HECKMAN - A Beloved Elmira Lady Called to Her Reward Last Week. In the death of his beloved wife, Hattie J. HECKMAN Rockwell, on Monday morning last, Hon. H. H. Rockwell is assured of the deep and sincere sympathy of the entire community, insufficient as it may be to dispel the dark shadow which has settled over his happy home life. Seldom does the city lose a lady of more beautiful character, consistent piety and charity and kindly and lovable personality than Mrs. Rockwell. Since removing to this city, thmrty-two years ago,she has constantly endeared herself to her many friends whom she made and whose death will be mourned as will that of few ladies in our community. Mrs. Rockwell was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abram B. Heckman and was born in the town of Lansing, Tompkins county, February 17, 1841. Her parents later removed to Angelica, Allegany county, and in 1863 she came to Elmira with her sister, the late Mrs. Jackson Richardson. In September, 1871, she was married to Major Rockwell. There were three children born to them, only one of whom, Rena, is left with her father, to mourn the irreparable loss which has come up on them. She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. D. Davenport, of Paw Paw, IL, and Mrs. William T. Riley, of Hailey, ID. For the past three years Mrs. Rockwell has been suffering with a chronic disease, but bore her sufferings with Christian faith and gentle resignation. The funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock at her late home, No. 364 West Clinton street, Rev. Thomas K. Beecher officiating. The interment, which was in Woodlawn, was private.
