Death of Mrs. Mary Marshall Tabraham
Mrs. Mary Marshall Tabraham, one of the most prominent women of New Ipswich and Altamonte Springs, Fla., died after several months' illness at Waltham, Mass., April 23.
She was the daughter of Orlando and Eliza Mansur Marshall and was born in the old Marshall homestead in New Ipswich, N. H. She was the widow of Robert J. Tabraham, who died 20 years ago. She was educated in the public schools of New Ipswich and at Appleton academy. Most of her early life was spent in Washington, New York and Boston. About 25 years ago Mr. and Mrs. Tabraham purchased the home, known as the Barrett place, Bank Village for their summer residence and there, near her ancestral home, Mrs. Tabraham spent her summers. Mr. and Mrs. Tabraham spent their winters in New York. the South, or in European travel. For 13 years Mrs. Tabraham has spent the winter months with her brother, Ed- ward O. Marshall, in their Florida home at Altamonte Springs.
Mrs. Tabraham was a woman of rare personal charm. Her long life was filled with interesting experiences; her extensive travels and the meeting of many distinguished people made her reminiscent conversations a great de- light to her friends. She had a keen sense of humor and her wonderful spirit of youth permeated her vibrant personality and always made her a great favorite with both young and
old. She is survived by a brother, Edward O. Marshall of New Ipswich and Altamonte Springs, a nephew, Harry B. Tindall, of Winchester, Mass. and three nieces, Mrs. Frank H. Whiting of Raymond, N. H., Mrs. George A. Lewis of Naugatuck, Conn., and Miss Ida B. Rossiter of Claremont, N. H.
Services were held Monday in Waltham, Mass. and a short service was held in Bank Village, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The interment was in the Tabraham lot in New Ipswich.

James Roger diary entry
2nd March 1913
Cold and clear forenoon; wind and snow in afternoon. Mr. Lord preached from text: “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, etc.” Communion after; no S. S. And no evening service until April. Only 15 at communion service.
Drove by that house 1000 times in the 50s and 60s and wondered who lived there. It seems like we had 2 different groups of people calling New Ipswich home.
