f the Rev. Jas. Creighton of London,
Eng. Her funeral will proceed from the dwelling of Mr. O., in May
Street, this afternoon at half-past three o'clock, which the friends and
acquaintances are requested to attend." The interest of the Methodist
fraternity in this lady arises from the fact of her being the daughter
of one of Mr. Wesley's most intimate friends and associates, and whose
home was the scene of this great man's oft-repeated visits when she was
but fourteen years of age. Her husband, Mr. George Odiorne, met her in
London on one of his business trips across the ocean, and they were
married there, she accompanying him to his American home. Her son, James
Creighton Odiorne, born at his grandfather's house in London, graduated
at Yale College in 1826, and was one of the founders of the New England
Anti-Slavery Society, among whose members was the late William Lloyd
Garrison, and of which Oliver Johnson, Esq., is the only living member.
The next meeting of the Society occurs on Monday, April 12. Rev. L. B.
Bates will present a sketch of the late Rev. Lewis Bates.
