HEWITT, Peter Jenks Obituary

Peter Jenks Hewitt, aged ninety years, died at his home in Hewittville at the foot of Horace mountain last evening. He had been confined to bed but one day. Mr. Hewitt had lived for many years in the region in which he died. His life was unusual for its length and from its suffering. He was a farmer all his days, first in Clarksburg. He moved from that town to the Allen farm at Horace mountain foot where he lived and worked for about seven years. He then moved to a neighboring farm. The section has received his name because of his long residence in it. His physical vigor was very remarkable. Until a year ago he was able to do his part in chopping wood and so late as a few days ago he was able to assist in the chores. He was married to Lydia Whitcomb, who died about nine years ago at the advanced age of eighty-one years. They are survived by six children, Stillman of Florida, Daniel of Stamford, Vt., Samuel of Briggsville, Mrs. Lafayette Richards, Mrs. Henry Hall and Mrs. Charles Hall. The funeral will occur tomorrow and the body will be laid beside Mrs. Hewitt's grave in the little burial lot on the farm.
