The Litchfield Enquirer, in issue of Jan. 27, 1881, contains the following:
IN MEMORIAM:
The little hamlet of Ramford has met with an irreparable loss in the death of Mrs. Malinda (Sackett) Ford, the faithful and devoted wife of Simeon D. Ford, who entered into rest Sabbath morning, January 23d, aged 53. A personal and intimate acquaintance with the deceased as a friend, a neighbor and scholar in the Sabbath School for nearly thirty-six years, enables me to form some true estimate of her worth. A more completely developed Christian character we have rarely seen. If there was one trait more prominent in her character than others, it was fidelity. Fidelity to God and man. Fidelity as a wife, a mother, a Christian, a neighbor and friend. Modest and reticent in her manners, yet she was found cooperating in every good work. At home, in the prayer meeting, in the circles of the neighborhood, in the house of sickness, of joy, or of sorrow, she well filled her place. Our deepest sympathies are with the bereaved family, while the whole community mourn her loss.
