| 16161 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 11, 1867 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Suicide - Mrs. Potter, wife of Thompson Potter of Amboy, committed suicide last week by cutting her throat with a razor. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 18, 1867 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - The Amboy Tragedy - Thompson F. Potter and his wife Jane Ann, have lived in Amboy many years. They were poor, industrious, respectable people and the parents of four children. Often Mrs. P. has suffered from lameness in the limbs, but has managed to oversee her household manners properly. Thompson has a brother named Francis M., who went in the 122d Regiment to fight for the country, leaving his wife, the interests under the _eral care of Thompson. When this soldier went to the war he was the father of one child, but on his return he learned that his brother had been very intimate with Beatrice during his absence and the mysterious appearance of a baby in his family some two years ago, did not serve to remove his suspicions that something was wrong somewhere. This intimacy of Thompson and Beatrice was kept up after Frank had got back, and finally became so notorious and shameless that about two weeks since Frank told the faithless woman, whom he had married in Michigan. Five years ago, to pick up her duds and leave. With brazen indifference she proceeded to collect her close and traps, singing cheerful songs meanwhile, as if she were high-hearted innocence itself Thompson heard of the Foss, and informed his invalid wife, who had ever been through and devoted, that he could not see Beatrice go off alone. The tender hearted scoundrel then went to his brothers' house and confessed his adultery to Frank and made arrangements to accompany the festive Beatrice to parts unknown. Frank of course did not object to the project, but insisted that the mysterious two-year-old should accompany its disgusting parents. Thompson then went home and told his own wife of the proposed desertion, and advised her to break up housekeeping and put the children into respectable families, where they would be trained properly, while she should board with some of retired and quiet friend. He told her, for her consolation, that he did not blame her for what he proposed to do, that she had always been a faithful and worthy wife, above reproach and suspicion. He turned a deaf year to all her expostulations and entreaties, and with a coarse heartlessness, and brutality almost incredible asked her to assist him in putting up this clothes. And she, poor heartbroken, ignorant, spiritless woman, assisted him! And before he took his departure with a lovely Beatrice and the baby, and one hundred and fifty dollars in money, he condescended to bid his wife, Jane Arm, and affectionate farewell, and to inform her that he was going to Michigan, where she would never, never hear from him again. The worthy pair tore themselves away from the bosom of their families one pleasant day near the close of March. Jane Ann complied with the wishes of her husband and speedily found places for her four children, while she herself hired her board at Mrs. Shoen's in Amboy. Her crushed and desolate heart still clung to the worthless wretch who had so basely deserted her, and she would weep and upbraid herself and apologize for him, saying "If I hadn't been sick and lame, for the last year, Thompson wouldn't have left me." The last scene of all in this sad, eventful and sickening history we published on Saturday. The youngest child, Gertrude, came into Mrs. Shoen's to get her things and go away to her new home. The sight of this darling daughter, less than five years of age, and the thought that she must be separated from her forever; the memory of her once happy home and pleasant family now disgraced and ruined; and the dreary night of desolation and despair spreading endlessly before her, completed the overthrow of her shattered reason, and taking her false husbands razor she went into an outhouse, kneeled down, and with one stroke severing arteries and veins and windpipe, she sent her sad soul into the presence of its master. The coroner's jury decided that Thompson's desertion of his wife produced her insanity and the _suicide. If the spirits of the departed ever condescend to keep company with such despicable villains as Thompson, it is to be hoped that the ghost of his murdered wife will haunt his bedside and dog his footsteps, and turn every cup of their joy into _ _ wood. -Syracuse Journal. | Jones, Jane Ann (I47073)

