 FLORENCE D. WILEY.
Putnam patriot., 1923-07-20

July 18th is day that will always have special significance for Thomp- son and windham County, as Ellen Dougla. Larned was born on that day in the year 1925.
 This famous woman first saw the light in the third oldest, and one of the most attractive houses in Thomp- son, the one now owned and occupied by Miss Lewis.
 To the general public Miss Larned is perhaps best known as the author of the History of Windham County. and Historic Gleanings in Connecti- cut: but these are smaller part of her literary work. Her Histories of Thompson Families, which first ap- peared in the Monthly Record, lit tie church paper published in Thomp- son many years ago, which were later reprinted in The Patriot, are of great interest. Many other historical sketch es appeared in the same paper. among them being the story of the Watson family and the First Church in Thompson, which was built in TIPS. In addition to her writing Miss Larn- ed gave a great deal of time to gen. ealogy. People of New England or igin wrote to her from all over the United States, asking for help in tracing their ancestry. Her knowl- edge of everything connected with Thompson was most remarkable. She at one time gave a valuable and de- Iightful talk on the old houses of Thompson, of which unfortunately no record was kept To this day, we say, if Miss Larned were only here, she could tell us this and that.
 An hour spent with her was s rare treat, her unusual memory making her . most interesting talker, as her fund of tales of the past was mex nsustibie. In current events sAe took little interest, e she quAiatly ex- pressed k. shs vas only interested in what had become history. Possibly had she hvec sc see the World War, with history msking every meuenk, her attitude b the present might have

 Among the pleasantest memories of Miss Larned are the winter evenings spent by her freside, when she read aloud to all who cared to come, from D'Aubignee' History of the Reforna- tion. At other times she collected the small boys of the town, who, in those days, had no Boys Club, and en- tertained them with stories and games of dominoes. If anything were need cd .c andear her to the town 1t would be the Thompson Library, which was her last and greatest gift to the com munity.

stars, meaning citations for bravery,
preached sermon eulogizing Ma
