Death Friday removed another of the old residents of this county, Miss Betsey Spaulding Barrett of Hinsdale. She had passed the century mark, being at the time of her death, 100 years, five months and seven days old.

Miss Barrett was born in a cottage located about one half mile from the place where she died. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Barrett.

Her father was a native of Connecticut and was twice married. Betsey being by his first wife, whose maiden name was Miss Alice Cady. Of five children born to them Betsey was the youngest [sic]. Three of the family, were boys and two were girls. Nathan Barrett, her father, died when 50 years old and her mother was quite young at her death.

Her brother, Albe Cady Barrett, who was the oldest of the family, was very prominent in Pennsylvania politics. He moved to that state when 19 years of age, and took a great interest in educational affairs. He was elected state representative and with Thaddeus Stevens and Thomas H. Burrows was instrumental in securing the first law in that state for free public schools. Betsey Barrett received her education in Hinsdale. Much of her life had been spent in nursing. After the death of her parents she lived with her sister, Mrs. Laura Pierce.

"Aunt Betsey."  as she was familiarly called, was adept in doing fancy work. For several years she had made her home with Mrs. C. Pierce and Alden H. Pierce. She was a great reader and had read the bible through several times, the last time, being during her 80th year, when she began September 26 and finished April 26. Her eyesight and hearing were remarkably good up to the last. She thought a great deal of society and was much loved by her friends. She was a great friend of Mrs. Clark, who died at Hinsdale at a good old age a short time ago. Her 100th birthday was quietly observed, many of her friends and townspeople calling to extend congratulations.

The surviving members of her family are a half sister, Mrs. Mary Watkins, who is 76 years old, of Hinsdale, and a half brother, Charles Chandler, 80, of Oswego, N.Y.

The following note is copied from "My Many Roots and Branches" posted by Doris Wheeler on Ancestry.com.

"Attended the Baptist Church in Hamburg and petitioned the Hamburg church for permission to establish 'The Baptist Church of Christ in Eden." This was granted and Rev. Hascall became the new church's minister in 1817.  After his wife died, he accompanied his son Jonathan, Jr. to Evans where he became the first pastor of a new church there. He later moved with his son's family to the Town of Brant."
