Mrs. Winslow was born in Lowell,
Mass, February 9Th, 1897, and was the
eldest daughter Of the late Joel end Jane
W. Foss, of Dover, N. H. On the 3lst
March, 1858, she was married to Frank
FL. Winslow in Boston, Mass. In Janu-
AIRY, 1860, they left Boston for San Fran-
CISCO Cal, and residing there but short
time they left January 81, 1861, for
Port Discovery, Washington Territory,
] in the bark Ann Parry, CaftsJ MoIg-
tyre. They arrived in Port Discovery
February IA. 1861, and her husband be-
ing in the employ of the mill company
there, they remained there about nine
years, q portion Of which time Mrs.
Winslow was the only white woman in
the place. Her heart and hand were
ever open and willing to minister to the
suffering and distressed, and where there
was sickness there Mrs. Winslow was to
be found doing all in her power to ale
viate suffering humanity. Having no
children of her own her heart was large
enough to love all children with whom
she came in contact, aud after Mr.. Wood
moved lis family there his little daugh-
ter mamie" used to call her by the
name Of "Auntie Frank" bv which
name the children ever knew her during
her long residence there. In 1870 her
husband moved to Port Townsend, hav-
ing received an appointment as Inspec.
tor in the custom House, where they
have ever since resided. Mrs. Winslow
was extravagantly fond of flowers, and
it was her delight to cultivate and grow
the choicest kinds, particularly those
which could be used and were most ac-
ceptable in decorating the collins and
graves of dear friends passed away
About four years slpce her health be ,an
to fail her and she was compelled to cur
tail and diminish her deeds Of charity
and her errands of mercy, but though
from weakness being unable to visit in
person yet many were the little deeds Of
love and mercy performed through 9TH
ers by her warm and sympathizihg heart,
and probably there are none who will be
missed in our community more than will
be Mrs. Winslow. During her sicAness
her strong will power was ever battling
with Death and bidding him depart.
Ever hopeful, ever cheerful, she feared
him not, desiring only to live for her
husbands sake, having perfect trust
and confidence Of a life beyond the
grave. But when, at last, convinced that
there was no hope, and that death was
near at hand, she made her preparations
with GOODNESS and calmness, giving direc-
tions as to her funeral and whom she de-
sired to prepare her for her final resting
place in the casket. Her sufferings were
great and yet she bore them all without
a murmur-without complaint-desir-
ing only to live for the sake of her dear
husband; and when at last the moments
drew nigh when she could keep death no
longer away, and her lips were growing
cold with the damps of death, she en-
braced her fond husband, and giving
him long and loving kiss, sank back
in her chair, and soon her pure spirit
winged its flight to its loving Father
above. She has passed over the river,
we shall hear her cheerful voice no
more, we shall see her pleasant and
happy smile no more but though passed
away forever from our earthly vision, yet
her memory will ever be fresh and green
in the hearts of all those who knew only
to love her. And in this sad hour OF
trial and atlliction her stricken husband
has the sympathy of the whole commu-
nifty. Truly may it be said that the
world was better because of her having
lived in it, and this community, where
she was 50 well and fGvorably known,
will long have in remembrance the deeds
of love and mercy done by Mrs. Wins
