Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 25, 1903 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Deacon D'Wight McKinney - In the death of Deacon DeWight McKinney, the town of Orwell has lost one of its most substantial and respected citizens. His death occurred Monday afternoon, March 9. He was born at Redfield in 1830, being the son of Deacon Chancey and Sophia (Hunt) McKinney. Early in the history of New England his ancestors settled in Connecticut, emigrating there from the north of Ireland, to which part some of America's most illustrious sons can trace their origin. His father was a typical New England man, strict and honest in his business transactions, and earnest and sincere in his performance of religious duties. His word was as good as his bond, and his fellow man loved and trusted him, because of his excellent qualities of mind and heart His son, DeWight, in his life reproduced the same characteristics. He was married in 1855 to Mary A. Nunn, who survives him. Six children blessed their union, of whom three are living: Burton, Frank and Mrs. A. H. Potter, and to whom was accorded the privilege of administering help and comfort to their beloved father during his declining years and last sickness. All of his life was spent at Redfield and Orwell, moving to the latter place about forty years ago. For nearly two years he had been suffering from paralysis, the effect of which undermined his constitution and ended his earthly life. His obsequies were held at his late home, March 15, Rev. T. T. Davies, assisted by the Orwell Grange, officiating. The floral tributes of respect were many and beautiful, which were highly appreciated by the afflicted family. Deacon McKinney was in his town a representative m , and naturally took his place as leader in the social and religious life of the community. Every movement for the betterment of his fellow man found in him a true supporter. He was broad in his ideas, deep in his sympathies, progressive in his character. His life was devoted to the service of man and to the glory of God. His life was one of activity, and he served the public faithfully and well, without compensation, excepting that which comes from the satisfaction of doing ones whole duty. A man of wide observation, keen intelligence and rare judgment, and above all, he was actuated in all his life by lofty Christian principles. The departed was a man whom we could rely upon. His friendship was sincere and his character was an embodiment of the religion he professed. Faithful and generous, kind and sympathetic in all his life. He entered heartily into all the activities of the church, and whether in office or not he did his part in a true Christian spirit, never shirking his responsibilities. He was in his own element while working for or giving to the cause of Christ. There was no box of ointment too precious for him to pour on his Master's head. He never murmured because of what he did, the only murmur that came from him was because he could not do more. He was a grand, good man, rich in manhood and Christian character, a "disciple whom Jesus loved," and an Israelite indeed, without guile. We think of him as a man of God and the world is brighter, happier and better because of the influence for good he exerted in it -T.T.D. | McKinney, Dwight (I45332)

| 14727 | Newspaper Article - Wednesday, May 25, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Kasoag - Sunday about 6:00 p.m. the people in this place and vicinity were thrown into great excitement on learning that Willie, the eighteen-year-old son of Aaron Wright, who lives about one mile from this place, had committed suicide by hanging. It seems there was nothing unusual noticed about him by the rest of the family, as he appeared to be in good health and spirits. He did the chores at the barn, brought in the milk and went out. Sometime afterward his mother called him to breakfast, but he did not come and they thought no more of it, as he was in the habit of going for a call at some of the neighbors without saying anything to the family. His father went away soon after breakfast and during the forenoon the rest of the family went to Sunday school. Sometime in the afternoon his father returned and on learning from some of the smaller children that a few days before Willie had told them they would find him a corpse someday, he began a search and found him about twenty rods back of the barn, five or six feet in the woods, hanging to the limb of a large beech tree. Help was summoned. He was cut down, taken to the house, the coroner notified. It is a terrible shock to the parents and they have the sympathy of the entire community. | Wright, William (I52929)

| 14734 | Newspaper Article - Wednesday, November 14, 1906 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Local Notes - The Revolutionary war pension list was closed with the death of Mrs. Esther Sumner Damon, aged ninety-three years, the only surviving widow of a soldier of the Revolution, which occurred at her home in Plymouth Union, Vermont, last Sunday. Esther Sumner Damon was the last revolutionary war widow. She married Noah Damon on September 6, 1835. Upon his death on July 2, 1853 she applied for, and was granted a pension on October 25, 1855. This pension was increased by Congress on February 28, 1905. She died on November 11, 1906. She holds the distinction of being the last pensioner of the American Revolution. A 1903 US Pension report lists 2 Revolutionary War widows {E.S.Damon and Rebecca Mayo of Virginia} and 3 "Real Daughters" of Am. Rev. Veterans on Pension List-see summary of N. Damon war record below. Spouse Sally Damon Father Noah Damon In the Boston Transcript issues of Oct. 3 and Oct. 17, 1934 are items relating to Sally and Nancy Damon of Chester, Vt. ROLL OF HONOR Noah Damon was father of Sally Damon, who married John Johnson and of Nancy Damon, who married Luther Johnson, and so was one of the progenitors of these two branches. Further than this I have been able to learn nothing of his life, excepting his Revolutionary war record, which I obtain from the pension department at Washington, which condensed. is as follows: He was horn at Milton, Mass., Aug. 25, 1760. No record given as to when he enlisted, or in what regiment or company, but that he served under different captains; first under Captain Ebenezer Tucker, in April, 1775. During latter part of 1776 he served three months under Captain Stark and sustained a bayonet wound of right thigh on Long Island. His services are mentioned under different captains and colonels during the years of 1775, 1776, 1777, 1778, 1779 and 1780. He was pensioned January 9, 1850 at $80.00 per annum, from March 1, 1831, at the New Hampshire Agency. After the war he removed to Woodstock, Vermont, thence to Eaton, Province of Lower Canada, where his first wife died. He married at Bridgewater, Vt., Sept. 6, 1835, Esther Sumner. He died at Benton, N. H., July 2, 1853. His widow, Esther S. Damon applied for pension, Oct. 25, 1855. Her claim was allowed, and increased by special act of Congress, Feb. 28, 1905. She died at Plymouth Union, Vermont, Nov. 11, 1906. She was the last pensioner of the Revolution. The pension records in Washington will verify this. Marr 13 Nov 1794, Springfield, VT Children Noah (1795-1875) Leonard (1798-1858) John (1799-1880) Nancy (1803-1850) Josephus (1806-1882) Silas (1808-1877) Allen (-1877) Damon, Esther Sumner Damon The Sentinel, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, November 22, 1906 Mrs. Esther Sumner Damon, of Plymouth Union, Vt. is dead. The historic interest associated with this event is the fact that she was the last of the Revolutionary pensioners, and the pension rolls for that war are now closed. Her death occurred 124 years after the war closed. Although she was 22 and he was 75 years of age when the marriage took place in 1835, no pension was granted Mr. Damon for his service in the Revolutionary war until 14 years later; so it can not be said she married him to get his pension.

