Mrs. Lucinda Lombard Woodsum Called Home
Mrs. Lucinda Woodsum died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. G. L. Case of Seattle, Wash., Saturday, Feb. 22 from paralysis of the throat and heart trouble, brought on by a severe attack of grip, at the age of 80 years, 8 months and 5 days.
Miss Lucinda Lombard was born at Otisfield, Maine, June 24th, 1821. She was united in marriage to Mr. Brackett Woodsum at her home in Otisfield, Maine, Nov. 17th 1846.
In 1859, Mr. and Mrs. Woodsum moved to Minnesota and settled on a farm three miles east of Chatfield, where the home was until 14 years ago.
Two children were born to them, both of whom survive their parents. They are, Mr. S. B. Woodsum, who is in the lumber business at Deming, Wash., and Mrs. G. L. Case of Seattle, Wash. Besides the children there are five grandchildren and four great grandchildren to mourn her departure. There are two sisters, Mrs. Martha Hamlin of Chatfield, Mrs. Mary Chadbourne of Hazard, Wash., and one brother, Rev. A. G. Lombard of Alden, who will sadly miss their beloved sister.
Mrs. Woodsum became a Christian at the age of eighteen and at that time united with the Methodist church. She has always lived the Christian life she professed and made a large circle of warm friends wherever she was known. For the past fifteen years she has devoted her life almost entirely to charitable work, and a number of Old Ladies' Homes are richer by donations of handsome silk quilts and sofa pillows, made by her own hands. She also made Battenburg lace and other fancy articles for different churches and charitable institutions which were sold for their benefit.
Mrs. Woodsum has lived for the past fourteen years with her daughter, Mrs. G. L. Case in Seattle, Wash., and she had so endeared herself by her acts of kindness and charitable work that she was familiarly known as "Grandma" throughout the city, and a host of friends there mourn her demise, as were shown by the many handsome floral designs that were placed upon her casket before the remains left Seattle.
Services were held at the late home in Seattle, Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock, and that evening her daughter, Mrs. G. L. Case, and son's wife, Mrs. S. B. Woodsum, started with the remains for Chatfield and reached here on the five o'clock train Saturday afternoon. There was a large delegation of old friends and neighbors at the depot to show their love and esteem for the deceased. The remains were taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Martha Hamlin. The body had been embalmed and when the casket was opened, so that the old friends and relatives might look upon the dear face once more, she looked as if she had just fallen asleep. The casket was magnificent, and no expense or labor was spared that could show the respect and love that all bore toward the loved form so soon to be laid at rest. Besides the floral tributes from Seattle, there were many beautiful pieces and bunches of flowers were brought by friends in Chatfield.
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church, Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. Allan Bell officiating. She was laid at rest beside her husband in the Chatfield cemetery, who proceeded her Nov. 22, 1877, at the age of 62 years.
Her sister, Mrs. Chadbourne of Hazard, Wash., was not able to be present at the funeral services in Chatfield. Her brother, Rev. A. G. Lombard of Alden, was also unable to attend on account of being confined to the Wykoff hospital by illness.
Heartfelt sympathy is felt and extended by the loyal friends of the deceased to the bereaved family. A noble life is ended, and a pure soul has gone to receive, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
