SUDDEN Widow Tamisan B..
Hamilton, a lady 76 years of age. was
found dead in her bed on Tuesday morn
ing last. The appearance of the body
indicated that she died without pain
or struggle. Since the death of her
sister, Mrs. Mary B. Pierce, Mrs. Ham
ilton has resided in the family of DIR. j.
F. Skinner. Of late she has been in
feeble health, but her sudden demise
was not looked for. She leaves no near
relatives. Mrs. Hamilton came to this
town nearly twenty years ago from Leb-
anon, N. H.. and resided with her sister,
Mrs. Pierce, until her death. Mrs.
Hamilton was woman remarkably de-
voted to the interest of the church, and
very kind and benevolent toward every
deserving friend or object. She united
with the Congregationalist church in
1882. and on coming to this town unit
ed with the church here. When the
new COngregationalist church was built
here, she contributed literally towards
its erection, and by her will leaves sew
eral hundred dollars to be used in liqui-
dalton of the church debt, for repairs on
the church and parsonage. and as per-
petual fund, the interest of which is to
be used in the support of preaching.
She makes requests to the Woman's
State Board and to the Domestic Mis-
sionary Society. She also makes small
gifts to all her near friends. Beside hel
many tangible tokens of regard, she
leaves the sweeter remembrance of life
devoted to Christ, and to the welfare Of
those beloved. She was buried or
Thursday, her funeral sermon being
preached by the pastor, Rev. L. Phelps
at the Congregationalist church on Sun
day morning last. Her pew was drapet
in mourning and autumn leaves, and tn,
scene and the sermon were peculiarly
impressive.
