Mrs Sarah p wife of James Parton. Esq, of
New York, died in that city Thursday at the
age of 81 years. 49,
Mrs. Parton was native of this city, being
the daughter of Nathaniel Willis, ESQ She
was born in 1911, when her father was proprie-
tor of the Eastern argus. few years after
wards the family removed to Boston, where
she enjoyed the best educational advantages af-
forded to young ladies at that time. How we'll
she improved these advantages her subsequent
history shows. Her first husband was Mr..
Eldridge, cashier of a Boston bank, with whom
she lived happily until his death, several years
after On the death of Mr.. Eldridge, she was
lef t with family of children to support, and
here her education came in play. Over the
signature of Fanny Fern" she commenced
writing brief articles for the Boston Olive
Branch, which soon attracted the attention of
the publishers of other paper and her articles
were eagerly sought for. Her reputation ex
tended far and wide, and finally Mr. Bonner of
the New York Ledger secured her services
solely for his paper and she continued to write
for it up almost to the period of her decease.
Her writings have spread far and wide over the
whole Union and there is hardly town or vii
lage where her death will not be lamented
Some time after the death of her first hus-
band she was married to a gentleman who re-
moved to Michigan. The marriage was an I'M
fortunate one and divorce was the conse-
quence. After she removed to New York she
married Mr.. Parton with whom she has lived
happily-both being of a literary turn and seek
ing each others comfort
In addition to her contributions to the papers,
Mrs. Parton wrote two or three novels, besides
gathering her stray illusions into compact vol
umes one of which has recently issued from
the press