| 16164 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 12, 1883 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - During the past week, two old residents of Richland, Mr. and Mrs. William Tyler, have passed away. Mr. William Tyler died at his residence at Selkirk, April 4th. Had he loved two days longer he would have reached the eighty-seventh mile-stone, marking the years of life. His wife, Mrs. Rhuma Tyler, died April 7th, and would have been eighty-nine years old next July. Her maiden name was Morton, and both she and her husband were natives of Vermont. They were married at Paris, Oneida County, New York, sixty-five years ago the 23rd of last November. The following winter they removed to Onondaga County. They had occupied their residence in Richland over forty-one years, and were unusually esteemed by their acquaintances. By this union five children were born, of whom all are living but one, Miss Dimmis Tyler, who died in 1881. Miss Maria Tyler married Mr. Brazil Smith, of Amsterdam, Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Miss Laura Tyler became the wife of Mr. Abner Vorce of Selkirk, and has always resided near her parents. Miss Philinda Tyler married Mr. Robert Aird of Pulaski. The only son, Captain Lester M. Tyler, has long been one of the enterprising business men of Pulaski. He followed the lakes for about eighteen years and commanded the propellers Kentucky, Young America, and Ogdensburg, of the Northern Transportation Company's boats. Mr. William Tyler was a soldier in the War of 1812 and could relate many thrilling anecdotes of that sanguinary contest. The dual funeral was held from their late residence on Monday, Rev. G. P. Kenney officiating, and the bodies were interred in the Sand Hill cemetery. | Tyler, William (I51938)

| 16165 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 14, 1881 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Death of D. R. Averill - News was received in this village by cable last Thursday of the death of D. R. Averill, which occurred at Delft, Holland, on the forenoon of that day. For some time, Mr. Averill had been suffering from impaired health, partially induced by inhalation of chemicals used in his laboratory, and by the advice of several eminent physicians left last summer for a year in Europe, in the hope that the change of climate and other obtainable sanitary advantages might effect a cure. Within a very short time of his decease nothing had occurred to interfere with disbelief; indeed, there was every reason to suppose that the hopes indulged in were likely to be realized. Writing under the date of March 12 to Capt. Tyler of this village, Mr. Averill spoke hopefully of his condition and intimated his intention of returning to his home at the expiration of the year as originally planned. On the day that this letter was received at this post office, announcement arrived by cable of his death_ Mr. Averill was the inventor of the celebrated Averill chemical paint, and for years was one of the company's largest stock holders. For some little time, however, before leaving for Europe he had withdrawn from active anticipation in the company's affairs. Some years ago, Mr. Averill erected at New Centreville an elegant residence, Buena Vista, which was subsequently destroyed by fire. The family, however, had previously removed to this village, where Mrs. Averill and her children still reside. As a citizen, Mr. Averill was openhearted and benevolent, interested in whatever seem to him to pertain to the well-being of the community. Immediately upon the receipt of this sad announcement, intelligence was sent to his daughter, Miss Stella Averill, at Keble School, Syracuse, who has since returned to her home here. We understand that the remains of the deceased have been embalmed, and are now on their way to this place for internment. Below, we print Mr. Averill's letter, to which we have access through the courtesy of Capt. Tyler:I am, as you see, among the Dutch, and really Holland and its people are exceedingly interesting. As to the country of the Netherlands, it is, as its name implies, a low, flat section of the footstool, once very similar to our black ash swamps. In order to live here, the industrious Dutch dug out trenches or canals (nearly as wide as our Erie canal) all over the country. The dirt formed embankments to keep