"Again our community has been shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of one whom we have been accustomed to see among us for many years. Nellie Ida Partridge, wife of Aaron Sargent, while going about her household tasks in usual health on Thursday. Dec. 11, suddenly was stricken with death. She prepared dinner as usual and she and her husband ate it together, lingering in pleasant conversation until about one o'clock, at which time he returned to his work, leaving her alone. About three o'clock friends calling found her lying on her bedroom floor, dead. Mrs. Sargent was 48 years of age and has been married to Aaron Sargent since March 13, 1884. Three children survive her, Lola, who has a position in Springfield; Lena, wife of Noble Clark and Fanny, wife of Harris Drew of this town. A son, Percy, died by accident while quite young. Mrs. Sargent was a most faithful and loving wife and mother, and neighbor and friend esteemed by all who knew her. Of her might truly be said. "She hath done what she could." The funeral was held at the church where she was present the preceding Sunday at the services. Rev. Glen Douglas officiating. Interment was in Riverside cemetery."
