DEATH OF MRS HUBBRLL.

The community of this village was shocked and saddened last Friday morn ing by the very sudden death of Clara Averell Hubbell. wife of Wm. R. Hub bell. It was especially startling inas- much as she had been about the village in her usual good spirits and had even taken an early morning drive to Chapin- vile with her husband. Mrs Hubbell was the only child of the late Dr James Averell of this place. Born in Meriden, Ct., March 20. 1870. she came here with her parents when but three years old and remained until the death of her father in 1887. She then went away to school, first at Claverick, then to the New Britain Normal School from which she graduated in June 1890. She taught in Hartford until the summer of 1892 Oct. 18th of that year she was married to Wm. R Hubbell, one of the most highly respected and esteemed young men in this section. During the brief six and one-hslf years of their married life their lot has been a happy one and their union blessed with one son, Averell Woodward Hubbell, now little more than five years of age, to whom his mother was more than devo- ted. Though kind and friendly to all, Mrs Hnbbell chose but few intimate friends but to those few she revealed most affectionate, generou, and noble character, and by them her loss will be most keenly felt. Beuntifully supplied with this worlds goods herself, her greatest pleasure seemed to be in doing for those less favored than she. The l. z1 l. I~k k1 1nn on Monday. May 10th at 30 p. m.