the water in, and the farming land is kept dry by thousands of huge, old-fashioned windmills which pump the water, or rather dip the water up and discharge it into the canals. The farms are equally divided into regular, long strips, the cross ditches forming fences. From these ditches the windmills pump the water and empty it into the canals, where it slowly runs toward the North Sea. All around the coast of Holland towards where the water runs, are huge dykes furnished with the immense gates. Now, when the tide is out in the sea, the gates are raised in the water runs out. When the tide changes, the gates are shut down to keep the sea water from running back into the canals. Thus the gates are open and shut twice in twenty-four hours. This has continued for hundreds of years. The land averages about eight feet lower than the water. The soil is a regular black ash muck; is cold, yet very productive of grass, oats, cabbages, potatoes, etc., but no corn, pumpkins, squashes, melons or broom corn, or any of those things which require a like warmth, but the best butter, milk, cheese, pork and beef. I ever saw. The horses and cattle here are far above the average of hours in America. I see many Belgian horses; they are about as thick as they are long. The people are just thankfully divided into classes. There are the nobility who are always among the officers of the government in all the various gradations. Then the Army and Navy officers of higher grade and the rich, who live on incomes. These two classes are quite numerous. Then come the merchants and professional men, such as doctors, lawyers, burgomasters. Then the shop-keepers, grocers, mechanics who are bosses or carrying on a business. Then come the laborers, or servants as they are called here. Then there is a distinct class called "skippers." These all belong to the canals. Many raise families, live and die in the small cabin of the canal boats, of which there are many thousands in Holland. Another distinct class are the fishermen. These people, all in their different vocations, dress differently, or dress like all others of their kind or class. The fish women can carry a "runt" of fresh fish on their heads (a runt is three bushels, nearly.) They wear a huge wide-brimmed hat from 26 to 30 inches wide, and made of a course reed or stick, that will stand the banging. These women are large and strong, and could shoulder such a man as George Woods with ease, or knock down a horse with their fist, and a kick from one of their huge wooden shoes would be simply annihilation. The better classes of the people of Holland are very proud, polite, very dressy, extremely neat, very kind, very good, very high strung and quick-tempered, strict observers of etiquette, stubborn, brave, honest, affectionate and tender-hearted; in fact, they possess all the better traits of character which make good men and women. I believe the Holland housekeeper is the best and neatest in the world. The streets in the cities of Holland each has its canal running through it, and one sees boats passing their windows at almost any moment. The canals are about 50 feet wide, and bricked up on each side. The street on each side of the canal is about 25 feet wide, and is carefully paved. One notices that once the fine mason work and paving in Holland. The streets are very smooth, and are washed, actually scrubbed clean, with brooms twice a week, and most people have the street washed in front of their homes every day. Yea, verily, Holland is neat, no nation on earth like them! I see buildings here over six hundred years old. The church, where for centuries the royal family of Holland, have been buried, stands in the next block to where I write this. * * * I would like to hear from Pulaski often. I have received a good letter from Lorenzo Ling, and one from Charles Clark, each filled with kind words and good wishes. They did me much good. I only know one person with whom I can talk. He happened to come over on the ship with me from New York. He formerly lived here, and came on to settle the family estate. His father was very rich. I think my health better than when I left home. I had the best of medical advice, which, with the mineral waters, climate and method of living, has helped me through so far. I hope to get home again within the time set when I left, one year. * * * D. R. Averill.

