Mrs. Henrietta Maria Hatch was born
in Washington, Vt, July 4th, 1900. She
Hatch, May 10, 1927. Their welded life
extended over period OF 43 yrs, and 8
children formed their family circle. Her
husband died May 18th, 1870; since which
time widow Hatch has been an inmate of
the home OF her daughters, Mrs. Aurora
Brown, who died three years ago. and Miss
Levira g. Hatch, who has had the care Of
her mother since that time. Mrs. Hatch
dad Dec 26 1890, after an illness which
har Tn hn had aralu txun doua
Her funeral was attended Sunday Dec. 2S,
Rev. II. f. Reynolds officiating. Thus a
long and useful life has ended; and she
has gone to reap the reward that is prom
ised to those that endure unto the end.
She was permitted the great JOY and COM
fort OF meeting all OF her living children
during her last sickness and of bidding
them farewell and Offering to them her
parting counsel, and receiving from her
dear ones words of cheer and consolation
With mind that retained all its faculties
10 an unusual degree, and a memory that
was clear, and retentive OF the events of
her life, even down to early childhood,
what long retrospect she could take, and
how interesting the "reminiscences of a
life extending over so long period, those
who enjoyed the privilege OF her conversa-
tion, well know. The influence of such a
life Is very far reaching. To children's
children the great boon of pure life has
flown out and only in eternity will its real
value be fully shown. When we recall the
patient unselhshness and constant care
and kindness shown in the rearing of q
family Of nine children (eight of whom
lived to have families of their own and
remember with what zeal she always strove
for the advancement and happiness of
those whom God had entrusted to her care.
We can but feel that 1t was right and Just
that her last DAYS should have been so ten
Derby and faithfully cared f-r bF the de-
votion and constant assiduity of two of
her daughters; and that all of he chill
dren deemed it rare pleasure to be per-
mitted to gather around her and from
grateful hearts offer their tribute of love
and respect.
