A telegram was received Friday, the
7th. inst, from Jackson, Michigan, an
nouncing the sudden death of Mrs. n.
B, Hall, that morning. Nothing further
has been received, and it undoubtedly
was from heart disease, as she some
times showed symptoms of such a diff
ficulty. She was the daughter of Henry
r. and Harriet Z. Rouse, who resided
in Bennington for many years. She was
born in Pittstown, N. Y, April 9th,
1929, her maiden name being Martha
Bostwick Rouse. She, with her husband
and their three children, removed to
Jackson about twenty-five years since,
where he died June It'll, 1892. She
leaves daughter, Mrs. Harriet B. Ken
edy with three sons, young men, a son,
Harry r. Hall with two children, and
Mrs. Dolly Blanchard with one child.
She was a faithful and devoted wife and
mother, making the home pleasant and
attractive. Her generous heart was
awake to every call for help and sym
pathy, and thus her life was spent in do
ing good in whatever situation she was
placed. Her many relatives and friends
here feel deeply her loss and extend
much sympathy to those more nearly
connected.
Mrs. Frank L. Martin, whose funeral
occurred Monday afternoon at o'clock,
from the Congregational church, had
for more than year been failing in
health, and as her malady was consump-
ton, it seemed a wonder that she did
not sooner yield to its fatal grasp. She
died Saturday, the Sth inst, after being
confined to her bed about four weeks.
She was married February 10Th, 1882,
and would have thirty-fve years old the
18th of October next. Her maiden
name was Laura Genelia Hawley, and
her early home was in Cambridge, N.
Y. She united with the Congregational
church January It'll, 1894, on confession
of faith, and with increasing delight and
satisfaction, enjoyed so far as health
would permit, her church privileges.
When through weakness and inability
to attend t. the domestic duties of her
household, she became sweetly resigned
to the will of her Heavenly Father, and
commencing her loved ones to His Di-
vine keeping, made arrangements for
the funeral services, her reason holding
sway until the last. She leaves, besides
her husband, three children; Nellie,
eleven, Charles, seven, and Erwin, near
ly two years old. The Rev. G. H. Peck
officiated at the funeral, assisted by the
Rev. r. B. Tozer. The remarks were
founded upon Math. xi:28; Come I'M
to Me, all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and will give you rest" and her
acceptance of the call, with the rest and
peace which were so evidently hers,
were held up as a boon for any who will
accept the kind invitation. The singing
was by G. w. Shaw, B. T. Henry, Miss
Mabel White and Mrs, H. T. Cushman,
Miss F. g. Towsley presiding at the or
gan. The bearers were E. D. yelling,
George Stanley, Edward Lewis, F. L.
BOttum, German Matteson and Scott
Minott. The interment was at South
SALISBURY, all under the direction of
Horace Woodman, undertaken. Mr..
Martin would thank the neighbors and
friends for the many kindnesses and at
tentions which have been so freely be-
slowed during the sickness of his de-
parted wife.
