Died: July 12th, 1857, of Onaemia, Mrs. H.E. Hitchcock, wife of Alonzo Hitchcock, Esq., of Chicago, aged 34 years and 10 months.
Mrs. H., born Miss Hannah E. Hallenbeck, was a native of Chenango Co., New York, and a graduate of the Oneida Conference Seminary, of the class of 1847. Her superior natural abilities cultivated by a thorough and systematic course of education, fitted her for a prominent position in society, which by her rare talents and taste she might have won distinction as an artist. To a mind refined by culture, she added a heart warmed with every sentiment, and keenly alive to the joys and sorrows of those around her. In her own family she had suffered much. the victim of disease herself she has twined the cypress and planted the rose bud on the graves of three of her children whose young days in the beautiful language of the poet, "Have set as sets the morning star, / That goes not down behind the darkened / West, But fades away in the clear light of Heaven / Her own sun has set at noon. Chicago Daily Press.
The above concise and beautiful tribute to one who a few years since was a resident of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], brings back vividly to the memory of the writer of these lines, the person and character of the lamented deceased. The tidings contained in this notice have spread a cloud of sadness over the circle of friendship, in this place, who have been called to mourn the departure of one so gifted and accomplished.
It seems but a brief period since, that she stood at the altar of wedded vows, and now death has dissolved the countless ties which bound together the clustering inmates of a happy home. It is indeed difficult to realize that she is gone, separated as she was by distance from the many associations and friends of her youth, in the West. Yet loving hearts gathered at her dying couch and a crushed and bereaved husband surveys a home, whose light is quenched in the darkness of the sepulcher.
"She that with smiles lit up the hall, / And cheered with songs the hearth / Alas! for love, if thou wert all, / And naught beyond, oh earth!"
