Mrs Partington’s husband Mr B P Shillaber mourns his wife, daughter of Maximilian son de Rochemont, a Huguenot family near Portsmouth NH. Her father once taught several European languages before moving to Louisiana to run a newspaper and was murdered amid the Louisiana transfer’s political turmoil. New York notes state twenty five New York governors have held the State chair in 106 years. eight survive: Fish, Seymour, Clark, Fenton, Hoffman, Tilden, Robinson, Cornell. Ten governors served two terms: the Clintons, Jay, Tompkins, Marcy, Seward, Morgan, Seymour, Hoffman, Fenton.
