HATCH The death on August 2d of Mrs. Adaline Weeks (Sanford) Hatch, daughter of Mr. Isaac Sanford, removes from Woods Hole one of the oldest residents of the village. It is interesting to note how much of material and civic advancement in the world was embraced in the span of one human life. She was born November 12, 1829, and lived to be nearly eighty-nine years old. When she was born there was not a single railroad in the United States operated by steam locomotives. The first successful electric telegraph was established fifteen years later. The homes were heated by open fireplaces, and the cooking was done before the open fire and in the brick oven, or even by more primitive arrangements. The lighting of the house was by tallow candles, or whale oil lamps. Education, for the most of the people, was confined to the little red school house. There were no graded schools, no high schools, no normal schools. The science of medicine was in a very crude elementary stage. When sickness occurred there were no nurses, but neighbors came in to help care for the sick. Of religious privileges in Woods Hole there were none. The people went to meeting in Falmouth (they did not go "to church" then) on Sabbath days, and the services were in the forenoon and afternoon. In conditions like these Mrs. Hatch spent her childhood and youth. She saw it develop from a small hamlet to its present size and importance. In 1852 the Church of the Messiah was organized, and she cast in her lot with the new enterprise. In 1854 she married Charles E. Hatch, being the first bride at the altar of the then new Church. The fruit of that marriage was three daughters who survive her: Mrs. Franklin L. Gifford, Mrs. Frederick R. Gifford, both of Woods Hole, and Mrs. A. F. Shiverick of Chicago. She also had four grandsons who are now in the service of their country: William Maxon Gifford. Lieut. Commander of the U.S.S. Beaufort, Ensign Charles Edmund Lloyd Gifford, son of Mr. Franklin L. Gifford; and Lieut. Arthur Shiverick and Lieut. Francis Tobey Shiverick, sons of Mr. A.F. Shiverick of Chicago; and one granddaughter, Mrs. George Appleton Griffin of White Plains, N.Y., and two great-grandchildren, Charlotte and Gifford Griffin. Mr. Hatch died in 1888. Mrs. Hatch was confirmed in 1887, and ever continued a faithful communicant of the church until her death, thirty-one years. She will be remembered by those who knew her best, as full of kindness to the sick and suffering, a staunch friend, and always alert for the things that are good and true. She retained her interest in her friends and in the affairs of the present time almost- to the very last. Her patient waiting for the end and her faith and confidence in her Heavenly Father will be a blessed memory to her children and to all who knew her. George Fisher.
