  Laura BUSHNELL's mother was Sally HURLBURT. There was born at Goshen, Conn.,
Mar. 26, 1788, a triplet of girls who made one of the most remarkable records known.
They were Sibyl, Sarah (or Sally) and Susan, children of Gideon and Anna (BEACH)
HURLBURT. For the period of 87 years this triplet was unbroken, Sibyl dying first at
that age June, 1875. Her wedded name was LUDDINGTON. In October of the next year
Susan (Mrs. GRENNELL) died at the age of 88. Sarah lived to the age of 95, dying Jan.
11, 1883. These sisters looked so much alike, particularly Mrs. GRENNELL and Mrs.
BUSHNELL, that up to 75 or 80 years of age it was difficult for their most intimate
friends to tell them apart.-[From Northern Christian Advocate, Feb. 10, 1887.]
  Dr. Hamilton Franklin was born in Vt. Aug. 5, 1814. Studied medicine with Dr.
STRONG, of Honesdale, Pa. Afterwards entered Jefferson Medical college at Phila-

  Allis WHITNEY was born in Harford, Pa. He settled in 1835 in the then thriving
town Honesdale and worked at the carpenter's trade until his health failed and phy-
sicians advised him to follow an out of door business. In 1849 he started in the livery
business in a small way and built up a prosperous trade to which his sons George and
Horace finally succeeded. He added farming, having three large farms in his pos-
session at his death. For many years he was a director in the Wayne County Agri-

he was chosen first lieut., but failing health compelled him to resign his commission
in Jan. 1863. That he was held in high regard by his townsmen is shown by his
holding all but one of the offices in Thompson. In 1878 he was elected county com-
