The Hon. ALBERT W. FAINE, of Bangor, Me., has collected the papers which he has contributed to this magazine during the last three years, into an attractive volume, under the title of PAINE GENEALOGY, IPSWICH BRANCH. To the articles already published in the Records, he has added several interesting and valuable documents that vividly illustrate the early history of the family and the character of its founders, besides various newly acquired facts completing its lineage to a recent date. The book of 184 pages, including a full index, is very handsomely printed and has on its cover an authentic impression of the Coat of Arms of the founders of the family in this country. Copies may be obtained of the author, of H. H. Carter, 3 Beacon St., Boston, and of C. L. Woodward, 78 Nassau St., New York.

190. Children of Daniel (VII) and Irene White, all born. in South Hadley, Mass.

263. ELIZA (VIII.), born March 4, 1825, married August 23, 1858, Nathan S. Weeks, of Du Quoine, Ill., who in the war of the rebellion enlisted May 15, 1861, in Co. A, 18th Regt. Ill. Volunteers, being one of the first to respond to the call of our martyred President for volunteers in defence of our beloved country. He was in the battles of Fort Henry and Fort Donaldson, Tenn., and was killed at the latter, Feb. 15, 1862, and his body was taken home and buried at the same time and in the same grave with twenty of his fellow patriots.

Eliza married second, March 9, 1873, Benjamin E. Warner, of Rosemond, Ill., who was the youngest son of Benjamin Ruggles Warner and Hannah Nichols, and was born 1810, at Brookfield, Conn., and afterward removed to Barrington, Mass., to Hinsdale, Mass., and thence to Rosemond, Ill., in 1856, with a colony of five others who commenced the settlement of that place.

In her very early years Eliza manifested some of her father's fondness for mathematics, and for teaching. At the age of only eight years she went through "Practical Arithmetic," understanding it well, and at the age of fifteen she commenced teaching, and continued it, as her health would permit, during thirty years. In 1852, through the Boston Ladies' Education Society she went to Illinois as a missionary teacher, and founded the Du Quoine Female Seminary, and there married her first husband, in full anticipation of a missionary life in home or foreign lands. But he was one of those noble sacri fices appointed for his country's altar, early in the war, and she was left a widow, and in very feeble health. In what she calls her "Family Record," she has preserved the names and data of nearly five hundred of her pupils, most of whom she has seen enlisted in the service of Christ, and many go out as active Christian teachers. She resides at Rosemond.
