Jessie Farmer, L. J. Farmer and Charles Farmer of Pulaski.
Mrs. Sprague moved with her husband from Kasoag to Westdale about 10 years ago, where she had been an active and efficient help in church and community affairs. She was a loving wife and mother and a kind, helpful neighbor. Whenever there was sickness in a neighbor's home she was always one of the first to give a helping hand.
She was a member of the Presbyterian Church where she had taught a Sabbath school class until obliged to stop because of illness. Her loss will be keenly felt by the whole community.
The funeral was held at the Presbyterian Church Monday at 2 p. m. Interment was made at Williamstown.
