DEATH OF AN OLD GREENFIELD RESI-
 DENT. MISS ADELIA W. HUBBELL
 EXPIRES AT SYRACUSE, N. Y.
 The entire community was filled with profound regret, Thursday, when the sad intelligence came from Syra- cuse, N. Y., that Adelia w. Hubbell, a highly respected resident of Green field Hill, had died, October 3, at the home of her niece, Mrs Chester U. Reid, in that city. Miss Hubbell'S health had been steadily failing for several months and only upon the most urgent request of her niece did she finally consent to undertake the jour- ney so Syracuse, this fall. She was in- deed a very sick woman when she left Greenfield, a few days ago, but bright hopes that the change might improve her condition lured her from the old homestead, and accompanied by a close personal friend she made the trip without collapSing, as was expect ed. Upon the arrival at her destina- tiOn, however, she grew rapidly worse and died in spite of all that medical science could do to arrest the final dis solution. Deceased was one of large family, the daughter of the late Uriah and Priscilla Hubbell of Greenfield Hill, where she was born and where she has always lived, save for an Occa- sional visit to New York state, in the old ancestral home of her birth. From this ancient dwelling one of the oldest on Greenfield Hill has emanated pro- life race of worthy prOgenitors who have Strayed from their native village and in many instances have given good account of themselves in their re- spective communities. The passing of Miss Adelia removes the last mem- Der of the Hubbell family from our midst. A woman of quiet domestic tastes and homely virtues she was es pecially dear to those who were for tunate .enough to be brought into close and intimate relations with her.
