It was always pleasant to visit his home, and right merry were the cousin-gatherings there at Thanksgiving and Old Election. One of "the gentlest of gentle womankind, " yet one of the most thoughtful and efficient of wives and mothers, presided over it, and de- lighted in the young people's frolic and fun. No sweeter, kindlier face haunts the chambers of memory than Aunt Martha's. No more bountiful and appetizing table than hers made glad our youthful hearts. No lot in all the circle of our kin...dred was lighted up by a more patient, loving, Christian spirit than hers. A life of tireless in- dustry, of unceasing cares, of self-denying deeds, was made bright and happy by the hope and trust which filled her heart. Of that large band of brothers and sisters, four are with us here to-day; but the others, Eben, Hannah, and Leonard, have passed on. To my youthful fancy, Cousin Hannah was the brightest and most beautiful of girls. Married, at the early age of eighteen, to a worthy man, she seemed to have a bright future opening before her; but it was soon closed on earth by death.
