Aged: 83 Years, 3 Months
DORA DUTTON
Died at her late residence in this city, Mrs. A. J. Dutton, at the advanced age of eighty-three years and three months. Mrs. Dutton had been very feeble during the summer now past, but was not considered dangerously so until the last week of her life. Much apprehension was felt for her two weeks before her death, while she was visiting at the home of her daughter, Mrs. H. D. Shepard, where she seemed to be slightly attacked with paralysis, but so slight as to be noticeably only in speech. After being home, it became necessary to urge her to eat, and even to help her by feeding her, although she could use her arms as well as ever, but she seemed to have no desire to eat and no consciousness of the necessity to do so. She grew gradually worse until her friends became alarmed and called in the family physician, who reported favorably as to her condition, her age considered, and hopefully commenced to administer medicines for billious trouble, but nothing seemed to check her constant decline and she breathed out life on Friday afternoon last, at 5 o'clock P.M. The last two days of her life she was unconscious, which was a great relief to friends, as her suffering was intense.
Mrs. Dutton came to this place with her family in 1857, in the early part of the year. The family consisted of her husband, herself, three sons and two daughters, and they settled on a farm three miles south-east of this city, where they lived ten years. During that time the late war broke out and one son went to Vermont and joined the union army. Early in the war he was captured before Petersburg, Virginia, and afterwards died in a rebel prison after great-suffering. The other two sons entered the service in Kansas, one of whom died and was buried at Pilot, in Missouri. The other son served to the end of the war, and now is living among us as are the two daughters.
Mrs. Dutton was born in Hartford, Vermont, in July 1801. She was the daughter of Hezekiah Hazen. She was the youngest daughter, of whom there were four, and six sons all of whom passed away before her.
She joined the Presbyterian church of Hartford, Vermont, as did also Mr. A. T. Dutton who became her husband five years later. She was seventeen years of age at the time she joined the church and has since led a consistent life. Her life testifies of her continued faith in Jesus, until its end. Some years ago she injured her hip by falling on the chamber stairs and has not been able to attend church very much since that time, but she never forgot to interest herself for those who could go, and thus keep alive her faith in the gospel of her Savior.
