DEATH OF MISS DENISON.


 Miss Mary A. Denison died Tuesday morning at o'clock, from the result of the accident which took place on the 9th of May. She was great sufferer and death came as happy relief. She was in the 74th year of her age and died on the hour on which she was born. After the death of her parents she lived with her brother, William T. Denison, and since his death has kept house alone, though hardly ever with out some one of her sisters or nephews and nieces being with her. She was a woman of great industry and thrift and her place was one of the best cultivated and we'll kept in town. A cheerful disposition and a generous hospitality were characteristic of her life. For many years she and her bachelor brother lived together in the old homestead until the fearful accident occurred which led to his death. With her dies the Denison name, so long prom inent in Bedding, though large family through the female line survive her. She leaves three sisters, Mrs Abby J. Jennings of Norwalk, Mrs Elizabeth Warehouse and Mrs Clarissa Warehouse of Sharon, and numerous nephews and nieces. A strange fatality seems to have attended the family. Many years ago James Denison died from lockjaw caused by his hand being lacerated in a thresh- ing machine. Subsequently his only son, when young man, died from the same disease. About three years ago William T., while riding on load of straw which he was taking to Danbury, was thrown off and sustained injuries that led to his death, and now Miss Mary dies from an accident. Truly the ways of Providence are mysterious. The funeral services will take place at Christ church of which she was 8 mem Der on Friday, the 25th, and she will be buried in the family plot in the Ridge cemetery, where repose the remains of her parents and two brothers.
