W. Livesley, who died in this city on Friday last, September 27th, was perhaps one of the oldest, if not the oldest woman in the state of Washington. She died of old age, at the home of her son, Mr. Geo. Livelsey, who kindly furnishes The Herald the following brief facts concerning the aged lady's long life: E. W. Livesley, daughter of Captain Waddle, was born in Liverpool, England, 1798. The last she heard of her father, he sailed in command of a new merchant vessel during the Napoleon wars, and the vessel was supposed to have been lost at sea. She had an elder brother, an officer on board of the war vessel Bellerophon, under Lord Nelson; his vessel had taken many prizes during the war, but like his father, the family looked in vain for him to return. During former wars an accurate list of the lost was difficult to obtain. Mother removed to City Chester, Cheshire county, famous for its stone wall around the city; here she lived with a Mr. Brown, a merchant in the dry goods business, and was a trusted saleswoman until her marriage to George Livesley, of Castle Hill, Northwich, Cheshire, and resided on the estate until about 1841, when my father took passage with his family of six children for the west. After a tedious voyage we arrived in New York. Father had supplied himself with plenty of goods, thinking the far west then a wilderness; but on Lake Erie the anxiety of my parents nearly terminated fatally. One night while opposite Cleveland another vessel ran into ours, the latter began to sink and would have done so had not the vessels got entangled. Father and Mother grouped their children together and passed them onto the other vessel. My younger brother was missing when the roll was called. Father went down again and heard the cries of Brother William. The water had wakened him up; soon all were transferred, but without clothing. The sailors had orders to cut away, and down went the vessel and all worldly goods, excepting the money Father carried in his belt. This ended our western voyage, for Father bought a piece of land about thirty miles from Cleveland, and lived but a few years there. Father and Mother had both been active citizens and soon found plenty of friends, and we all soon felt at home. Business soon called my father back again to the old estate in England, where we all resided for about six years. We returned to the United States in 1857. We visited at Cleveland, and after one year moved to Wisconsin and then to Nebraska, where father died, Mother then making her home with me. After living ten years in Nebraska, I moved in the spring of 1880 to Sumner, Pierce Co., Washington. Mother stood the journey well, and soon made hosts of friends. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church. In the fall of 1889 we moved to North Yakima, returning to Orting, and back to North Yakima in 1895. Always looking on the bright side of life, a faithful Christian who was always contented wherever her lot was cast, Mother has gone to her rest at the age of very nearly 98 years." The remains were interred on Saturday at 2 p.m., Rev. Rose conducting the ceremonies. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - picture - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
