she lost her father, and when twelve years
old with her mother. sister and brothers,
removed to Lawrence She studied in the
public schools Of thi, city, entering, but not
graduating from, the High School.
Five years ago she entered the establish
ment Of Nrssrs. a. Sharpe \ Co., Essex
street, wnere she was employed in the cloak
room. Her unusual energy and persever-
ance, with fidelity in the discharge Of her
duties, made her exceedingly efficient in this
position, and her services were highly
priced. Two wear, ago she was prostrated
BY severe illness which lasted ,eyera,
months. /, was then made evident that
her constitution was not strong. The DIST
Of last February she vas taken sick again,
and though fatal result was not al first
anticipated, yet as time passed and improve
ment was very slow, those who watched
over her with afectionate care could not
always allay their fears. About the middle
of June she was sufficiently strong 10 90 to
Providence 10 visit her sister, Mrs. Rhoades
and month later She went 70 Block Island
fit her. Some improvement was noticeable,
but when the days grew colder there came
loss of appetite and failing strength. About
three weeks ago she returned to Providence.
For some time no conspicuous change oc-
Cured, but on Sunday, Aug. 30, pneumonia
set in, and from that time her decline was
rapid. She fell asleep at 1890, \. NJ,
Thursday, Sept. 3.
Miss Hastings was of a peculiarly frank
and open disposition. Than this perhaps,
no characteristic was more marked. Ama-
Bile among her associates, faithful to her
friends, an atiectionate sister. a devoted
daughter, she is deeply and widely mourned.
Four years ago she was baptized into the
membership Of the First Baptist church.
When she knew that she could not llve, she
was sustained BY confident hope of a
bright immortality, and with her last breath
voiced the sacred happiness which filed her
soul as eternity drew near.
The surviving members Of her family are !:
her mother, Mrs. A. ID. Hastings. one sis
ter, Mrs. J. ID. Rhoades, of Providence, r.
l., and four brothers, two of whom are well
known business men III this city, third is
a grocer in Boston, and the fourth lives in
California.
The funeral services were conducted at
the residence Of her sister in Providence, by
Rev. Richard Montague, who had baptized
her four years ago, and the remains were
taken to Ellsworth Me-, for interment. -
