MRS. sELLECK PASSED AWAY
 AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING
Widow of the Late Judge SeIIeck, of Sweet Disposition and Kindly Acts,
 Dies at Her Home.

Mrs Susan Frances. Harrington, widow of the late Judge Andrew Sel- leclx, died at her home on Main street yesterday afternoon at o'clock. She was born in Wilton, April 5, 1882. For many years Judge and Mrs. Selleck lived in Norwalk where the husband practiced' law and was judge of the town court. Upwards of twenty-five years ago the family removed to Stratford and located in the handsome residence on Main street which the fly has since resided. Mrs. Selieck was of quiet, retiring disposition, seldom leaving her home.s The shock lof the death of her husband, which the devoted wife never fully recover sSd. Since that time she had been almost an invalid. The end came peacefully like gentle slumber.4 The thread of life strained to the utmost parted without shock. One daughter remains, Miss LiIlis M. Selleck, who is the last of her race both on her fath- CTS and mothers side,
 Mrs. Selleck was a member of Christ church but has not been ac- tive in the church for many years on by everyone for her sweet disposition and her kindly and generous acts. Her unostentatious charities are num- berleSS. She never turned a deaf ear to suffering and many families in the town will mourn her loss as that of their best friends. The daughter was devoted to her mother and for two years has not left the house devoting her whole time and energy to her mother. Blessed with large means. Mrs Selleck considered that those in poorer circumstances should receive her attention and she never failed to respond to appeals for assistance.
 The remains will be taken to Nor walk for burial after services at the residence by the Rev. N. Ellsworth Cornwall of Christ church, on Satur- day morning at 1O:30.
