M. Blake, at Parker, South Dakota, at half pas t eight on the evening of January 16, 1896, Mrs. Margaret Hand, aged 89 years, 8 months and 8 days. ~ Margaret Wheeler was born at Harpersfield, Ohio, on the 8th day of May, A.D. 1806. She was t he daughter of Judge Wheeler who held the office of district Judge of the Harpersfield distri ct 14 years. Her eldest brother was at one time United States senator from Ohio and two youn ger brothers were physicians of prominence in the state. She was married to Alvah Hand in th e year 1826. Eight children were born to this marriage. Five of whom are now living. They are E.W. Hand of Chicago; Mrs. M. E. Crandall of Minnesota; Mrs. H. M. Blake, of Parker ; and James A. Hand and Alvah Hand. The late Hon. George H. Hand, of Yankton was also a son. The family removed from Ohio to Portage, Wisconsin, in 1849 where they resided twenty years , and in 1869, the subject of this notice removed to Dakota where a number of her children ha d preceded her. She made her home with her son, George H. Hand in Yankton, until his death , when she went to reside with her daughter, Mrs. Blake, at Parker, where she continued her a bode until her death. Mrs. Hand was a member of the Protestant-Episcopal Church, with whic h she united more than fifty years ago. She was a devoted wife, a fond and loving mother and a true and consistent Christian. Her h eart was ever open to the demands of true benevolence. Her sympathetic nature always stood r eady to aid in relieving want and distress and though possessed of a large family that demand ed and received her most devoted attention, she gave a home and parental care to three orpha n children who grew up with her own family and who in after years regarded her with the mos t cordial filial affection. She was unusually bright and cheerful during the last few months of her life. She seemed t o realize that her last hours upon earth were not far away, and sought frequent consolation i n closer communion with God.
