    George W. de Rochemont.

    George W. de Rochemont, 73, died at his home in Little Rest last Friday after a lingering illness with Bright's disease. Mr. de Rochemont was born in Portsmouth N.H. January 8, 1837. His grandfather came from France and belonged to the French nobility before the Reformation when the family was driven from France. This ancestor was married to a Miss Dewitt from Holland, who was a young cousin, because of the custom of intermarriage between noble families of different nations. This branch of the family emigrated to America in 1806. George de Rochemont lived upon his father's farm in Portsmouth until 17 years of age, when he served apprenticeship in the brass and bronze foundry business which he followed for 52 years. For 20 years he was forman for the "Adams & Wesetake Manufacturing Co. in Bridgeport, Ct. He was married to Miss Catherine Stores of Springvale, Me., whom he survived, and the couple celebrated their golden wedding. Always retaining his passion for farming he came to Brimfield a few years ago and enjoyed that occupation in his later life. He was a member of the Methodist church for 50 years and a consistent Christian, but on account of deafness he had not attended church in his old age, though he kept up his religious interest in the reading of sermons and other religious literature. The body was taken Maine and placed beside that of his wife in the Springvale cemetery.

    George married STORER, Catherine on 21 Oct 1857 in Newington, Rockingham, New Hampshire, USA. Catherine was born on 8 Jan 1837 in Great Falls, Somersworth, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 16 May 1908; was buried in Springvale, York, Maine, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
