dents acquired a successful musical
education under her direction. She
was a member of the Episcopal and
Congregational Church choirs for
many years, and in addition took
part in all the musical festivities
or the community.
In the year of 1882, in October,
deceased was united in marriage to
William A. Henshaw, the ceremony
being conducted in this city. They
made their home in Sank Centre,
until the Andrews Opera Co. played
