sphere can point to a life lived for 9TH
ers, sinking self, pointing others, by
our example, to a higher mode of
thought and living? Such refined and
gentle women as Mrs. Maltby are
scarce in this world. Wealth did not
dry up her heart or increase her pride
friends and to give them chance to
lean on the arm of one kind earthly
friend.
There is no one who can forget her
many kindnesses, her words of advice
and help to those in trouble. Having
| considerable business attachments, she
| could always give advice that would
be of value
| Many mistakes occurring in a former
article of an esteemed contemporary,
| it will not be amiss to state the facts
concerning her ancestry. Her father
was a native of New Jersey, General
Nathaniel Board, a man of high politi-
cal standing in those days of slavery.
| But he did not approve of slavery. He
resided at Boardville, named in his
of wealth and kept large store in
those days, and his daughter (the de-
ceased) was his efficient clerk All of
Mrs. Maltbys relatives are residents of
New Jersey, except few residing in
! New York state. Mrs. Maltby's only
sister living resides in New Jersey, and
| not in Pennsylvania Mrs. Maltby's
| husband, O. E. Maltby, was a son of
Rev. Jonathan Maltby who owned for
ty acres of land extending from Batch
| ley avenue to Mill river. The little
white stone house was his home at the
end of GAINESVILLE bridge. The son, o.
E., after amassing fortune at Charles
ton, S. c., and New York city, where
he entered into partnership of Star
& Maltby, hat and fur merchants, came
to Fair Haven, where his father donat-
| ed him twenty acres of land, wherein
| he erected an elegant mansion at a
cost of $4,000. The walls of the lower
| floor are fifteen feet high. The beauti-
full greenhouse and grapery with a spa
cious barn. made, together with the
mansion, a most costly country seat.
Large punches of dollhouse grapes,
| weighing seven pounds, sold for seven
| ty-five cents per pound, so that the
grapes, with the large quantities of
raspberries and small fruits and vege-
tables. brought in an ample income
In the greenhouse were large rose
bushes, one, twenty years old, which
annually bore five thousand lie Mark
roses. Majestic tulip trees and south
ern pine trees gave the front lawn a
most attractive appearance.
All these have passed away, and only
the house and a few lots are left of thi;
once magnificent and grand estate
Truly, time makes great wrecks of oul
earthly possessions. But while all this
vast and costly estate has gone, yet in
the hearts of her friends Mrs. Maltby
will still linger, and it will be never
that they will see her like again. Only
the good and true find loving remem
brance in our hearts. Their virtues
their cheering example, their fortitudt
under all conditions, do not fade from
our view To be noble, to be good an6
wise is to be revered and loved.
Though she rests With God, though
her kind and pleasant face and man
ner can greet us no longer, her dear
friends will cherish her sweet memory
And though dead, yet doth she live
May her life and death lead all t.
initiate her example-to be clothed with
righteousness. charity, spotless ant
without blemish A FRIEND.
