BUNKER.? In San Francisco, Cal., June
5th, 1878, Mrs. Sophronia C. Hobart, wife
of Mr. George Bunker and daughter of
Amos Hobart, Esq., of this villago, aged
39 years.
Mrs. Bunker was married and left this,
her native village nineteen years ago,
With a faithful and loving Christian heart
she endured the many dangers and privations
incident to life in a now country. The
peculiarly trying death of her first-born,
the murder of her husband's partner and
plunder of her own home by the Indians,
and various reverses of fortune did not find
her unprepared to sustain all with Christian
fortitude and courage. She was emphatically
"a woman in whom the heart of
her husband could safely trust," who
"opened her mouth with wisdom, and in
whose tongue was the law of klndness."
By the testimony of all who know her,
she was a true wife and safe counsellor to
her husband, a faithful mother to her four
surviving children and a devoted Christian
in all the relations she sustained.
Her death came suddenly and unexpectedly,
but the messenger found her ready,
and tho chief comfort the wlde circle of
bereaved friends may have, Is the assurance
that for her to die was to enter upon
the Heavenly Rest. In that home above,
she is re-united to her sainted mother and
to many others gone before, and thither
her memory and her Christian example
point tho way for those dear to her.
