The sudden death of Mrs. Abigail Loring from heart failure was peculiarity sad and from the fact that she was unavoidably alone, not a relative in the city and as it happened alone in the house, yet happy from the fact that she went as she had wished, without a struggle. The funeral was held at her home on Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. G A. Cressey assisted by Rev. James Evans and the interment took place in Greenwood cemetery. The relatives in attendance were Mrs. M.T. Field, who had been at the Sanitarium in Hudson for several weeks, Mrs. D. W. Woodworth and daughter of Ellsworth, W.L Perrin, Solon Perrin, and Miss Mabel Perrin of St. Paul, Hon. Frank M. Nye, and wife of Minneapolis, Frank Perrin, Esq. of Madison and Dr. Harry Perrin of Star Prairie. River Falls Journal 2-28-1895

MRS. ABIGAIL LORING
Mrs. Abigail Loring was born in the town of Turner, Maine, in August 1807 and died at River Falls, Wisconsin, February 24th, 1895. She would have been 88 years old in August next. She was married in 1826, being then 19 years of age, at her tome in the town of Turner where she continued to reside for a short time. She then removed to Shirley, Maine, where she resided until 1856 and where all her children were born, and where i n 1849 her husband died. During her residence of nearly 30 years in Shirley she was obliged, because of the comparatively uninhabited condition and lack of means, to undergo privations and vicissitudes which would have been disheartening to a less intrepid spirit. From the death of her husband in 1849 she was the real head of the family and to the mother belongs the credit of rearing to maturity the family of nine children which survived the father.
In 1856 she broke up her old home at Shirley and removed to Kinnickinnic, St. Croix county where she lived until about 1881 when she removed to River Falls where she has since resided.
Of her original family of ten children, five survive her, Mrs. Eliza Nye, of this city; Mrs. Scales, now living in California, Lyman Loring of Kalispell, Mont.; Mrs. Field, with whom her mother lived, and Mrs. Woodworth of Ellsworth.
that is but the history of her time on earth. to write the story of her life is less easy. To describe her as she was to her children and her children's children in her daily walk and life requires more than the allotted time on this occasion. Her noble spirit, like some valiant Scotish chieftan, ever alert for the welfare of her clan, will always live in the memory of her friends. Her keen intelligence and discriminating qualities were softened always by a heart filled with the milk of human kindness and brotherly love. Positive she was, it is true, but just and fair always. Study and self-reliant, yet leaning for support upon the Higher Power, the "Divinity which shapes our ends." Strong in her own strength but stronger yet in the strength of an all just God and a righteous cause. As the mariner looks to the star in the north for guidance, so she looked through the units of tradition for the light, her Creator, a new Heaven and a new life. So we who knew her look with such patience as we may for the Great Beyond. Not with her fortitude, not with patience, but looking as we may. At last, after nearly a century of work and waiting, of cares without end and ceaseless pan of body and mind, this peerless soul is returned again to its Creator; chastened truly, sturdy and valiant to the end. She died as she lived, grand to the last. She lives as she died, glorious from the first.