| 16172 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 16, 1891 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died, very suddenly, of heart failure, at Oberlin, Ohio, April 11, 1891, Rev. James Douglas, D. D., L.L.D., aged 68 years. On Wednesday last, the startling intelligence came by telegraph to the family of Rev. Dr. Douglas that he was seriously ill, and summoning them to his bedside. Mrs. Douglas and G. W. Douglas, his son, took the first train and were with the beloved husband and father to the end, which came as above announced, on Saturday last, at 11:30 a.m. The deceased was one of our most prominent, highly respected and leading citizens. His sudden and unexpected demise has come like a thunderbolt from a clear sky and has greatly saddened our entire community. James Douglas was born that Franklin, New York, May 7, 1823. He was the youngest son of Judge Amos and Miriam Wright Douglas. His college entrance course was taken at the Delaware Literary Institute, at Franklin, in this state. In 1845 he graduated from Hamilton college with the highest honors of his class, taking his Master's degree, A. M., in course. His school studies were completed at Auburn Theological Seminary in the year 1849, and he fairly won the reputation of being the finest scholarly institution ever sent out. Soon after this and the same year, he was elected Professor of the Latin and Greek languages in Genesee College. This position he resigned in 1853 and accepted a call from the first Congregational church in Rutland, Jefferson County, New York, and that same year, on September 14th, was married to Mary Jane Burt, of Ithaca, New York, who with two children, George William Douglas and Mrs. Ellen D. Huntington, all of this village, survive him. In 1864, the deceased accepted a call from the Frst Congregational church of Pulaski, and though afterwards called to this Stone Street church, of Watertown, and also to the church at Camden, he continued to act as pastor of the Pulaski church until the close of 1882, when increasing age and ill health compelled him to resign. Mr. Douglas's pastorate of eighteen years here was the most successful one, and his many kind offices both as pastor and as family counselor and friend have greatly endeared him to all our people and he will be missed as perhaps no other resident of this village could be. It was during his long pastorate in Pulaski and largely through his efforts that the present elegant and substantial church was built and paid for. Since his retirement from active pastoral work, he has continued to reside in Pulaski. During this time his services have been in active demand, not only at the bedsides of the sick and that the burial of the dead, but also at the social gatherings and at the family wedding feasts as officiating clergyman. He has always generously responded to these calls and many a time has he officiated at funerals and that cemetery services when his health was seriously jeopardized thereby. We believe that his life has been shortened by his self-forgetful and kindly offices thus frequently rendered. During the latter period of his life, Dr. Douglas has been engaged in religious and philosophical studies, and numerous articles on these and kindred subjects from his pen have appeared in Bibliotheca Sierra and the Methodist Review. During the last three years he has delivered before the students of Oberlin Theological Seminary, of Oberlin, Ohio, courses of lectures on "Comparative Religion" and "The Relation of Science and Religion." It was while at Oberlin delivering a course of lectures on "Comparative Religion" that he was attacked by bronchial pneumonia and died, after a brief illness, in the presence of his wife and son and twin brother, Dr. George Douglas, of Oxford. Two sisters also survive him, Mrs. Harriet Clark, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Mrs. Juliet Buckley, of Unadilla, New York. The remains, accompanied by the sorrowing friends, arrived in Pulaski on Tuesday morning, and the funeral services were held in the Congregational church at two o'clock, p.m., conducted by President Ballantine, D. D., of Oberlin College and Professor G. F. Wright, D. D. L. L. D., Of Oberlin Theological Seminary, assisted by Rev. A. N. Raven, pastor of the church. Rev. Curtis also made appropriate remarks. The large auditorium was filled with an audience deeply in sympathy with the family and immediate friends and relatives of the deceased. Loving hands had supplied a profusion of most beautiful flowers, tastefully arranged in appropriate designs. The selections by the choir were also specially appropriate to the solemn occasion. A noble Christian gentleman has gone out from us into the blessed rewards of heaven, but his example and teachings remain forever, and will bear glorious fruitage. At the funeral and as a part of the services, Hon. N. B. Smith, clerk of the Board of Trustees, read the following: At a meeting of the trustees of the Congregational church and society of Pulaski, held on Monday evening, April 13th, the following minute and resolutions in memory of the Rev. James Douglas were adopted and entered in the church records: The recent death of the new Rev. James Douglas, who has for so many years the much esteemed and faithful pastor of our church and society has awakened feelings of deep regret and sorrow, not only among his personal friends and members of his former congregations, but also among the citizens and people of all classes in this community. Mr. Douglas became pastor of this church in 1864 and for a period of 18 years discharged the duties of his pastorate with conspicuous ability and rare devotion to duty. Though his pastorate duties were laborious and exacting, Mr. Douglas took a deep interest in the public and social affairs and educational interests of our village. He was president of our village board of education for a number of years and was often called upon to deliver lectures and addresses on public occasions and before our schools and academy. In the performance of these duties he displayed unusual ability and conscientious fidelity. He never appeared in the pulpit or in the social meetings of the church except after diligent study and most careful and painstaking preparation and all his public addresses evinced great learning and research and a complete mastery of his subject. Since his retirement from active ministerial work he found much delight in this study and investigation of scientific and philosophic subjects, and was engaged just prior to his last illness in giving a course of lectures before the students of Oberlin Theological Seminary. To the older members of this church and those who were closely associated with him in building our present church edifice and in the work of his early ministry here the intelligence of his sudden death away from his home and family, has come with painful and peculiar sadness. Our beautiful house of worship was erected largely through his individual efforts, and in order to relieve the church from all indebtedness incurred in its erection, he freely donated his whole salary as pastor for one year. His great love for this church was manifested in so many ways and his deep interest in its temporal and spiritual welfare while our pastor, no works can fitly or fully portray. He devoted to our service and to the cause of morality, education and religious culture among our people, the best years of his mature manhood and of his ripe intellectual and Christian character, and when his voluntary resignation was tendered at the close of his active ministerial labors, it was accepted with feelings of deep regret and sorrow. But his life work among this people is over, and it only remains for us who remain to place on record some slight testimonial to show our regard for his high Christian character, his attainments as a scholar, thinker and writer and our grateful appreciation and remembrance of his long, faithful and successful service as our pastor and religious teacher. It is therefore Resolved, That we tender to the widow and children of the deceased the assurance of our sympathy and of our sorrow with them in the great affliction and loss which they have sustained, and that we will survive to treasure up and profit by the many lessons which his life of faithful service, his upright character, his liberal culture and Christian devotion to duty had so diligently taught us. Resolved, That copies of this minute and resolution be given to the widow and family of our departed friend and pastor, and to the editor of our village paper for publication. | Douglas, James (I21448)

