ell, Jan. 1, 1916, daughter of Smith
and Sabrina (Kempton) Cammet.
Her younger days were spent in her
native town where she taught school
On Oct. 25, 1866, in Albany by the
Rev. H. N. Hovey she was united in
marriage to jeremiah B. Darling of
Morristown. They soon came to AL
bany to live and kept a hotel here
nearly fifty years. Here their chill
.dren were born and here she did her
life's work.
She was a willing helper in the La
dies Aid society of the Congrega-
tional church and many times opened
her house for church affairs. She did
not unite with any church but l have
known her to be at morning service
when she really was not able, because
she "would count one in the small
congregation" and Jesus said, "Inas-
much as We have done it unto one Of
the least of these, We have done it I'M
to me-" and her life was full of little
kind deeds of every day, her life was
not to say, but to do. She fed the
hungry, she clothed the needy, she
visited the sick, SO many times when
she needed to reserve her own
strength for other duties, and her
sympathetic heart went out to every
unfortunate, and where sorrow came,
there you would find Mrs. Darling
trying to alleviate suffering and sor-
row. She was a true wife, loving
mother. a sympathetic neighbor, a
kind friend to all, a woman very
much to be missed from this COM
munity. In the last few years she
has been a semi-invalid, but would go
out whenever possible.
On Oct 25th, 1916, they celebrated
their golden wedding with their three
children, Daisy, the wife Of Rev: Jo-
seph A. Goodrich of Jefferson, Ohio,
John, who divides his time between
Albany and Oak Bluffs, and Grace,
the wife of DR.. A. M. Goddard, of our
village, and the grandchildren of
whom there are six, and this is the
first break in this family.
The grandma will be sadly missed
by the children as the homes have
been so united. She was the last of
her fathers family and the first to
go from her own.
The funeral was held Saturday in
her own home, where she lay with
the fragrant flowers, of which she
was so fond, banked about her, and
the quiet expression on her face de-
noted peace. Rev. ". A. Warner of
Barton, a friend of her girlhood,
spoke comforting words to all. There
were many who came to take last
look of a friend and to show their
love and respect to the family.
Burial was in the village cemetery.
