    • Bangor Whig and Courier, News of a sad affair has been received in Bangor. Mrs. Elmira A. Goddard, formerly of Hampden, was burned to death in her house at South Walpole, Mass., on Monday night while alone in the house. Her daughter, who lives with her, was away for a short time. As the house sat in hollow quite a distance from any other, the fire was not discovered until too late to save the building or to render any assistance. Mrs. Goddard was the last survivor of her family, being a sister of the late Capt. Noah Emery, of Bangor, and Mrs. James H. Sewall, of Hampden.
