AS was noticed last week, Mrs. n. f.
Lamb died on Saturday, January It'll,
after lingering sickness of several years.
The marriage of Mr.. Lamb and Miss
Edna, daughter of the late Nairn Bur
CESS of Hoosick occurred June 25, 1884,
in few weeks they came to live in the
Mllington residence, he had recently
purchased just over the line in Shafts
bury. She was born on the 10Th of Feb
ruary 1874, and was consequently As years
old last February. She was of IA nervous
temperament and from disease became
gradually greater sufferer, so that for a
long period prior to her decease, from her
peculiar situation, she was the subject of
much solicitude. Mr.. Lamb and those
whom he entrusted to care for her. were
assiduous in their endeavors for her com
fort, and when the time came for her de-
parture, it could not but be felt it was
her gain. The friends 'Of Mr.. Lamb, a
sister and others of Norway, Me-, were de-
tered from being present at the funeral
by sickness and distance at this inclem-
ent season. The funeral services were
attended by large number of kindred
and friends, many from Hoosick who had
been intimate with her and know her
worth. Thus a large circle of friends
and acquaintance have been called to
mourn the loss of one whom they deeply
loved. Rev. Chas. II. Peck spoke words
of comfort to the sorrowing friends, and
after singing by W. G. Shaw, S. B. Hall
and Mrs. f. D. Whipple, the iEterment
was in the cemetery near the Thomas
Sweet residence in Hoosick, DR.. L.B.New-

Col. j. H. Walbridge reckoned up the
ages of his three aunts and two uncles,
now living, January 9Th, and found the

hope and perhaps expectation, that the
