DEATH OF MRS JULIA M. WHEATON.

DEATH OF MRS JULIA M. WHEATON.
 The death of Mrs Julia M. Wheaton, last week, removes from Baldwin Hill the last of the Baldwins who have in- habited that bleak plain for over a cen- tury. There is something unique and strange in the fact that the last of her race, to dwell there, should have been a woman born and bred there, married and settled down and raised family and still clung to the old ancestral home so left it nearly to the allotted ''three score and ten." Her three children are Mrs Dewitt Platt, George Wheaton and Mrs Francis Baldwin. Her elder sister, Mrs Eliza Cogswell of Marbledale, ,and broth CTS, Elijah Baldwin of Chicago, Ill.,, and Abiel Baldwin, Washington, survive her. In her girlhood days and maiden hood, she was sprightly, alert and quick at repartee and no young peoples gathering seemed complete without her, and her home was fa- vorite resort for young people from all the country round. Frank Titus, who preceded her but few days ago to the "Better land,'' was groomsman there at wedding of a younger sister in those early days. At that time Sunday was understood to commence at sundown Saturday night and end at sundown Sum- day night. As the sun set in Marketable 15 or 20 minutes before it did on the Hill, it enabled the beaux in Marblebale to start on Sunday night and by walking slowly keep just below the shadow line and arrive on the Hill. two or three min utes after sundown without breaking the Sabbath. After her marriage com pleIe change came over her, and she found all her pleasure and happiness in her home and could hardly be induced to go into society, except on the most ex- traordinary occasions. And this fol- lowed her through life, and as we have said, ever after she clung tenaciously to her ancestral home. Even long after ward, though it seemed to others that she would be happier and better off else where, but she could not be made to see it. Her love of the old homestead was too strong. Thus ends for this particu- lar locality the distinctive race of this branch of the numerous Baldwin family (descendents of three brothers numbering from recent genealogies over 10000, who have occupied these ancestral acres for something over 100 years. It is said that the great grandfather who first settled there was making brick down in Poplar swamp in the southern part of his possessions at the time of the ssdark 1ay.'' The writer remembers seeing

wAsHINGroN's OLDEST CITIZEN.

The gentleman who enjoys the distinc- tion of being the oldest living male resi- dent of Washington, with possibly one exception, is William ODell of South street, who will celebrate his S3d birth day on March 13. MT O'Dell was born on that day, the year lSll. He came to Washington a barefooted boy, with all his possession tied up in red pocket handkerchief. This was about the year 1921 and he hired out to his rncle, Will liam O'Dell, who manufactured hats, ln a shop near where the stone school house now stands. His employer was the present William O'Delns uncle and at the occupation of hat making he en- ployed 10 to 20 men. He manufactured fur hats, which cost from SIP down to $3, according to the skin used. He con- tinued in his employ for seven years After that for l2 years he worked as foreman in Andrus Weller's shop at Vel
 ler's Bridge, Roxbury. He was also employed in other shops in Roxbury ano Brdgewater. Later on he went in tC the manufacture of hat boxes with his son, w. T. O'Dell, with whom he now resides, in "The HolIow," on the roac below Dr Browns. In 1862 with his sor he bought the Merritt Beach place where they now reside. MT O'Dell has been hard worker, as he says, and k still able to be about. Mir O'Dells fath CTS name was Nehemiah Smith O'Dell He was native of Bedding. Speaking of the changes time brings, he said every thing was changed. There are few peo pie, in town now, if any, who were alive when he came to Washington. Medat Goodsell, now dead, came to Washington l the same year he did, locating in Mar bledale. Speaking of his experiences he said he was on the train at the timt of the fearful Norwalk disaster, whel the train plunged into the open draw and 50 or more were killed. He was il rear car and escaped with some broker ribs. Although he has now passed tn
 four score line, he keeps up his interes
 in current events. His son, William T O'Dell, who now manages the farm, be
 lieves in keeping up with the times. H
 has a telephone in his home, and can cal
 up New Milford or Waterbury at hi pleasure. TIE BEES scribe extends hi congratulations to the venerable M
 O'Dell, and trusts he may live to enjo
 many more birthdays.
