Mrs. Antoinette A. Hastings, the widow of Dan Hastings, died in her home in Franklin on Friday. If she had lived one week longer she would have been 96 years old, but her suffering to- ward the end was so great that her nearest and dearest were giad for her sake that her days were not further prolonged. Mrs, Hastings was by many years the oldest member of the n church, and her interest in its wel- fare and prosperity were unceasing. In Igi“ of her great age she kept in touch with all the actlvities of the town and her sympathy &nd affection for each and every one of its residents endeared her unspeakably to them. She belonged to one of the oldest of the original familles of Franklin. Her father, Capt Oliver Johnson, her grandfather, Perkins Johnson were among the town's most prominent cit- izens. Her husband was also a Franklin man. A son, Oliver John- son Hastings of Los Angeles, Cal, sev- eral grandchildren and great grand- children, many nieces and nephews and a most devoted sister are left to mourn her loss. The funeral was held from her late home in Franklin Tuesdey afternoon at 2 o'clock. There was a large at- tendance of relatives and friends and there were a number of handsome flo- ral offerin, Rev. H. A. Beadle of Pomfret, a former pastor of the Con- gregational church on Meeting House Hill, Franklin, conducted the service. and was assisted by Rev. J. C. Young of Franklin and Rev. B. P.
