One by one the aged people of community are closing the scenes of the earthly lives. This time we note the death of Lorretta (Robinson) Averill, which occurred on the 20th of Jan., in the 90th year of her age. Her father was Amos Robinson, Esq., one of the earliest settlers of the town. Her husband, John Averill, Esq., died about five years ago. They had six children, five sons and one daughter, of which one son and the daughter only survive her. One son died in infancy and her oldest child, A. J. Averill, Esq. of Roxbury, died very suddenly, only a few weeks previous to her own death. Of her good qualities and her usefulness in the community in which her life was spent, much might be said. The closing years of Mrs. Averill's earthly pilgrimage were made pleasant in the family of her son, Henry Averill. Her faith and assurance were so strong in a joyous reunion with the loved ones gone before, that she was glad to lay aside her worn out body and join them in their blest abode on the "other side." Rev. I. P. Booth officiated at the funeral.

Mrs. Loretta (Robinson) Averill died in this town, last Thursday, in the ninetieth year of her age. Mrs. Averill was the widow of John Averill, Esq., who died five years ago, and daughter of Amos Robinson, Esq., who was one of the earliest settlers of the town. Her children were five sons and a daughter, of whom the daughter and one son survive her. A. J. Averill, Esq., of Roxbury, who recently died so suddenly, was her eldest son. Before the infirmities of age came to rest so heavily upon her Mrs. Averill was a very useful person in the communities in which she lived, and her place in the sick-room was not easily supplied. The closing years of her life were made pleasant in the family of her son, Henry Averill. Rev. I. P. Booth officiated at the funeral on Saturday, and the remains were buried at the Center.
