Alvin Wales, of Madison county, New York. In September, 1828, she was married to Hiram Woodworth. January, 1829, the young couple moved into a hotel, which they conducted two and a half years, and at the end of that time they exchanged for property in Roches ter township, and on May 22, 1832, Mr. and Mrs." Woodworth arrived in their forest home. From the time of their ar rival until the middle of the following September the pioneer couple lived in the most primitive manner, their rude hut being furnished with neither door, win dow nor even a chair of any sort, much less any other kind of furniture. After thirty years of labor on this forest home it had been transformed into a beautiful farm. They then sold the old homestead and moved on a farm north of the village of Wellington and there resided three years, when they bought and moved into the American hotel, at Wellington. After her husband's death she made the hotel her home until she bought a home on Magyar street. Here she lived for many years in the enjoyment of what their labor and privations had brought them. Had Mrs. Woodworth lived until November 27 she would have been eighty five years old, and up to the last sickness had always enjoyed good health, and her quick, elastic step and bright, cheerful ways were the remark of all who knew her. Her last sickness was that most dis tressing malady, cancer of tho tongue, but she bore all with great patience. She had been for many years a member of the Congregational church and had selected the fourteenth chapter of John to be read at her funeral itnd from which the remarks were awd commencing ! with those comforting words, "Lot not your heart be troubled," conducted by her former pastor and neighbor, Rev. 8. Highest of all in Leavening 11 k JSS5 ABSOHJTEB FUZ5S and Furnishings! S. D. Gammell, assisted by Rev. A. F. Skeele. The last time that Mrs. Woodworth was able to attend public worship was June 24, when a special service had been arranged by the pastor for elderly people from the words, "At evening time it shall be light," and of two of the aged people present, Mrs. Woodworth and Mrs. Hand, it was the last time they were able to attend the church they loved so well. Four daughters and one son were born to Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth, Mrs. D. L. Wadsworth, of Wellington, Mrs. F. M. Sheldon, of Hornellsville, N. Y., Mrs. S. E. Wilcox, and Warren Woodworth. Tho eldest daughter, Mrs. Braman, died iu early womanhood. Seven grandchil dren and four great-grandchildren are left to cherish the memory of a noble mother. w. RESOLUTIONS.
