A petition signed by large number of Gill
Eens in the southe Istern portion of the city

TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF Mas. Hunt.
INGToE.-Rev. DR.. Benton, President of the
Pacific Theological Seminary aRd editor-in.
chief Of the Pacific, thus speaks of Mrs. G.
P. Huntington, formerly of Sacramento, and
who died on the 9Th instant at New York :
Though she had lived in New York nearly
twenty years, she had not forgotten Cali
fornis, nor the years of her Sacramento life,
nor the many friends che had made and re-
tanned on these shores, which she loved to
visit, and visited almost every year. Mis-.
Huntington was one of the most beautiful
and attractive of ladies when the writer first
met her, thirty-two years ago, and no woman
ever changed less than she up to the time Of
her mortal sickness. Oar acquaintance with
her was renewed, and our regard for her
deepened and freshened by having had
guest-home at her elegant mansion during
the summer of 1882. Mrs. Huntington did
not care to be considered society woman
though she could have adorned such a posi-
ton. She was rather a model wife, fine
housekeeper, and fond of home and those
who made it pleasant home. To sweet
nature, loving disposition and bright
spirit, she added pious heart. She was ever
busy with works of active benevolence and
generous giving She loved her church, and
she took q lsborious part in managing and
sustaining great institution for the care and
comfort of the afflicted and the unfortunate.
She was person to be loved, re-
lied on, conGded in, and implicitly trusted.
She will be greatly missed and sincerely
mourned everywhere. Losses come daily,
but such loss comes rarely. And 30, with
this poor tribute, we clasp hands with the
inner and outer circles of those who mourn
over another sanity soul and another Dor.
