ment in Love.
'LOchy Ostrom, called the Pough-
keepsie miser, died about four weeks ago,
worth $50, 600. leaving behind no blood
relative. She lived upon others nearly
fifty years, and now scraps of her carly
history are daily coming 10 light. The
New York Sun says:
LOchv OstfOm was born in 1892. She
met her first and only love, if letters
found in her trunk may be taken in evil
dence, in Poughkeepsie, when she was
scarcely fifteen years of age. They went
together to a ball, the invitation to which
was found on a card carefully hidden in
hertrunk.
A few years later her lover asked her
hand in marriage, was accepted by LO-
chy, but was turned away brOken-hearted
by her parents. He left for the then far
West, Cincinnati Three years later, in
1918, he wrote her a letter from that
place, informing her that he chad mar
ried a pure and virtuous woman, who

of life, and going down 10 her grave petU-

Twenty-siy years after the last letter
spoken Of was written TO ''LOchy," her
old lover visited POughkeepsie in search
Of her, Another offer of marriage was
made, but it fell upon a heart OF stone
and was rejected. That was the last ever
