MRS. SYBBIL FOOTE, Wife Of Deacon Samuel Foote.
Mrs. Sybbil Foote, wife of Deacon Samuel Foote, was the eldest daughter of Capt. Oliver Doolittle, of Hinsdale, New Hampshire. Her mother was the daughter of Seth Field, Esq., of Northfield, (Mass.,) and of Susan his wife, daughter of Rev. Benjamin Doolittle, the first minister of that town.
Mrs. Foote was born in 1777, and was married to Mr. Foote, August 8, 1794. Her life presents but few incidents for public recital,but it was crowded full of those many nameless acts of kindness, benevolence and love which fill up the daily life of a woman with domestic tastes,â€"of a wife, whose sympathies are with her husband's labors and fortunes,of a mother, to whom a large family of children looked up for guidance and education,of a neighbor whose heart and hand were ever open to administer to the wants and pleasures of others,and of a Christian who performed all of life's duties as in the constant presence of her final Judge. In all of these relations, as a woman, a wife, a mother, a neighbor, and a Christian, she moved through life, a beautiful example, blessing others, and blessed herself, in the consciousness of duty discharged here on earth, and in the comfortable hope of a blissful hereafter. Her religious opinions were not received on trust, but were derived from a diligent and prayerful study of the scriptures: neither were they mere matters of speculative belief,they were wrought into her daily life,her conversation and her habits. She made them the rule of her duty, in bringing up her own children,and when her husband was absent, she conducted, with sacred fidelity, family worship. She died of a bilious fever, on the 4th day of March, 1832, aged 54 years.
