DIED.
RAWSON - At the residence of her son, R. P. Rawson, in this village, on Monday, at 6 o'clock A.M., Mrs. Polly H. Rawson, aged 89 years and nearly four months.
Grandma Rawson, nee Harvey, was born in Wardsborough, Windham county, Vt., April 5th, 1793, where she was reared to womanhood and where she married William Rawson, of Mendom, Mass., in 1813. In 1814 the family removed to western New York, living at Barry, Orleans Co., and Jamestown, Chataqua Co., and Randolph, Catteraugus Co., until 1844, when the family removed to Oregon, Dane Co., Wis. Wisconsin was then a territory. In 1850 they removed to Princeton, where R. P. Rawson had already been located some six years, and where on May 8th, 1863, her husband passed to his rest, aged 76 years, 4 months and 21 days. Since then Grandma Rawson has lived mostly with her son here, but has been able at times to visit her children and relatives in other states, staying with each as long as pleased her, she ever being a welcome guest with any and all of the relatives, as, in fact, with all who knew her. Mrs. R. was a conscientious christian, having joined the Presbyterian church when only 10 years of age, continuing to exhibit before the world as quiet, unobtrusive but firm and conscientious christian life. Upon coming to Wisconsin, for convenience Mrs. R. united with the Congregational church, and remained a consistent and worthy member to the time of her death. She retained her mental faculties to the last and during her last sickness - could bless God and her Savior for the hope of immortality that was as an anchor to her soul. She died as she had lived, beloved by all who knew or came in contact with her. To mourn the loss of a goodly mother are left seven children, and sixty grand and great grand children. The funeral was from the Congregational church Tuesday P.M., Rev. Chas. Baldock, of the M. E. Church, officiating, and the remains of Grandma Rawson rest in the quiet village cemetery by the side of him who had preceded her to that restful place nearly twenty years before. Thus pass the good from the earth away.
