JACKSONVILLE.


Mrs. Renewed Stanclift, who died Nov
II in this village, was the widow of Josiah
Stanclift, who died in 1859 in Halifax
Mrs. Stanclift was born and always lived
in Halifax until she moved TO this village
in 1870. She was the mother of five chill
dren, three of whom lived to grow up.
Since the death of her husband she has
lived with her oldest son, Weeks, who has
cared for his mother with true filial devo-
ton. The death of her only daughter,
Annis, which occurred in August, 1885,
was great blow to her, from which she
never recovered, as she was the one to
whom the mother naturally looked for af-
lection and care in old age and its infrm-
tiles. Mrs. Stanclift was the oldest person
in town and had lived to the great age of
% years and eight months. She had never
ridden on the cars or by stage, but twice
in her life had been as far from home as
Connecticut, and on one of these Journeys
had ridden horseback with her parents.
Aside from this she never was farther
from home than Chesterfield, n. H., Rowe,
Mass, and Readsboro. She was always
/ found at home, except as she was engaged
in caring for the sick in the neighborhood
and vicinity where she lived, for she was
an excellent nurse, and always ready and
willing to assist those in distress and trou-
/ BILE. She will long be remembered by her
| quaint sayings. Until within a year OF
! two she retained all her faculties to a re.
markable degree.
The funeral services were held at the
/ Methodist church, Rev. Mr. Abbott of Viii.
mington officiating, assisted by Rev. Mr.
| Naramore. The burial was at Halifax
/ Centre.

The most acceptable proposition that Gun he
made to persons troubled with chronic %ccl.sti-
