Her husband dealt in lumber, pine lands and real estate. He built the present Bent block, corner of Main and Merritt streets in 1866. For the past number of years he has been retired and is now so feeble that he is confined to the house a great deal. Mrs. Bent was always active and vigorous until about three years ago when she first became ill.
She is survived by her husband, who is eighty-two years of age, and three children. Mrs. F. E. Jillson of New London, mother of Mrs. Edwin Beardmore, Mrs. A. C. Stroud of this city and George C.
