Notizen zu dieser Person
REFN: 883
Mrs. Electa C. Doolittle died in Oakland yesterday at the age ninetyone
years and four months. She retained all her facultys to within a few
months of her death, and read the daily papers and maginizes with the
avidity of a young student.
She was born in the state of New York, and witnessed this country
pass through two victorious wars. Her home was on the shores of Lake
Champlain during the war of 1812 and she witnessed the naval battle
between the British and Commodore McDonough's fleet. She saw the
captured vessels brought to shore dismantled, with thier decks covered
with dead and wounded. She would relate these scenes from memory as
vividly as though they happened but afew month ago. A descendent of
revolutionary stock, she was intensely patriotic, and bid good-by to
several of her descendants who volunteered in the latewar, and never to
return.
She was a granddaughter of a sister of Roger Sherman of New Haven of
revolutionary fame. Mrs. Doolittle came to this state someten years
ago. She was the aunt of Mr. Wm. H Sears, Mrs. Joe T. Hoyt, Mrs. D.H.
Whittmore and Mrs. E. L. Cutter. She has one great-grand-daughter
livingin this city, Mrs. Edith Scott Waters, whose father, Wm. Waters,
has long been connected with Morning Call- San Francisco Evening
Bulletin. July 12 (no date given)
This lady was the mother of Mrs. J. B. REITER of Northville, SD and
H. H. DOOLITTLE of Roanoke. There is just cause for pride in being a
descendant of such a race as are the children of Mrs. Doolittle.
