"Died: In Preston, Loruhamah McCall, relict of the late John McCall, and daughter of Capt. Elijah Brewster and Elizabeth Fitch, his wife, formerly of Preston, Conn., and a lineal descendant of Elder Wm. Brewster, one of the Mayflower emigrants. Born at Preston, Ct., February 17th, 1762, during the period of the French and Indian wars, and lived during the bloody conflict of the Revolution, and among the many heart-rending scenes was made familiar with the horrid massacre at Fort Griswold, in the neighboring town of Groton, where many of her relatives and friends were inhumanly butchered while crying for quarters. After the close of the Revolution, or about 1787, with her husband removed to Lebanon, Ct., and in June 1807 emigrated with him and their family to her late residence in Preston, a country then but just emerging from a wilderness state, and endured the toils and privations incident upon a pioneer life, and remained to see the desert blossom as the rose, and may truly be said to have lived the affectionate parent, the kind neighbor, the upright and exemplary citizen, firmly attached to the creed and faith of the Puritan church, retaining her intellectual faculties in an astonishing degree to the very close of life, and died July 3d, 1860, in the 99th year of her age, in the full enjoyment of the esteem and regrets of all of her kindred, neighbors and acquaintances."
