Betsey Phelps Judd.

Mrs Betsey Phelps Judd. born in Ca nasn, Conn, March 13, 1916, died in Lakeville, Conn.,, June IF. 1900. She was the youngest of the ten children of Daniel Phelps and Polly Hewitt his wife, daughter of Capt Gershom Hewitt of Canaan, soldier of the Revolution.
 Her father Daniel Phelps son of John Phelps and Desire Holt of Norfolk, Conn ., was born in Norfolk in 1770 and at nineteen years of age moved with his father to Canaan Mountain and settled on the shore of Lake Wangum.
 It is of interest to note that Mrs Judd although the youngest member of her family, outlived all of her brothers and sisters, several of whom settled in the West, where their descendants now live Her life was spent in Canaan up to 1869 when she went to Salisbury, and was, at the time of her death, one of the old est persons in that town.
 On Dec. 29, 1844 she was married to Lucius filling Judd of Canaan, who died in that place in 1862. The issue of this marriage, four children, Della, Lucius and Grove W. of Lakeville and Mary (Mrs Morris) of New Haven, are still living. M. D. R.

The Cranford Reception.

The Cranford Club is one of the la dies clubs of Canaan. Every thing Crahford excludes the men, but perhaps 'tis better so occasionally. The Cran- ford club gave reception to their lady friends last Thursday afternoon at the Town Hall, and we are told that the affair was most enjoyable and that there was large attendance. The hall was more prettily trimmed than ever before with flags, bunting, laurel, ferns and cut flowers most artistically arranged. Vleing in beauty with the decorations were the handsome gowns worn by the ladies.
