She g»ve birth to six children, all of whom lived to grow up, but only three of them,a son and two daughters survive her. Her husband died in 1857. since which, time she has had a very pleasant home with her son and oldest, daughter, She had always enjoyed good health until about four months prior to her death, and even then no wasting disoase seized her but her once vigorous^constitution now en. feebled by age, was racked by local difficulties which probably hastened her demise. For the last few days of her litfc, her general health seemed bet­ ter than previously, and the day of her death she assisted in doing the morn­ ing work.

Alarch 12th, 1824, He lived there until the spring of 1856, when he moved to this county. In the Fall of 1889 he came to the village of Mcllenry, and has resided here ever since, with per­ haps the absence of a few months in an adjoining county. During his residence here he has been engagedin the mer­ cantile business, and few men were better known in this part of th*> county than Mr. Stoddard. His. health has been poor for years, but he has been able to attend to his business, and not even his most intimate friends thought for a moment that lie was in any dan­ ger. He was at his store all day the Saturday before he died. He haR been a terrible but silent sufferer, preferlng to bear his sufferings silently rather than pain his friends by their recital. A physician was called on Sunday, the 22d, hut could give him no relief, slid on Tuesday he quietly passed away. He leaves a wife and tour children, three daughters and one'sou, to mourn his loss, who have the heartfelt sym­ pathy of this entire community, in this, their sudden bereavement.
