She married VIM. Hastings Dec. 6, 1886,
and moved to Jamaica, and for nearly 80
years they were residents of that town,
Mr.. Hastings taking a leading part in the
prosperity of the town. She was woman
of energy, of refined taste and was ever
ready to lend a helping hand in time of
need. She united early with the Metho-
dist church. to which she has ever been
conscientious and faithful member. Mr..
and Mrs. Hastings's golden wedding was
observed Dec. 6, 1856, at their daughters
in Brookline, where they had moved to
spend their last days. She leaves two sons,
A. W. Hastings of Jefferson, Iowa, and
W. H. Hastings of Green River, and one
daughter, Mrs. c. P. Stckney of this town,
who has tenderly and lovingly cared for
her upwards of four years, and in the try
ing hours of her last sickness has been as
sisted by Mrs. Sarah u. COOmDs, niece,
who was indeed help in time of need.
