OBITUARY. Miss Hannah Lathrop Ripley.
(Contrputed.o

Hannah Lathrop Ripley the last sur yivor of the seven children of Judge George Burbank Ripley and his wife, Hannah Gardner Ripley, died peace fully at an early hour on Saturday morning, Dee. 21, 1913, at her home, No. IT Broadway.
 It is noteworthy in these days of frequent changes that she was born and died and spent Eae SS years of her life in the house on Broadway which was built by her father about the time of his marriage in 1925.
 Miss Ripley was well known to Q wide circle of kindred and friends and neighhors in Norwich for her intense- ly patriotic spirit, her indomitabIe en- crgy her gracious and generous hospi- tality and tho enthusiastic zeal with Hh'eh she en@aged in every good work.
 In the yestihule of the Broadway church her name is inscribed on a bronze tablet 'fs one of the original members of that ecclesfsatieal society, to which she was deyotedly attached. She was actively engaged in raiS4- g money for the erection of this costly memorial, and she was also interested in. the erection of a tablet in the Norwich Free Academy in memory of students in that institution who were eTTOlleQ as SOtQferS m the war for the union in the early sos. Tn that war her brothers were engaged and she herself was a volunteer nurse for 8 time in 3 military hospital on David's Island, pear New York.
 She seems to have inherited from her father hot only his wit and humor but also her love for her garden, in which she Htoiled with her own hands and cultivated fruits and flowers with unusual success.
 Although her father and mother and six brothers and sisters had passed away, leaving her solitary and alone ip her later years, it seemed as if the old home were permanent and thai nothing could change it. She was in l deed a valiant woman. and it might be said of her, as was said of her father that mo one in Norwich was moro | widely known or more Highly respect. ed"
 l She is survived by two nieces, Mrs Faith Atterhp1y of New York, Mrs Elsie Moves of Brooklyn, and a nephew Dwight Collins of Fayetteville. N. Y. 1 W. c. G,
