a Real Daughter Dead.

Mrs. Abigail Allen Rogers entered
into rest the morning of October "a,
aged % years and six months.
She was born in Pomfret, Conn. AT
the age of four years her parents moved
to farm in what is called Whipple
Hollow, in the town of Pittsford, where
she resided several years, when her par
ents again moved to Sudbury In this
town, a few years later, her father
died.
In March, 1885. she was married to
Robert Fl. Rogers, of Orwell where they
resided many years. They came to
Middlebury to reside about "a years ago.
Her husband died in January, 1884, and
she has since been an inmate of the
family of her son, Isaac l.. Rogers.
She was remarkably active and in
good health until her seth year. when
she fell and had a hip broken, from
which she never recovered the use of
her limbs, and for nine years and seven
months has been confined to her bed
Her life, through these years. has been
one of patience and resignation. She
has never caused her attendants an
unnecessary step, always accomplishing
cheerful, pleased and so thankful for
everything that was done for her. For
six years she was a great reader, her
Bible, and good books, being great
comfort to her. At the age of 80 years
her memory was unimpaired. She fur
nlshed from memory all dates and names
necessary to secure proofs of her father S
service in the Revolutionary war, when
she joined the Ethan Allen chapter,
ID. A. r., of Middlebury, as real
daughter of the Revolution. She had
one of the gold spoons that are presented
by, the national order to all real d. a.
RS.
For the past three and one-half years,
the strong mind has failed and she has
been living in the days of her childhood.
Most tenderly she has been cared for,
during all these years, by her sons wife,
Mrs. Isaac Rogers, assisted many times,
for weeks together by the widow of her
son George, Mrs. Emily f. Rogers.
