 Mrs Mabel Hyde was taken with a paralytic shock at the home of her son. Alonzo Hyde, Seaview avenue, Bridge port, Saturday evening, l6th, at z o'clock. remaining unconscious until the hour of her death at s o'clock, Tuesday morning, 18th. She was born in West Haven, September 16, 1799. When quite young, she moved with her parents to Dutchess county, New York, where she lived until 1927, when she became the second wife of Obadiah Hyde, who brought her to Walnut Tree Hill, Hunt ington, living in the house now owned by Elisha Hubbell, where they lived for several years. After several changes, Mir Hyde built the house where F. w. Wooster now lives. Here they lived until she was taken sick and they were obliged to break up. For while after the death of her husband, she kept house, but for a number of years she has lived with her children. Soon after coming to this place, she became mem- Der of St. Paul's Episcopal church, where she was an active worker for many years. Being of a social nature and fond of society, she made many friends among her neighbols, wherever she lived. The eldest but one of a fam fly of eight children, she has outlived them all except one brother, who is quite feeble. Being of strong, robust constitution, she never knew what it was to suffer pain, except as she had in- cipient paralysis, which weakened her mind, but not her body. Until the last year, her hearing and eyesight were better than those of many at 70 and she was spryer than many at 60. Her re- mains were brought from Bridgeport and carried into St. Paul's church.

 The road workers are at work on th' roads near Shelton, going with OK teams from the western part of town, some O. them from near the Monroe line.
