October, 1911, I learned of a family of Hearnes living in Savannah, Ga., who came from Waterford, in Waterford County, Ireland. They were seafaring people and followed the sea till after the civil war in the United States, and were blockade runners during that war. The eldest was named William Hearn, who had a son William J., and he a son, R. B., who is connected with the fire department in Savannah, Ga.

Mrs. Frances Hearn, wife of William Henry, died in Norfolk, Va., October 1911, and was buried in Savannah. She left three step-children, James C. Hearn and Mrs. Adolph Abrahams, of Savannah, and Miss Katherine Hearn, of Norfolk. They write me the family records were destroyed in a large fire in 1884, hence have little now.

Pattie Sharwood, a neice of Marianne Farningham Hearne, has recently gone to a foreign land, as a Baptist missionary, and another neice, Lisbeth Sharwood, is doing missionary work throughout England. In March, 1900, Marianne Farningham Hearne commenced to write her autobiography, A Working Woman's Life," and completed it early in 1908, when it issued from the press 280 pages. Her last book, "Songs of Joy and Faith," 208 pages, issued 1909. She was taken seriously ill, late in 1907, and at the end of January, 1908, the doctor thought she could only live a few days, but she rallied and recovered some measure of her strength, and was able after a few months, to resume her contributions to the "Christian World" and "Sunday School Times." She spent the summer in her cottage by the sea in Barmouth, Wales, then returned to her home in Northampton, and about the middle of February, 1909, became very ill, but improved a little and had a great longing to return to her beloved Barmouth, where she had a tiny cottage on the mountain side. The doctor gave permission for the journey and she went. Her weakness increased after her arrival and the end of her earthly life came peacefully in her sleep (after three days of unconsciousness), in the early hours
