93; the oldest lady in town and a lifelong resident of Hampton.
She was the daughter of Captain Jonathan Godfrey and Theodate (Hobbs) Godfrey. She was one of fifteen children, four of whom survive her. Mrs. Leavitt married Moses Leavitt in 1861 and lived on the Leavitt homestead at North Beach for twenty-five years, then moved to the home on the Beach Road where she lived with her son Charles until her death.
Mrs. Leavitt has been in delicate health for many years, which, with failing eyesight, has confined her to her home. To the very last she has retained her interest in all activities pertaining to the church, even after being deprived of the strength to attend the services, which had long been her custom. She had the unusual record of being the oldest member of the church, as well as of the Missionary Society and the W.C.T.U.
Mrs. Leavitt leaves five children, Irvin Eugene, Amos T., Frank E., Charles W., and William Edward of Garden City, Kansas. Mother-in-law of Wesley. Grandmother of ten and Great-Grandmother of twenty-two.
Sister of Abbie (Godfrey) Cressey of Beverly, MA, Clara (Godfrey) Nutter of Everett, MA, Lucy (Godfrey) Marston of Hampton, NH, and Marcia (Godfrey) York of Kensington.
Predeceased by her husband Moses Leavitt (b. August 28, 1839; d. March 3, 1900 at 60 years) and her only daughter, Carrie Russell (Leavitt) Cole (b. August 6, 1866; d. September 5, 1901 at 35 years).
