Died in this village Oct. 28th, Mrs. Louisa Adelia, wife of Mr. Volney Hascall, aged 41 years.
Mrs. Hascall was of a retiring temperment, but those who were so happy to make her acquaintance found it very valuable. She was a sympathetic, devoted, self-sacrificing friend. She was characterized by a lender of conscientiousness, a clarity of purpose, an arden love of truth, which she wished to ... expressed both faithfully and lovingly, and by the possession of these graces that throw a charm about her home. Just four weeks, to the very day and hour prior to her decease, she was instantaneously prostrated by an attack of congestive nature, which threatened fatal results, but after much suffering she rallied. On Tuesday morning last, while engaged in domestic duties, she was visited with a second attack, which suffered to deprive her of consciousness and in one hour, jast at noon, she ceased to breathe.
Mrs. Hascall united with the Congregational Church in this place in the spring of 1854. Naturally sel distrustful, she clasped the saviors pireced hand tremblingly, - but her hand never let go its hold. Christ was all the dearer because he would receive one one who deemed herself unworthy. In the interval between the first and second prostration, her faith was strengthened, her long felt dread of death vanished in view of the sustaining power of her Savior, and her soul seemed to reflect some of the mellow hues of the colorful world into which, through the mercy of Christ, we believe she has entered.
