O LANMAN BEOUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL The body of Gertrude Haile, widow of . William Camp Lanmian, reached Norwich from New York on the 2 o'clock. train Monday afternoon and was taken to Yan- tic cemetery for burial in, the family lot. Accompanying the body’ was Mr. Lan- man’s nieee, Mrs. Blanche Lanman Carr, wife of Rear Admiral Clarence M. Carr, of the Brooklyn navy yard. During the morning the graye had been consecrated by Rev. Daniel F. Sullivan, assistant pastor of St. Patrick's enurch, Who also read“the committal service, at which there were assémbied many promi- nent Norwich residents, includiug the Lanman and Haile families, former neigh- bors, Rev. William F. Williams, dcting rector of Christ church, long a personal friend of Mrs. Lanman and her husband during his resigdence in Westerly, a dele- gationof “ten members from . the Haile club, Miss Katherine Smith, acting pres- ident, and others. In the flowers arranged about the grave by Mrs. Albert H. Chase and Mrs. Frank L. Farrell was a beau- tiful wreath from the Pantops and an- other from the girls of \the Haile, club. The bearers were Rev. Mr. Williams, Wil- liam ¥, Habekotte, James P. Sheridan and Thomas F. Burns. Shea & Burke were in charge of the funeral arrangements in Norwich, It has been recalled since Mrs. Lan- man’s death in New York Thursday that it was she who took the initiative in in- ituting’ a branch of the Red Cross in Norwich, inviting Miss Mabel Boardman here from Washington and entei taining her for sever ys at “Glanbauer,” her beautiful° Washington street - residence. The first president of the Red Cross was Francis J. Leavens and Mrs) Lanman was telected the first sccretary, continu- ing the work until after many vears she relinquished the duties, on leaviig Nor- wich, to a younger, most faithful and efficient successor in office, Mrs. Robert W. Perkins. ‘r Her public efforts to secure the state tuberculosis sanatorium for Norwich have been referred to, tlie, legislative commit- tee before .whom - she advocategd the project admitting that it was the argu- ments of the womeu's delegation which won the members over to take this com- passionate step in Dbehalf of the then neglected sufferers from the White Plague. This same quality of love for others, tofdesire for service, actuated her every motive—moved her to establish the Haile club for the welfare of employed Norwich girls, to oven’ later a vacation houej at that . New York girls might come into the big, free, cool coun- try for a fortnight's outing. Mrs. Lanman’s father, Dr; Ashbel B, Haile, a Yale man, studious and scholar- ly, was of Canadian ancestry, Kis fore- fathers having spent much of their lives amid the vast oven tpaces of the great northwest—and to this fact she attributed her intense fondness for /the woods, counting a day amid the beauties of Mo- hegan park, during her return visits to Norwich, as among her chiefest joys. She had “crossed the ocean ten . or a dogen times. and especially during her winters ot |in Nice had come to have a fondness for flowers which found its expression in the rose-houses, the gréwing of chrysanthe- mums ‘gnd other, beautiful blooms. which as|her gafdeners produced—mostly for the pleasufe of her friends. She inspired the flower’ show at the Norwich armory, in which her rare gift of arranging decora- tive blossoms delighted every visitor. She was fond of animals, s sfie loved all God's creatures. At Glanbauer the horses and dogs were alwa high bred. Mrs. Lanman's mother, Miss Mary May, was of French (Maye) hncestry, an exemplary mother, through whose teach- ings her daughter had mastered all house- hold arts; could, as her friends knew, miake her livelihood, if necessary. with her needle, her brush, her pen. She pos- sessed the sprightly, artistic French na- ture, never lost the' freshness and spon- taneity of her childlike delight even in simple pleasures. Perhaps that was the THE PLAUT-CADDEN COMPANY by friends, and most dlnnwufli;? even those ¢ t to. her never heard her com-. plain. “ In her days of affluence there ‘were many who proiited by her generosi- ty and bounty, yet who forgot to make return, ignored their obligations, n Ler need. But of these also she never spok in resentment she was never, too poor to: manifest the spirit of the noble Sydney on learning that another was in want— to say in generous act and “Friend, thy weed is greater than mite" She had the broadest tolerance for small and narrow minds, just As she had for those ‘who misunderstood, ,for hvpoericy, criticism, suspicion. 71 iedorn, wen- tlenese, ‘love for all, “Hai ty «f the sir- cerest type, characterizad Ler vtte: After she had been receievd into the farther than their own convent garden.

It implied nerve-racking days and nights often of terror. Yet she con- tinued it until ner health demanded her recall to the convent, happy to remember that she had been able to restore some wayward girl to angered “or estranged parents, to revivify . the spark of con- science in some. despairing victim of “the crowded city's cruel selfishness and un- sparing vice. For a time she was in Brooklyn, teach- }ing French or Italian to convalescing sol- diers. Some time was spent in. the mag- nificent library in the Fifth avenue man- sion of ‘a millionaire ~whose name is known nation-wide, where she translated, on order Yor the convent, ancient French volumes corresponding to the English of Chaucer in comparisen to that spoken today. Whatever she did was. done well and with skill. The outstanding characteristic of her later years has been her humility, which wa sequalled only by her unselfishness. | Only the few very close to her were aware. that, when an attendant at Christ Episcopal church, Norwich, she gave to a former rector several thousand dollars as the start of a fund for a boys’ club for the city. This fund remains unused and untouched ; but, some time since, members of the vestry ruled that as Mrs. Lanman's income was practically only ~what .she could earn, she should have from time to time a portion of the interest on this amount, and this was. given her—only to" be divided with those of whose need. through sickness, poverty or misfortune, she had come to. know. “‘Oh, the good times she has given us!* was the exclamation of one of the former Haile club girls on learning of her death. “She sent me to the hospital and kep. me there till I was cured a ' poor woman said, sobbing. “Mjy wife died and my children would have been . taken. away from me only for her help!” a sorrowing workingman told -another. “When my daughter was hurt in the mill, she kept her in her own house and had the best doctors for her!” was the statement of an aged women. And so the tributes of gratitude are being paid. Hers wa sa rare soul, touching many lives. at varying angles and leaving an impress upon many hearts now tender. at her death. The beauty of service, to min- ister unto others, such was always her delight. There was a fitness that the very day before her death should have been made joyous b ya visit from Mrs. Carr, whose husdand has recently recov- ered from a long amd serious jliness. ‘When, following his wife into the Roman Catholic fold, th ethen Captain Carr Was baptized, Mrs. Lanman acted as his god- mother, and the wide-reaching charities of the admiral and his wife. their well from Chiffon to - e $12.00 Allowance for your cid S= vitig Free Sewing Machine. he Plaut-Cadden \Compa"_n_y, " $1.00 DOWN — $1.00 WEEKLY .
