©fl;trrn=3^of|Ui5ion " There are now living, and there have been in the past, many of the female descendants of ' good Old John Ogden ' who have inherited in a marked degree his sturdy virtues. Conspicuous among these was Sarah Piatt [171] Haines, who in Thomas C. Doremus found a worthy husband, happy to cooperate with her in her good works. To those who knew Mrs. Doremus only in later life it seemed almost incredible that a fragile woman, suffering from delicate health and the infirmities of age, could not only conceive, but personally execute, works of charity of a magnitude to tax even the powers of a strong man ; but the Master whose work she was on gave her the strength to accomplish her labors for the benefit of suffering mankind. One of the founders and President of the Mission at Grand Ligne in Canada ; one of the founders and Vice-President of ' The Nur- sery and Child's Hospital' (one of the most benevolent and useful institu- one of the founders and President of the Board of Lady Supervisors of the New York State Woman's Hospital tions in the city of New York) ; President of the ' Woman's Missionary Society ;' First Directress of the ' Women's Prison Association and Home for Discharged Convicts ;' a Manager of the 'New York House and School of Industry'—in these and other fields of labor she spent a life made beautiful by charity. Of her warm and generous heart, of her private virtues, this is not the place to speak ; they are enshrined in the hearts of her children, and of hundreds who have cause to bless her memory. " A beautiful mural tablet has been erected to her in the South Reformed Church, Fifth Avenue, New York, which is the only tablet which has ever been erected to a lady by any church of this denomination. It reads : " ' Well '"In Memory of Sarah Piatt, wife of Thomas C. Doremus, who peacefully " fell asleep in Jesus " January 2gth, 1877 Aged 74 " 'She united with this church September nth, 1823 reported of for good works, she hath brought up chil- dren, she hath lodged strangers, she hath washed the saints' feet, she hath relieved the afflicted, she hath diligently followed every good work— i. Tim., 5 : 10. " ' 250 ;
