Thom Saturday morning her many friends here were moved to sorrow by the an- nouncement of the death during the night of Mrs. Charlotte H. N. Thomas, 89, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. 0. Thomas, on the West Side. Mrs. Thomas had been critically ill for about one week, up to which time 2 mentality that always had been of remarkable brilliance retained a great degree of its keenness. Mrs. Thomas was born on what is now known as South street, April 16, 1830, and had lived all her active and very valuable lifé in this vicinity, She was a daughter of George A. and Dolly (Eennett) Niles, ohe of the well known families of the earlier days here. Mrs. Thomas studied in the graded schools hiere and afterwards attended the old academy, which stood upon the site now occupied by St. Alban's church. From her early years she gave evi- dence of being possessed of unusual literary talent, which later developed in marked degree and she became a much sought after contributor of verse ang prose to Robert Bonner’s Fireside and other publications. Her writings were marked by particular grace and charm and for many thousands of spiration. Some of her writings Lave been published in book form but those who are closely acquainted with her work are authority for the statement that the best of her efforts as a writer have not been published. In years that have long since gone some special anniversary or other such occasion brought as a gift from her pen a poem or striking contribution in prose, and a review of those will quickly establis¥ the broadness of vis- ion, the sure grasp of things and the striking power of description of which she was possessed. Spelling was cne of her particular strong points, and it is recalled that at one time, many years ago, in a spelling bee held in Dayville she and the late Marietta Kies, another of the most remarkable women that Killingly has produced, remained alone of the groups they represented at the start of the contest and. for more than two and a half hours after all others had heen spelled down they continued to compete against each othef, neither faltering over the -scores of difficult words given out. Mrs. Thomas wis for many years particularly interestea in temperance work and also in_the literary organi- zations -of Danielson, including the Ladies’ Reading Circle. As she realized that the sunset of her life was very mear, she gave re- newed evidence of her love of sim- plicity and another glimpse of her really great personality. An instance i [of this was her request that there Iy no singing at her funeral and that no flowers be sent, for she had en: joyed and loved the flowers and voices raised i song during her life and re- alized that she could not do so when she had passed beyond. Mrs. Thomas leaves three sons, George O., at whose home she died; Mortimer W., a professor at Drury ‘academy, North Adams, Mass, and Dudley N, resident in Oakland, Cal, and who will be unable to make the Death of Miss Caroline E.
