Parkhill, of Colby, Wis., Mrs. Bianca Smith, of Troy, N.Y., Hiram S. Niles of Chicago, and Mrs. Matilda Smith and Emeline E. Niles of this village, survive her. Mr. Niles died 42 years ago, and upon the mother rested the burden of the family; only her children can know the patient self-denial and thoughtfulness with which she cared for them.
Soon after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Niles united with the Baptist church in Galway. They moved to Westville in 1834 and were identified with the church there. Since 1872 Mrs. Niles has lived in this village with her daughters, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Niles.
