On Sunday, occurred the death of Mrs. Caroline L. Howe, at the advanced age of 92 years. Mrs. Howe belonged to one of the oldest Hampton families, being a daughter of Dearborn and Clarissa Blake Shaw. She is the last of a large family. Mrs. Howe married Buckley Howe, a widower with three children, one son and two daughters, all of whom are living. She was a good mother to these stepchildren. They went to Evans, Colorado, and bought a ranch. Her only child, Edgar was born there. At her husband's death, Mrs. Howe returned to Hampton, and purchased the home where they now live. Until within a year she has retained her faculties in a wonderful degree. She was a very refined, dignified woman. A great reader, fond of flowers, and out of doors. She was always glad to see her friends, and was always pleasant and kind to all. She had a happy home with her son and his family, who have done everything possible to make her last days happy. She was buried from the home on Tuesday. The service was in charge of Rev. Edgar Warren, assisted by Rev. R. E. Barker. Mrs. Howe has been a member of the Congregational church in Evans, Colorado, for many years. The floral tributes from friends and neighbors were many and very beautiful. Mrs. Belle Perkins and Mrs. Alice Noyes, sang two pleasing selections. The bearers were Geo. M. Dearborn, John C. Blake, George P. Mace and Frank Hill. William Brown was the undertaker in charge.

Mrs. Elizabeth A. Batchelder, long of Hampton and now a boarder at the Rockingham county farm at Brentwood, today observed her 100th birthday anniversary. The event was made enjoyable by Supt. And Mrs. Fred Rand, who planned a reception. A guest of the day was Mrs. Mary E. Weeks of Concord, a cousin and her nearest kinsman. She received 160 postcards, flowers, confectionery and a birthday cake from Supt. And Mrs. Rand inscribed "1825-1925." An original poem was read by the Rev. Thomas Brewster, pastor of the Brentwood Congregational church. Mrs. Batchelder was born in Epping, her maiden name being Elizabeth A. Cawley. She was married at Exeter in 1856 to Samuel C. Batchelder, who was from a Northwood family. She lived here for four years and then moved to West Newbury. For years she conducted the Penobscot House at Hampton Beach, which was one of the old-time hostelries long before the electric road and the automobile. She catered to visitors at the beach from far and near, and the Penobscot stables did a thriving baiting business in early times. Mrs. Batchelder retains her faculties and delights to entertain callers. She has done much fancy needle work during the winter.

Through the columns of our newspaper, the committee in charge of the silver tea held in the Congregational chapel on Wednesday of last week, wish to thank all those who in so many ways helped make this such a success, socially and financially. Many of our friends, delving deeply into their old green chests, brought out priceless silver heirlooms to be polished and loaned for the occasion. Among these we would mention in particular a beautiful silver sugar bowl presented by ex-president Pierce (elected as New Hampshire's first president of the United States in 1853), to Mrs. John Warner of North Hampton. This bowl is now owned by Mrs. Emma Young, sister of Mrs. Warner, and is to be passed on to Mrs. Young's daughter, Mrs. Janvrin, of Hampton Falls. The display of beautiful silver, with pink flowers and candles giving a touch of color, made the tea tables of the three pourers, Mrs. Cash, Miss Annie Johnson, and Miss Olive Nudd, look most attractive. The fourth table, used as a replenishing table, was equally attractive, with silver candelabra, candle sticks, cake baskets, etc. To make the occasion as social as possible, a number of our little junior members of the Sunday school were called on to pass the pink and white napkins, and the servers were chosen from the assembled company. One looking into the chapel about four o'clock, and seeing ladies merrily at work crocheting, embroidering, etc. as they listened to the pleasing entertainment prepared by Mrs. Young, would have seen that the social success of the afternoon was assured. An article from an "Exeter News Letter" of twenty-five years ago entitled "What Our Grandmothers Did Sixty-five Years Ago," thus carrying us back ninety years, was read by Mrs. Winchester, dressed in Martha Washington costume. This was very interesting to all. We were pleased to have so many of our Baptist friends with us, and regretted that this date conflicted with that of the regular monthly meeting of the ladies of the Methodist church, making it impossible for them to be present.

Victoria A. Dow:

The old native-born residents of Hampton are fast passing away. Mrs. Dow belonged to one of the oldest families. She was a daughter of Dea. Jerre Knowles. She spent her last years in sight of her early home. Mrs. Dow married in 1859 Joseph Warren Dow, and though there were five children born to them they all passed away before the mother. For many years they lived in Boston, and then in the pleasant home where for a number of years she has been kindly cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lamprey. Mrs. Dow was a fine looking, intelligent woman. For many years, though unable to go out she was always interested in the affairs of the town and church. The funeral was on Tuesday, at the home, attended by Rev. John Cummings. She was laid to rest amidst the beautiful flowers she loved so well.
