Margaret Stevenson Hutchins - Obituary
March 10, 1812 - April 27, 1900
Mrs. Margaret Hutchins died at the home of her son Barton, Friday, at 1:30 p.m., of old age. Her age was 88 years, 1 month, 17 days. She has reared a family of nine children, five of whom are living. Her husband died 22 years ago. Since 1868 she has made hes [her] home with her son Barton.
Monday her body was taken to Nashua for interment. The family desires to thank those who kindly assisted them in the sickness and death of their mother.
[Note: I calculated the date of birth for Martha Stevenson based on information in her obituary (above). This is somewhat different from what was recorded by census enumerators over the years. In 1850, she reported her age as 34, in 1860 as 44, in 1870 as 65, in 1880 as 66, in 1885 as 70 and in 1895 as 83. The only census where the age is consistent with the birthday of 1812 was the state census taken in 1895.]
