WINSTED. Death of Mrs. Maria R. Bronson, a Well-Known Woman.
Mrs. Maria R. Bronson died at her home in Winchester Center Saturday morning. She was 79 years of age, and the last survivor of her generation, of several noted Winchester families. She was born in Torrington, in the Newfield district near the Winchester line, April 26, 1819. She was the youngest of the six children of Captain Levi and Rachel Marshall Munsill. On her mother's side she was connected with the Marshalls of Colebrook, an old family of that town, a number of whom afterward removed to Painesville, Ohio. One of them married Mr. Higley who at one time kept the old Higley tavern in Winsted on the Hartford & Albany turnpike, but afterwards removed to Ohio. Another of the descendants of the Marshall family is Mrs. George F. Hill, of Capitol Avenue, Hartford. Mrs. Bronson had one sister, Sarepta. Her brothers were the late Deacon Marcus Munsill, for whom the memorial table has just been placed in the Winchester Church by his grandson, Gail Munsill of Hartford; Luman, Hiram and Levi T.
In 1841 she married the late Theron Bronson of Winchester, where she has lived since. Her children were Henry, who died about thirty years ago, Edward H., Wilbur M. and Elliott B., who comprise the firm of Bronson Brothers of this place, Winchester and Torrington, and Carrie M. Mrs. Bronson was very highly esteemed in the community where she lived. She had been a member of the Winchester Church for nearly fifty years, having united with it under the ministry of James H. Dill, who was associate pastor for six years with the Rev. Frederick Marsh.
Her hospitality and kindness of heart were remarkable. In the old days when there were two meetings each Sunday in the church, her house was a rendezvous during the noon hour for those who drove in from the outlying country and it is said that the pies along which she had provided for their luncheons would have to be counted by thousands. Although her bodily activity has been lessened during the last few years, she remained to the end a faithful friend and councillor. The funeral will be tomorrow at 1 o'clock at the Winchester Church.
