Born just over the line on Village Hill in Willington, the long years of her useful and happy life after marriage were passed here at the Hollow, where with great decsion of character and clear eyed prudence she was a help-mate indeed to her husband, in the building of his for tune and the gaining of a high position among the leading aitizens of the town. She was also devoted mother, domestic and fond of home, and kind neighbor Though left at her husbands death with an ample fortune she continued in the simple habits and thrifty ways of less af- fluent times, while with an unostentatious grace she was ever ready to lend her sym pathy and aid to the needy and suffering. She was, like her husband, faithful sup porter of the Universalist parish, in which | they were respected and honored not more for their generous and steady contribu- tions than for their good name and high standing in the community at large. Though aged and worn with disease, her death will be sorroWed oyer by all who knew her, and the lesson of her life and sterling virtues will long be remembered. She leaves of her immediate family, @ daughter, Esther, wife of MT. E. o. Pin ney, and three grandsons also 8 sister and two brothers, like herself aged. M.
