Mary Jeffrey, an aged resident of Farmington, departed this life, February 8, 1892. She had been in failing health for a number of years, but was only confined to her bed for three weeks. Mrs. Jeffrey was a granddaughter of Nathan Herendeen, one of the pioneers of Farmington. Her parents, Samuel and Hannah Mason, came from Adams, Mass., in 1802, and purchased the farm on which she was born, April 10, 1807, and where she passed her whole life. February 1, 1843, she was united in marriage to Charles Jeffrey, who, with two daughters, Mrs. Hannah Herendeen and Mrs. Mary Carson, and three grandsons, survive her. The funeral was held from her late residence on Wednesday, Rev. E. C. Long, of Manchester, officiated. The subject of his discourse was, "The Peace of God," exemplified in the life of our departed friend. A large concourse of relatives and neighbors was assembled to pay the last tribute to one who was universally loved and respected. Interment in the South Farmington cemetery.
