Mrs. Lydia A. Rogers died of pneu-
monia at her home in Troy, Monday |
of last week, aged SO years. Mrs. |
Rogers was the daughter of Lawyer
Samuel Sumner of Troy, Il descend
ant of the Summers of Massachusetts /
and the Child family of New York.
She was a sister of Mrs. V. D. Fitch |
of this place When quite young she
married DR., Albert S. Rogers, who |
died about ten years ago. Nearly all |
her married life was spent in Troy. |
Two of her four children, Frank, a
lawyer at Troy, and Edward, for
merly in trade here, survive her. Mrs. |
Rogers resided in this village for Il |
few years, and was highly esteemed |
by all. 4 woman of rare intelligence, |
not only well informed regarding cur |
rent events, but earnestly devoted to |
literature, and of a wonderfully re-
tentive memory, it was pleasure to !
converse with her upon almost any
topic. She was n consistent Christ
ian, firm in her belief, and strongly
asserted this in both her daily life
and conversation. In her death her |
sons lose a loving mother, and the
world a true and noble woman.
One of the pleasantest events of
the season was the costume party
last Wednesday evening. There was
Il large attendance of spectators, and
the number of those who appeared in
costumes was as great as at any
ever held here before. At eight
O'Clock occurred the entree of the
masqueraders, who, to the inspiring
strains of Rollin Paul's orchestra,
took part in the grand march. There
were q great variety of costumes,
representing cavaliers, Knights, Buff
faio Bill, Red Riding Hood. tambour-
inc girl, peasant girl, ballet girl,
Spanish gentlemen, Mexican gentle
man, gentlemen of ye olden time, Po-
cahontas, good luck, Turkish lady,
Mother Hubbard, Highland lassie, and
so on ad infnitUn, Nearly all of the
costumes were handsome, there be-
inc but few of a comic or grOtesque
character. The scene was a brilliant
one. and, while it was very easy to
recognize many of the persons
masked, it was a long time before
the majority were known, and some
not until the dominoes Tin which
nearly all.appeared) were removed.
After unmasking, refreshments were
served, then came marching, games,
| (inwhich the ''old boys took a most
lively part) and a social time gener-
ally. The affair was also a success
financially, and the proceeds will in
crease the bell fund perceptibly.
