Death of Mrs. HARRIET JANE WHITE Woodhouse
Death of Mrs. Woodhouse
Mrs.
Harriet Jane Woodhouse, wife of J.V. Woodhouse, died Sunday at the family home
in this city, at the age of 70 years and 9 days. Mr. and Mrs. Woodhouse came here nearby ten
years ago, and after buying a tract of land from the late William Allard,
constructed a cozy of dwelling and converted their acquisition into a model
home, where they have since lived. The
health of Mrs. Woodhouse had not been good for a long time before her death,
and upon one or two former occasions she had been so low that it was thought
impossible for her to revive, but her naturally robust constitution told in her
favor and she each time recovered.
Although at times she suffered intensely, she bore it all bravely and
was considered by her many friends as unusually cheery and jolly.
Mrs. Woodhouse was born
September 8, 1829[1830], at Roxbury Massachusetts, and on her eighteenth
birthday was married to Mr. Woodhouse. It was married to Mr. Woodhouse It was
her pride to relate that in the course of their long married life they had
never been apart for longer than four months at any one time, and that they had
seldom been apart at all. She was the
mother of ten children, all but two whom survive her, as one also one an
adopted Son. One daughter Mrs. Robinson,
resides in Anacortes.
The Funeral Services were
conducted from the residence on Tuesday afternoon, interment being in Grandview
Cemetery. The REV Charles Godsman
conducted the services, Mrs. Woodhouse having become a member of his church
about a year ago, prior to that time having been an Universalist. There was quite a gathering of friends of the
family at the services and all have the deepest Sympathy for the bereaved
husband and others of the family
