Angelina Morse Sargent, wife of James Sargent, died yesterday morning at the family home, No. 98 East avenue. Mrs. Sargent fell the day before Christmas, fracturing her hip, this being the indirect cause of her death.
Mrs. Sargent was born in Winchester, N.H., of New England stock, and had lived in Rochester for the last 40 years. Next April, Mr. and Mrs. Sargent would have celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. Both have been members of the First Universalist Church for many years, and on the day before Mrs. Sargent's fall they presented the church with a parsonage at Chestnut and Lawn streets.
The decedent has been active in charitable work and with her husband has been connected with many public beneficiaries. She leaves her husband, one daughter, Mrs. John [Josephine] Force, and one grandson, Sargent Force. The funeral, to be held to-morrow, will be private.
At a meeting of the First Universalist Society last night, resolutions were adopted formally accepting the gift of the parsonage offered by Mr. and Mrs. Sargent. The resolutions cite that the gift in view of the death of Mrs. Sargent might well be regarded as a monument to her memory, and a daily reminder of the generosity of the givers.
The following tribute to the memory of Mrs. Sargent, prepared by Rev. Dr. Asa Saxe, who for many years was her pastor, was adopted by a rising vote:
"In the death of Mrs. Sargent, our church has sustained inexpressible and irreparable loss. She has been with us for forty years and her presence has always been a benediction. Her sweet spirit has diffused itself everywhere. Loyal to the truth and to the cause, we could always depend upon her helpfulness and strength. She has left memories most precious and we fully believe that she has gone to the beautiful country.
"We give her up with reluctance, but feel that our loss is her gain. Our sympathies are extended most heartily to our bereaved brother, her husband, who has done so much for us, and to all their friends.
"Among the golden links that bind us to the past she will always have a prominent place."
