Death of Mrs. Maria R. Hemiup

WAS AM OLD GENEVAN, ARDENT SUPPORTER OF WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE AND THINKER ON NATURAL PHENOMENA.

Mrs. Maria Remington Hemiup, 79, years of age, died this morning at 4 o'clock at her home No. 19 Genesee street. For some months Mrs. Hemiup has been in declining health, but last Tuesday she was taken suddenly worse and gradually became weaker until her death occurred this morning. Mrs. Hemiup was one of the oldest residents of Geneva, as she had made it her home continuously for the past 62 years.

Mrs. Hemiup was born in Boston, Erie county, a little town near Fredonia, N. Y., on March 18, 1832. She was the second child of six children who were born to Seth Williston Remington and his wife, Maria Pickering Remington. Her father was a Universalist minister, and Mrs. Hemiup was born during his first pastorate at Boaton. At the age of eleven years Mrs. Hemiup went with her parents to Churchville, ten miles west of Rochester, where the family remained until Mrs. Hemiup's father accepted a call to the Universalist church in Geneva, during the year of 1849. Two years after her coming to Geaeva Mrs. Hemiup became the bride of George M. Hemiup, a young man who was a member of her father's church and who met her at an introductory reception the evening following the arrival of her father and family in Geneva.

Throughout her long residence in Geneva Mrs. Hemiup has taken a more or less active part in public affairs, varying at different periods of her life. In early life she was interested and active in the Universalist church and later in life she was also an active and enthusiastic supporter of woman's suffrage. She was a charter member of the Geneva Political Equality Club and on numerous occasions her home on Genesee street has been the scene of important suffrage gatherings.

But doubtlessly Mrs. Hemiup will be remembered longest for the two books J that she has written. She was an independent thinker and her thoughts were recorded in her books. In her autobiography she gives credit for her intellectual inspiration to one O. S. Fowler, a naturalist and phrenologist, who delivered a course of lectures in Geneva shortly after the commencement of her father's pastorate here. She declared he advised her not to be afraid to use her mind and added that this advice was a staff on which she leaned throughout her life. Her first book dealt with her reasonings in connection with thermotics and was entitled the "Law of Heat", published in 1886. In her later book her thoughts enveloped a large field. It appeared in 1907 under the title "Our World, the Earth a Revolving Engine with a Central Propelling Power." On this book, Mrs. Hemiup received many complimentary notices from various papers and magazines.

Mrs. Hemiup is survived only by one daughter, Mrs. Verne Hemiup Haley of Geneva. The funeral will take place at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from her late home. Burial will be made in the Washington street Cemetery.
