Person:Seraph Newton (3)

Seraph Huldah, b. Aug. 6, 1823 ; d. at Pittsfield, Mass., Feb. 8, 1909, aged 85 years, 6 months ; burial at Cambridge, N. Y.. where her father and mother and husband also lie. In the summer of 1906 she had a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which she never entirely recovered, and though somewhat helpless, seemed well and happy. After a long life of usefulness she quietly passed away. She married at Cambridge, N. Y.. Sept. 20. 1843, John McAllister Stevenson, son of William and Frances Wardale (McAllister) Stevenson* of Stranraer. Scotland, and Cambridge, N. Y., born at Cambridge, N. Y., Oct. 22, 1818, and died at Cambridge, N. Y.. Sept. 8, 1872 ; a graduate of Union College, 1839 ; lawyer. They resided at Cambridge and Coila a village of Cambridge, N. Y., where their chiklren were born. In 1877, Mrs. Stevenson removed to Pittsfield, Mass.. and erected a house on the corner of West Honsatonic and Elizabeth streets, where she lived to make glad the hearts of all who knew her for the many years that remained, her two widowed daughters tenderly caring for her. She was early in life a member of the I'Presbyterian church— later a member of the United Presbyterian and. at Pittsfield, of the Congregaticnial chnrch—always an active and hearty worker therein. It would please me to incorporate here the fine memoriam of her published in pamphlet form, but space will not permit. She joined the Daughters of the American Revolution, in 1897, the Peace Party Chapter of Pittsfield, in its beginning. She was quite an enthusiastic helper to me in giving data for this Newton record.
