 The End Came cefully-Deceased
 Had Been in a Comatose State for the Last Two Weeks, Her Death | Daily Expected A Great Grand 1 daughter of Noah Webster
 In the death of Mrs. Hotchkiss, be-
 loved wife of Henry l.. Hotchkiss, which occurred at 12:30 o'clock Sunday morning at her home on Hillhouse ave- nue, has passed away a lady of many | graces of heart and life, a woman who adorned the highly influential circle of | New Haven society in which she moved and whose death, while yet there had
 seemed many years of usefulness be- | fore her, brings deep and abiding sor-
 row to many hearts. Born and reared amid cultivated surroundings and en- vironment, of a family which had given | to our community and country names | highly honored, she grew up to the du- ties of wifehood and motherhood, dis charging these and the thousand and one other duties which fell to her in her
 high social life and as a bountiful en- tertainer, with sweet grace and wo- manliness, potent charm of manner
 and wholesome, joyous activity that makes her death felt as a great loss not
 only to the honored family deprived of wife and mother. but to the community at large It seems but as yesterday that she was in the full activity of an effective and favorite worker and nov ing spirit in many channels of social and charitable endeavor and now the cry comes to stricken hearts, "Oh! for the touch of vanished hand and the sound of voice that is still" Many will miss her. among them many who will recall her thoughtful and kindly charities that lessened many burden and frightened many humble home. It may be said of her that she was uni versally beloved.
