Hannah Littlefield

Obituary, transcribed by Hortense Haley, from the Journal, Tbhursday, May 23, 1889. Swanville. Mrs Hannah, wife of State Constable John A. Partridge, aged 55 years, died Sunday morning after an illness of about two months. Mrs Partridgfe has not been a person of vigorous health for years. But has been industrious and accomplished more than some ladies would in similar circumstances. She was an estimable lady and her influence was and is plainly visible. They had no children but have taken to their own home several boys and thrown around them parental love and devotion, and who attribute their success in life to the noble principals taught them and the firm injunctions enjoined upon them while young by Mrs. Partridge. Mrs Partridge was a member of the Littlefield family of Prospect. The only surviving members of the family are Stephen Littlefield in the west state of Wisconsin, I think. Freeman Littlefield of Winterport, and Nathaniel, residing on the old farm in Prospect. Captain Partridge and Wife lived upon the Tripp farm so called, which they bought about twenty years ago. It is just over the Swanville line in Searsport, where the funeral was held, and the remains interred in the burying ground at Prospect Marsh.
