AT his village. on the 9th instant, Mrs
DEBoRAH NICHOLS, wife Of G.. w. Nichols,
aged 70 years
One by one they ere passing away
those aged fathers and mothers who
were among the pioneers of our town
and village. Though they have lived
to see both youth and beauty fade-to
see scores Of the brightest and fairest of
our number, sink in the silent embrace
of the tomb, they, too, like the leaves
of the forest in autumn, are falling
falling to rise again, we trust, in q
brighter land where early flowers shall
never fade.
The subject Of this notice, whose
maiden name was Hobart, was born in
Randolph, Orange county, VT, and
was married to the partner who sur.
wives her. over fifty years ago. To
them were born ten children, seven
girls and three boys, eight of whom are
still living. The family circle was first
broken by the death of their son Isaac.
who, side by side with his comrade,
young LOWELL, fell in the defence Of
his country. The next. daughter in
Massachusetts,, died within the past few
years. Among the surviving children
well known in this locality, are G. II.
and Henry Nichols, Mrs. W. z.
Knowles, and Mrs. Creelman.
Nearly twenty years since, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nichols came from Massachusetts
and settled in this town. Shortly sub
sequent to this event, Mrs. Nichols was
afflicted with stroke Of paralysis by
which she was deprived of the power
OF articulation, stroke from which
she never recovered. A few years ago
a similar misfortune overlook her,
which partially paralyzed her body.
Notwithstanding her Affections she kept
about the house, and was cheerful in
the performance of many of the ordiu.
airy duties of life, until one week ago.
when third stroke paialyzed her
whole body, and she expired last Fri
day morning. Upon her children, aud
especially upon her aged partner, though
her death was not entirely unexpected,
this stroke falls most heavily. Pleas
antly-cheerfully, under all circum-
stances, hand in hand for more than
half century, had they trod life's rug
ged path together. But now, alas, the
silkcn cords of union are broken. aud
lies onward journey must be lonely.
A tender mother whose daily life has
long been watched with uncommon so
iieitude, has passed from earta to
brighter realm above. Bn.,
with them her name shall live
Through lOng-sueceedng years.
