In Alfred, N. Y., Dec. 14, 1886, at the home of her son-in-law, Noel B. Smith, Prudence C., relict of Rowland P. Thomas, aged 85 years, 0 months and 8 days. She was born in Petersburgh, Rensselaer Co., N. Y., and came with her husband to Alfred sixty-five years ago, where she has since lived. She was a member of the First Church of Alfred, and had been for a long time. She was a consistent Christian, a true wife and a loving mother, and we trust has entered into that rest for which she has so long hoped and prayed. She was the last, but one, of her father's family of twelve children. She has left four children, with a large circle of other relatives. J. K.
