Lucy. widow of the late Capt. Jesse Hosmer,
died August 9th at her home in Camden at the
advanced age of 90 years. She had been in
feeble health for many years and during that
time was most tenderly cared for by her three
daughters, Emily P. Hosmer, Dora T. Hosmer
and Mrs. B. D. E. Huse all of Camden. She
was woman of beautiful character and to
know her was to love her. The deceased was
born in Camden and was the daughter of the
late Captain and Mrs. William Blake and had
always been resident of that place. Beside
the three daughters who survive her is one
grandson, Arthur Huse, who was idolized by
his grandmother. The deepest sympathy of
her many friends is rendered the bereaved
relatives.
