Colonel Choate's wife was every way his equal. She was a most amiable, capable, and beautiful woman. She was a descendant of the Pilgrims, and reared almost within sight of the Island in the Merrimack River, where her ancestress, the heroic Mrs. Hannah Dustin, slaughtered with her own hand the cruel savages, who had carried her captive from Haverhill, MA through forests and deep trackless snows, and made good her escape. Mrs. Choate was brought up tinder the ministry of the venerable Dr. Wood, and early converted to Christ. She became a fine example of Christian womanhood, a faithful wife, and a devoted mother. Colonel and Mrs. Choate, in their early married life, were characterized as the handsomest couple in the town ; their eight children all lived to grow up, and, like their parents, were exemplary Christians. The married life of this amiable pair extended over the long period of sixty-five years. They were respected and beloved by all who knew them.

died aged 86