| 14735 | Newspaper Article - Wednesday, November 16, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Fatal Fall of Gardner Towles - Gardner Towles left his brother's home in Adams, Jefferson County, Wednesday evening, for his home less than a quarter of a mile away. The night was very dark and a heavy storm of rain and sleet was falling. This was the last seen of Mr. Towles alive. Mrs. Towles thought she heard him call and went out, finally going to the home of Ira Towles. Not finding him, a search was begun which lasted all night. Early Thursday morning his hat, pipe and one shoe were found in what is known as the Lorraine Gulch. Later the body was found several rods away in some underbrush. The gulch is eighty feet deep at this place. Mr. Towles was 60 years old, a mason by trade and leaves a widow and three children. He had been a resident of the town of Lorraine all his life, was a man of good habits, and was widely known throughout that section. Near the roadway is a fence in which runs near the edge of the gulf. Mr. Towles evidently started to follow this fence in the direction of his home. In some way he became confused, it is thought, and fell off the edge of the bank, about fifty feet, where his body was caught in the brushes, evidently by his foot, and when his shoe gave way he fell the rest of the distance to the bottom of the gulf. | Towle, Gardner (I52474)

| 14736 | Newspaper Article - Wednesday, November 16, 1910 Daily Argus - Woman’s World - Remarkable Mount Vernon Woman - One of Mount Vernon’s remarkable women is Mrs. Elizabeth Hocking who has passed the 78th mile stone in years and has had 11 children, nine of whom are living; 60 grandchildren and 31 great grandchildren. Three of her sons and one daughter reside in this city. In the picture appears Mrs. Hocking, her son Frank, his son Frank Jr., and baby Cyril (Searle), the son of Frank Jr., all of New York. Mrs. Hocking has been a resident of Mount Vernon for thirty years, for the last five years living at 421 East Third street, with her son Alvin Hocking. She is bright and active, a good conversationalist and takes a lively interest in current events. Time has dealt gently with this wonderful old lady, retaining for her all her faculties, while so lightly touching her hair with silver, that she seems not a day over sixty years of age. Cornwall, England was the birth place of Elizabeth Williams, and it was there in June 1852 that she married to John Hocking. In 1866, just at the close of the Civil War she came to this country with three little children to join her husband who was then employed in digging a canal from the timber lands of Michigan to Lake Superior to be used for floating the logs to the lake. Mrs. Hocking too passage on the steamer “City of Boston” which was 15 days in making the journey, being overtaken by a severe storm and so buffeted by wind and wave that her passengers often despaired of reaching shore. Wearied from the hazardous trip across the Atlantic, Mrs. Hocking stayed in New York with friends of her husband for six weeks before attempting to go west. Upon reaching Marquette, Mich. , she found her husband living in a one room hut, with a bed, one chair and a table, hewed from rough logs, for furniture. The foreman of the gang, however, upon learning of her arrival, sent his men down to build a shanty for her use, which consisted of a cellar, a kitchen, two bedrooms and an attic. This she was able to make comfortable. Provisions at that time was bought in quantities, a barrel of flour sometimes costing $15.00. Mrs. Hocking gives a very amusing account of her first experience with the Indians. While she was preparing dinner one day, a canoe of Indians had come down the lake, but her first intimation of this was upon going to the door she was greeted amicably by an old white haired Indian who was dressed in full regalia. Mrs. Hocking was much frightened; but she soon grew friendly with her Indian neighbors who visited her frequently, especially after her son, William, was born in 1867; the first white child born in the Indian’s territory. A little white baby was a great curiosity to the squaws who flocked to see him so that Mrs. Hocking often entertained at “afternoon teas.” The rough life, however, proved too strenuous, so that her husband bought a lot in the city of Marquette and they moved there. Coming to Mount Vernon in 1880, they resided on Eleventh avenue near Fifth street for eleven years, then moved to Franklin avenue where Mr. Hocking died in 1895. Mrs. Hocking has watched with interest the city grow to its present population. Her husband was awarded the first contract for the collection of garbage, when the village of Mount Vernon was made into a city. Mrs. Hocking has traveled extensively through the United States, and now enjoys little visits among her children and grandchildren, always making the journeys along. She is interested in music and literature and is a strong advocate of total abstinence, having now in her possession several unpublished manuscripts upon the temperance question of today. Newspaper Obituary - Friday, January 9, 1920 Daily Argus - Mrs. Elizabeth Hocking, age 88 years, for the last 40 years a resident of this city and widow of John Hocking, at one time a city contractor, died yesterday at the home of her son, Edward Hocking, 249 North Railroad avenue, from the infirmities of advanced age.
