Miss Foote was the daughter of the late Hon. Charles A. Foote, and was born in this village September 1st, 1811. At an early age she became a member of family of the late Herman D. Gould and ever after remained a self-sacrificing and devoted member thereof—a devotion rarely excelled.

In early life she became a member of the 2d Presbyterian church in this village, asn was always a devout member thereof, and her devotion to duty always proved her to be a sincere Christian. Some years ago she moved to Chicago and there remained a member of the Gould family until her death.

Her remains (accompanied by Mrs. H.D. Gould) were brought to this village Monday and interred in Woodland Cemetery in the Herman D. Gould lot.
