 For mated life full orbed and pure;
 The dearest gift of God above,

He is son of the late Willis Hemingway. There were eleven children of which only Willis Hemingway, Anson Hemingway of Chicago and Mrs. P. A. Futile survive. It is singular coinci-
 dence that none of MT. Hemingway's branch of the family has died. His chill dren are the wife of Rev. Joseph Cook, the great Boston preacher and lecturer Willis E. Hemingway of Meriden, C. S. Hemingway of .Holyoke and F. Howard
 Hemingway of Fair Haven. There are seven grandchildren.
