SARAH STRONG PASSES TO REWARD Her Philantfif)ies Were Many, But Were Known by Few This city is today . mourning the loss of one of its most venerable and philanthropic residents caused by the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Strong, who passed away at 9:30 o’clock this morning at her home, 33 Camp street, after an illness of many months due to infirmaties incident -to old age. Mrs. Strong was in her ninety-sec- ond year, having been born in Wood- bury, September 17,1825, the daugh- ter of David Clark Bacon and Sarah ‘Wheeler. Her early life was spent in ‘Woodbury, but she married the late Deacon Henry Strong and the couple removed to this city. She had con- tinued to reside here constantly since. Mr. Strong, her husband, was a leading cftizen for many years, he having passed away twenty-six years He was one of the pioneer Jum- ber men of this section of the\coun- try, and with the dissolution of the Strong & Giddings Lumber company, with F. G. Platt and .A. N. Lewis, Mr. Strong founded the New Britain Lumber and Coal company. To thosé conversart with the life of Mrs. Strong, many acts of kindness are known to have been done by her, but due to her modest nature, the public were never appraised of them. Of a beautiful Christian character, Mrs. Strong was a life long member of the Congregational church, and on moving to this city she identified her- self with the Center church. She con- the church and assisted in many ways toward its mjaintenance. One of the donations made by her several years ago was $5,000 to be distributed to the poor of the congregation. At the time the Y., W. C. A. was started in this city, Mrs. Strong con- tributed heavily toward the comple- tion of the organization besides do- Raphaei’s Departme;lt Store (The Big Store) Wants Salesladies In All Departments with or without experience.

This fact, however, has never been made public because of her request that the trans- fer be not recorded until after her demise. This was another sample of her modesty. Contributions innum- erable have been made to individuals about the city and a close friend of the deceased remarked today, ‘“There are many a little boy and girl who will realize the departure of such a dear friend.” ‘While definite arrangegments have not been made for the funeral, the wish of Mrs. Strong that the remains be taken to Woodbury and buried be- side the bodies of her husband and two children, will be coinplied with. It was also a request of the deceased that Rev. Mr. Wyckoff, a former pas- tor, should read the service.. The ser- vices in this city will be conducted by Rev. Henry W. Maier, who will ac- company the remains to Woodbury. Mrs. Strong left few relatives, a brother in Newton and a niece and nephew in Woodbury being the only survivors. BIG READ ESTATE DEAD. J. W.
