Death of Mrs. kingdom.

l
Mrs. Naomi t. Kingdom died at hel
home in Burlington. Thursday evening.
She had been In poor health for a long
time, and during the past two years had
been many times close to deaths door,
but a remarkable constitution sustained
her, and she was spared to her family,
although not able to get far beyond her
room3
Mrs. Kingdom was ninety-four years OF
age last September. She was born In
Mount Holly, in the house now occupied
by Thomas Dolan. on Buttonwood street.
She was the daughter of Joseph and Ruth
Carr, and with her family removed to the
house which at one time stood at the cor
ner of Paxson and Murrell streets. There
she was married to Jabez Kingdom and as
bride went to the house where Miss
Priscilla Flickner now lives on Murrell
street In this house six children were
born, one of whom died in infancy; the
rest are still living.
About sixty years ago she removed to
Burlington. Becoming connected with
St. Mary's Episcopal church she was
much interested in the work of that
church and was president of the
Woman's Auxiliary. Failing health de-
manded that she relinquish active work
and she rendered her resignation but II
was not accepted and alrAough she was
not able for long time to give attention
to any of the duties of the Office, she was
the nominal head of the organization at
the time of her death.
Mrs. Kingdom was also member of the
Board of Managers of the Burlington
County Hospital Poor health caused her
to give up active work In this line but she
maintained her interest In the Institution
until the very last and q visitor from
Mount Holly was always sure of being
asked for the latest information with ref
erence to the hospital.
With the exception of slight deafness
she retained her faculties until the last.
She was able to read the papers and
she kept In touch with all topics of
interest. On the Sunday prior to her
death she heard of the death of lady
who formerly lived In Mount Holly and
she was able to tell many incidents con-
nected with the life of the latter. On the
same day she read and commented on an
editorial touching On the impending strike
of railroad fremen.
On Thursday morning she was attacked
with the grip, and her condition grew
worse until about eight o'clock In the
evening when she peacefully slept and
passed away so quietly that the attending
nurse did not realize for some seconds that
the end had come.
Mrs. Kingdom had a host of friends,
drawn to her by her genial, lovable dis
position. She was firm friend and de-
voted mother While there is natural re-
greet that one so loved must be taken
away forever, yet there remains the feel
ing that good woman has been released
from the pains and troubles of this world,
and that after having lived far beyond the
allotted three-score years and ten noble
Christian woman has gone to her reward.
Deceased leaves five children-Mary
r., Martha A., and Wilbur F., all
living in Burlington; Mrs. Anna King
don Dey. of Princeton; and Joseph G.
Kingdom. of Mount Holly. Five grand
children and six great grandchildren sur
vive her. 1t was one of her great pleasures
to be able to see and enjoy the presence OF
all but one of the great grandchildren, he
being but little over two months of age.
The funeral services were held in st.
Mary's church, Burlington, yesterday
afternoon, interment being In st. Andrews
burying ground, Mount Holly.
