72 YEARS WITH SAME FAMILY

WOMAN SERVANT’S RECORD Seventy-two years in the service of one family! This was the record of an old maidservant who was buried recently in New Southgate Cemetery. It was as a pretty girl of IS that she entered the family life of parents of the Misses Liebstein—one of whom is Lady Bailhache—-and it was as a fragile woman of 90 that she slipped quietly out of the life of the family. “Nan —her real name was Miss Fanny Portlock—was really par) of our family,” Miss Liebstein, of Duke’s Avenue, Church End, Finchley, said. “The great grief of her closing years was that she could not do all she wanted to do for us. “She was buried closely to our family vault, because shortly before her death she said: T want to be near the family, so that I can meet them all again on Resurrection Morn.’ ”
