Obituary: Mrs. HANNAH T. MACOMBER, who died in this city Mar. 2, 1887, at the advanced age of 76 years and upwards, was born in Ellsworth Dec. 14, 1811 and was the daughter of the late Alfred Langdon. Her father's family, of which she was the fifth child, consisted of two sons and five daughters. Miss Hannah T. Langdon, the subject of this sketch, married when a young woman, John C. Macomber, who died we think in 1880. [Actually 12/15/1880; see 12/23/1880 edition.] Mrs. Macomber had often expressed the wish that when she died her children might all be present, and this wish was not denied her, her four children, consisting of three sons and one daughter being all present; the daughter, Miss Sarah W. Macomber coming from Boston and reaching home in season to administer to the last wants of her aged mother. The illness of Mrs. Macomber was a very brief one, lasting only a few days. We understand that her disease was pneumonia.
