I had this clipping in an old scrapbook of my grandmother's and thought maybe someone out there researching the Trask family might be interested. Dr. Trask lived in West Boylston, Worcester Co., MA. Incidentally, my grandma saved clippings of folks she knew from her childhood, and this Dr. Trask was an obstetrician, who delivered a few of her siblings, in the Ragaini family.

There is a newspaper photo which was part of this item, that I have scanned and can provide to anyone interested. I enjoy sharing some of my grandma's memories with other researchers. It sort of keeps her memory alive.

Through His death and resurrection, Christ has made the grave a portal; for through its gates we enter into the presence of the Living God.