It seems that the lad went to the barn to get his gun with the intention of shooting ducks, and it is conjectured that the hammer caught against the door and exploded the charge. The shot entered his face near the right eye, and passed out the back of his head. The remains were brought home to the residence of the father in Albion, where the funeral services were held and were subsequently interred in the Pineville Cemetery.

| 16176 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 18, 1867 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - Said the poet, Keats, "my name is writ in water." As the waters press closely behind the reed or the finger tracing or attempting to trace a record on the waves so the crowding interests of the present hour, the rushing tide of events efface the record, and the remembrance of the noble deeds and the worthy lives even of those who have laid the foundation of all our present advantage and prosperity. The fathers who were the pioneers of our now affluent civilization, who felled the forest trees where stand our dwellings, where now bloom our gardens, or roam our flocks, or rush past our steaming locomotives, fall one by one, like autumn leaves, and are followed with scarce a thought of the greatness and the value of the work they accomplished in their long lives of active and usefulness. Of the early settlers of this town, you have borne a more conspicuous and honorable part than Simeon Doane, Esq., recently deceased. Mr. Doane was born in Rupert, Vermont, August 28, 1786. He was married in November, 1814, and left Rupert in 1815 for this state. He first located in Onondaga County, where he remained but three years, and in 1818 he came to this place. He first settled upon the farm, now owned and occupied by Mr. George Toombs. About three years after he purchased a tract of land where Mr. Thomas Hall now resides, where he remained until 1853, when his son Bernice, now County Clerk and residing in the city of Oswego, took the farm, and his father removed to the village and purchased the house he occupied at the time of his death. He held the office of magistrate for five or six years; also that of poor master, of assessor and school commissioner; in every trust by his integrity, ability and fidelity securing and holding the confidence and esteem of the entire community. He was a subject of a great revival of 1840, and united. May 3, 1840, with fifty-six others, to the Congregational Church of this village. That profession he maintained and honored in a life of Christian fidelity to duty and in Christian meekness of character, which are the best evidence of a true Christian hope; and his last days were attended by that calmness and peace of mind, in the contemplation of approaching death, which the Gospel of Christ alone imparts to the believing heart. He died August 19th, 1866, after a long and lingering illness, accompanied with paralysis. His wife, Mrs. Joanna Doane, with whom he had lived fifty-two years, survived him, but a short time, she having deceased. December 22d of the same year. They had nine children, seven of whom survived them. | Doane, Simeon (I21108)

Clark, aged 30 years. Mrs. Clark was daughter of the late Charles G. Hinman, who for many years resided on North street in this village.

In August last, a son was born in this new pledge of affection served to bind the mother and father still more closely together than ever, were such a thing possible. Not many weeks since, Mrs. Clark, who was not strong, took cold and this ailment developed into a quick consumption which resulted fatally. It may be faintly imagined but not fully understood how terribly such an affliction, coming thus suddenly will crush and prostrate. May the great and merciful Ruler who knoweth all things, sustained husband and mother, and tenderly protect. the little son who cannot realize how great a misfortune is his. For a number of terms Mrs. Clark was a teacher in our graded schools, in which capacity she had rare success. As a humble servant of the Savior and a member of the Pulaski that this church, she was conscientious, self-sacrificing in every good word and work, ever redeeming the time. Her memory will long remain sweet and precious to all who knew her. | Hinman, Susan Carrie (I50776)

