Jenkins, wife of Aaron G. Hitchcock, pass
ed away, aged 20 years. She had been IN
for some time. Her death, caused by in
ability to take nourishment, was not un-
expected. The deceased was a native of
Kirby, and was one OF eleven children. OF
that family only four members now sur
vive; one brother in Il. Burke and one ia
Iowa, one sister in Walden and one IN the
state Of Washington. The deceased at
tended the academies at Derby, Lyndon,
and st. Johnsbury. She also had expert
ence as a school teacher. In the spring of
1S49, she united in marriage with Aaron
G. Hitchcock, prosperous farmer living
just out OF this village, and entered the
household which was her home ever after.
Two sons and a daughter was the fruit OF
this union. The sons both died after at
tanning manhood. The daughter, Mrs. III.
o. Miller, has always remained with her
parents. Mrs. Hitchcock was woman Of
and culture. II was natural
for her to be a lady, and her clear intellect,
keen humor, pleasant words, and bright
smiles made her most agreeable friend
and associate. Industrious and iudicious,
hospitable and charitable her life has been
one of great usefulness. Since she came
to town, AZ years ago, generation has
been born, reared, welded, and many Of
them laid away TO rest, and now she has
gone for, ''we all do fade as a leaf" Yet
her friends do not mourn for her as those
who mourn without hope, for she was
ready and anxious 20 meet her Lord. In
1850 she removed her relations from
church in Lyndon to the Cong. church.
For many years she was prominent ia
church work, and teacher in the Sunday
school. For few years past, sickness and
