Mrs Olive (Hill) Emerson

She was born at Rochester, Massachusetts, and was recalled as, "a valuable woman, distinguished for all those virtues which make up the Christian character. Educated under the care of faithful parents, she was imbued with those principles indispensable to a useful and happy life. She felt her close relationship to all about her, and cherished those kind and benevolent sympathies which attached her to the poor as well as to the rich". She was survived by one daughter, Sarah, Mrs Theodore Lyman.
