Sophia and Samuel must have been the Sophia Kelley who married Samuel Wing and came from Adams, according to dates.

Grandfather Isaac and his wife Fannie Barnes Wing were buried in another cemetery, also some of their children, so very soon I will get these dates. I have located the farm where Samuel and Sophia settled. My father's people (Field) were one of the first families to settle in Ferrisburg. The Wings came soon after and owned an adjoining farm.

How can people heedlessly lose memories and traditions? They evidently do not consider seriously the blood that is flowing through their veins. They are just here, and whence they came doesn't seem to matter. But when I stood by the graves of Samuel and Sophia I and Sophia I wished I might have known them, there was that wonderful kindred feeling."

In a letter from Miss Phebe Edith Preston, Aylmer, Ontario: "I have been searching back the "Stephen line", and in the December Owl 1917, I found in the 5th generation from Stephen of Sandwich my grandmother's history (1082h), a little farther on in smaller type, some notes of her children's marriages. You will see my father, Uriah Preston, married in Canada, having one daughter, myself, though whoever furnished the records did not know my name. So I am the 7th generation. I notice they give the year of my father's birth as 1820; he always said, 1815. . . . . . By reading the Owl records of my grandmother, Amy Wing Preston, there is much that is new to me, for my father has been dead over fifty years. He never told me much about his people only that they had lived in New England for two hundred

Mrs. Douglas had been a member of the Church of Christ for over 55 years, having been brought to confess her Lord at the early age of 15. During that time she was always faithful, attending the services when it was possible, and always contributing of her means not only in support of the local church but also in the support of all its missionary interests. It was her pleasure to take part in the responsibilities of the church work as long as her health would permit, but while faithful to her church she never, in any way, neglected her family nor her home. A sweet and beautiful spirit permeated her entire life and was contagious to all those with whom she came in contact.

At the time of her death she was a member of the Tuxedo Park Christian Church of Webster Groves, Mo. She was "Faithful unto death," and has gone to receive her "Crown of life."

"Safe in the arms of Jesus, Safe on His gentle breast

There by His love o'er shaded, Sweetly her soul shall rest."
