ton of the Union, was taken prisoner at
Spottsylvania In May, 1864, and died at
Florence, S. g., after nine months imprison-
mcnt and four years of service in the cause of

many years-died with consumption, and
when seven months afterward the soldier boy

this memoir has borne intense suffering
uncomplainingly, but few realizing tire ex-
tent because of her remarkable cheerfuness,
which virtue remained with her TO the end
and, combined with her Christian faith,
enabled her to meet death with great COM
posture. In early life she united with the
Presbyterian church and was one of eleven to
aid in the organization of the Presbyterian
ciurch in Ithaca, where she has ever since
retained her membership. Three daughters,
two sons and an adopted son. survive her and
