j\Irs. i\Iillington had come from Glens Falls, New York. Init 

 the Bishops were of New Russia, Essex County, in the Adircjn- 

 dacks. On her return east she lived in Glens Falls until the death 

 of her husband, when she went to the Bishops at her birthplace 

 and there she remained. On the elevation that is the cemetery of 

 New Russia and where inscriptions attest to the prominence of the 

 Bishops, I have read the inscription on the monument : 



Lucy A. Bishop 



wife of 



Stokes P. Millington 



1825-1900 



In the village a great boulder has been placed by neighbors, 

 friends and visitors, and from the bronze tablet one may read : 



To the memory of 

 THE BISHOP FAMILY 



1793-1905 



Endowed with many talents 



Leaders in pioneer activities 



Good neighbors 



Lovers of these hills 



Lucy Millington was naturalist, writer, nurse to the afifllicted, 

 endowed with keen observation and poetic fancy, a leading spirit 

 in her neighborhoods. She was author of "Summer Days at Lake 

 George" long ago published in St. Nicholas, and of other articles. 



In Michigan her son Frank, and Dr. Bishop's two sons and 

 three daughters, were my mates in school. Frank is gone, as also 

 two of the Bishop daughters and the older son, and the younger 

 son is in a neighboring state ; Viola Bishop McGregor still lives 

 there in her father's house.
