place ON the 9TH inst this community has lost one
of its most ostimable members. Mrs Barstow was
born IN BratlehOro, VI, the fourth daughter of Ru
fus and sally aoodenough Clark, and at the time Of
her death had passed her esd birthday. She was ed.
ucated at Mrs. Phepss school, westchester, Pa. be-
came the wife Of Rev. Il. Hale BarBtow who for aome
years was the pastor Of the Congregational church at
Walpoe, n. H., aud was afterwards at the head Of
private school in Newton, Mass. Mr.. Barstow with
his family subsequently moved to Hayerhil N IL
where he died soon after and Mrs Barstoy has con.
tinued to reside here In her house on Court ~ I'm
her death on sunday morning at 8 o'clock Four
children survive her, two sons and two dauphters
one son living in the west, another sudying for the
ministry, now with his elder sister, teacher In Brad
ford academy, Mass, in Europe and a younger
daughter teaching in Portland, Me- Mrs. Baratow
had living with her at the time of her DEATH her aged
mother, nearing her Goth birthday, and deprived of
her sight some years, woman Of rare character and
grace OF manners, speech and presence. With her
was also an elder sister, wife OF the late Rev. James
Aiken. IN the death of Mrs. Barstow, the living of
her family have met with an irroparable loss None
knew her but to love her-of graceful person and
presence, winning and refined in speech aud man
ners, glad and hopeful Of face, with true motherly
devotion to her family Of the enderest hlal regard
for the comfort and happiness Of the aged mother
kind and condescending to her interiors without sac
rihcing her innate dignity Of character and over aud
above all the graces Of noble, Christian life She
was never demonstrative but always efficient aud
practical with high Ideals and ever ready in every
good work. We have many noble and true women ia
our community, but none would dispute the worth
and graces of their departed neighbor and sister By
her sudden aud sad death, all hearts filled with
unfeigned sorrow. The immediate cause of Mrs
Baratows death was severe fall on Wednesday last
from which she never rallied and after suffering in
tense pain she died Sunday morning, most of the
congregation with which she was accustomed to wor-
ship receiving the hrst news of her death ns they
were gathering for morning service. Her remains
are carried to BrattebOrO VT, where lie buried her
husband and other members of the family
