PRESENTATION OF A SOUVENIR SPOON. On February 14 about forty members of the Ruth Hart Chapter met at the home of the Misses Baldwin to celebrate the ninety-first birthday of its oldest " true Daughter," Mrs. Mary Todd Hall, and also to present her with the souvenir spoon given by the National Society in recognition of the fact that she is the daughter of a revolutionary soldier. Mrs. Hall was born in the village of Northford, town of North Branford, Connecticut, February 18, 1805. Her father, Thelus Todd, was born May 12, 1763, and died February 1, 1846. His father and brothers had been participators in the revolutionary struggle, the former making gun-locks during the war, the latter being in active service. Thelus was drafted at the age of sixteen, and served six weeks when he was taken ill. So persistent was this illness, he was finally sent home on a furlough, and before the latter expired Cornwallis had surrendered. When the fact became known that the boy Thelus was going to war, the neighbors came from all the country round, bringing him as much powder and shot as he could carry. He lived all his life in North Branford, and was a wealthy man, prominent in church and social life.
