Jewett continued to make her home with
Mrs. Faucet and family, where she was be-
| loved by ALL Her sweet disposition made
for her many friends, by whom she will be
greatly missed. She was for many years

al church there,she united with the Presby-
terian church of that city and was a regu
lar attendant when her health permitted.

died suddenly at her home on LIMERICK
street, Rockland, early Wednesday morn
ing, Jan. 9th She had been in i'll health
for some years and recently had been con-
fined to her home, yet there were very few
acquaintances who deemed the illness of
such critical nature. Mrs. SimontOn was
a daughter of Daniel and PAMELA (Bick-
ford) Wadlin of Northport. She was mar
ried to Mr.. Simonton in 1851, since which time
| her home has been in Rockland. Five chill
dren were born of this union, only two of
whom survive One is Mayo p Simonton,
| who is in business in Boston, and the other
is Maurice E. Simonton, who for 16 years
| past has been in the employ of a New York
| bank.
In the death of Mrs. Simonton heavy
blow falls not only upon her family but up
on a wide circle of friends For her long
| residence in the city had brought her many
acquaintances, and none came to know her
without becoming aware OF her sweetness
of character, and of loyalty to friendships
which death alone could end. Home was
distinctively her sphere and that chosen
spot she graced with the highest devotion
as wife and mother. Its companionships
and its memories are the priceless heritage
OF those who are most closely affected by
this loss. She would have been the last
person in the world to wish to parade the
sacred fdelites which went into the happi-
ness of the home she made.
But Mrs. Simonton was not exclusively 1t
home-lover She formed warm attachments
and took pleasure inNher friends. Especial
ly for children did she have a warm place in
her heart Some now grown to manhood
and womanhoOd remember with a pang the
thoughtful kindness and ready sympathy
with which she made their childhood
brighter
Never of very robust health she bore
weakness, pain and the depressions which
weakness brings with Christian patience
and forbearance. Always one of those gen.
tie souls who commend religion by living it
rather than by talking about it, she grew
y5ar by year in maturity of faith and in de-
votion to her church. None were more
faithful in their attendance upon its ser
vices or more devoted to its interests.
The patience and uncomplaining forti-
tude with which she bore her long illness,
witnesses to the selfcommand and thought
fullness of others which were characteris-
tic of her whole life. The Christian. COM
munity has lost a faithful adherent, many
friends true counsellor and adviser, and
the home it's center of affection and loving
influence.
Mr.. Simonton and the family have the
sympathy of the entire city in this affection.
