Missoula, Mont.--Mrs. Jennie Wadsworth Lombard, who for the past 30 years
had been a resident of Missoula county, died here Nov. 25th at the home of
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. C.W. Lombard, death being caused by a complication
of diseases due to old age.
Mrs. Lombard was born at Hiram, Maine, where she lived during her early
youth. While she was yet a child her parents moved to Duxbury, Mass., which
was her home for a number of years. Mrs. Lombard's husband, Charles L.
Lombard, was in the employ of the government in the Indian bureau under
President Buchanan at the time they were married and they moved westward.
Mr. Lombard died, however, while he was yet a young man, leaving his wife
alone in the world with several children. Shortly after her husband's death
Mrs. Lombard joined a party of emigrants bound for the California gold
fields. She stopped on the present site of Missoula and continued to reside
here.
Mrs. Lombard was a second cousin of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the American
poet, and a direct descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens of the
Mayflower, of whom Longfellow tells in his "Courtship of Miles Standish."
She was a brilliant scholar all her life and retained her brilliant mind up
to the end.
