saw among the mourners several from
the town OF Winthrop, the place OF her
birth, and where she lived until she was
six years old, when she moved with her
parents to Dixfeld village where she con-
tinued 10 reside up TO the time OF her
death. ! noticed that the crowd OF rela-
tives embraced not only the young and the
middle aged, but also several OF the aged
and most venerable OF our citizens. Among
them were Uncle Issac Wait, aged 90
years, hale and hearty, walking upright
in the form OF his Maker, and Philip Alb
bolt aged 81 years, and our venerable old
friend Anthony Bennett now OF Bath, aged
50 years, was present being on visit to
his friends at Dixheld. There was also

to manifest their sympathy with the be-
reaved family the husband and the Oldest
son now living In Dixaeld, while her
youngest and much beloved son, Dewitt c.

way from Dakota to see her and stayed
several weeks, as long as his business
would allow, and had bid her good bye,
not expecting TO ever see her again, till
they meet, where parting shall be no more.
The address of Rev. Mr.. Hsnnaford was
very excellent and well suited to the &C.
caslon, aud the select pieces sung by the
choir were performed admirably. There
has not been funeral In Dixfeld for many
years where there were so many present,
and where there was so much feeling and
sympathy evident as at this funeral. Mrs.
Kidder was an excellent woman. She look
ell well to the affairs of her own household
possessing all those admirable qualities,
that as a wife and mother, rendered their
home, to her family and friends, peculiar