| 16182 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 20, 1882 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - April 17th, 1882, Silas Harmon Meacham, aged 76 years. The deceased was born September 22, 1806, in the town of Sandy Creek, as the boundary of that township is now located. At the time of the birth of the deceased, it consisted a portion of Williamstown and Oneida County. Subsequently it was a part of Richland, Oswego County, but at present as already stated, the place of his birth lies in Sandy Creek. His father, Capt. J. Meacham, moved from Pawlet, Vermont, in the spring of 1806, with his wife, their conveyance being a sled with an ox team. This section of country was then an unbroken wilderness, with neither roads nor bridges. They were obliged to find their way by marked trees and to ford rivers or raft, as best they could. His father first located on the western part of what is now known as the farm of Col. Meacham, or the farm of the Agricultural Hall. It was there that the deceased was born in the autumn after the coming of his parents, and he was one of the first and as far known, the first child born in Sandy Creek or Richland. Captain Meacham moved into the village in 1811, built a one-story frame building on the ground recently occupied by the store of Mr. C. R. Jones, which he used both for this purposes of a store and dwelling house. He also built the first frame school house on the site now occupied by Mr. Charles Cross as a land office, which was subsequently removed to the locality now occupied by the Baptist Church. He afterward built a dwelling house on the former site of the Salmon River House, where he died in 1813, from injuries incurred in the war in 1811, at Sacketts Harbor. He went as Captain of the drafted militia of Richland and Mexico to serve in that war. After the death of his father, the deceased lived with his uncle, Deacon Simon Meacham, until he was 21 years of age. He then purchased some land went of his uncle's farm, and in March 1828, went to Pawlet, Vermont, and on the 19th of that month was married to Miss Elizabeth A., daughter of Joseph and Luceba Clark, of Pawlet. He remained there until September, when he returned and occupied his farm. Here he remained for six years and then selling his farm, he made another purchase of land, the farm now owned by heirs of Samuel Ransom. Some four or five years subsequent to this he removed to the house he occupied at the time of his decease, in this village. He engaged for a time in the tin business, and afterward for some 18 years in the book store, from which he was compelled at last to retire on account of illness and old age. The deceased united with the Congregational church in this village, in 1840, on public profession, and has ever been a most exemplary and devoted member of the same. A man of incorruptible integrity and of the strictest honesty in business, public spirited as a citizen, ever seeking to establish and maintain those organizations and influences that tend to the advancement of the intellectual culture and the morality of the community. All who had known him feel that a noble example of Christian fidelity is the heritage and memory he leaves behind him. | Meacham, Silas Harmon (I20815)

| 16197 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 25, 1872 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Sandy Creek Items, April 22, 1872 - Mr. James Waite, father of Rev. H. H. Waite, pastor of the Congregational church of this place, died of paralysis on Friday night last. His funeral was attended Sabbath day, 3 p.m., at Rev. H. H. Waite's residence. Rev'ds Lamb and Golden officiating. The remains were conveyed by this morning's train to Carthage and thence to Champion for interment among his friends and early acquaintances, where he had lived the greater portion of his life, and known and revered as a consistent and devoted Christian. His last sickness continued about forty-eight hours. He was attacked while sitting at the table, and just as the family were gathered round and were looking to him to ask a blessing. They observed he did not and could not speak. Really, it would seem that the hand of affliction had been delayed heavily upon this family, for within the space of six months death has visited this house three times by the same disease and removed respectively grandfather Randall, Mrs. Waite, and grandfather Waite, the latter at the ripe age of 83 years. | Waite, James (I52885)

| 16199 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 27, 1854 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - On the 19th inst., at her residence in this village, Mrs. Sybil S., wife of Thomas C. Baker, aged 50 years. Mrs. Baker has left a circle of friends who will long mourn her loss. For many years a member of the Baptist Church in this village, she adorned the doctrine she professed and eminently illustrated the teaching of her Master, "Blessed are the pure in heart." Her loss in the family circle, of which she was the center, and in society of which she was an ornament can only be realized by those who were nurtured by her care, consoled by her counsel, cheered by her conversation, profited by her example. Her loss is the greatest to those who know her best. Her husband, her children, will seek in vain for so good a councilor so correct a guide. Her aged mother mourns the loss of a dutiful, affectionate and only child, who in the ordinary course of nature instead of the welcoming should be the welcomed to the land of rest. Though for her family time may soothe the first gushings of grief, it will only the more exhibit how great, how irreparable their loss. | Weed, Sybil Sheldon (I63412)

| 16200 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 27, 1871 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - Chester Dodge was born in Wardsboro, Vermont, April 13, 1788. In early childhood he went with his parents to Ellington, Connecticut, where they resided till 1803, when he removed with them into the Black River country, and settled in the town of Rodman, Jefferson County, New York. There he spent his early manhood with his parents, brothers and sisters, all of whom, save his youngest sister, survived. His twin brother, with whom he was so closely identified in feature and spirit, that it was difficult to distinguish them, shared with him and all the activities and privations attending the settlement of a new country, and his sudden death some twenty years ago, cast a gloom over his remaining years. In April, 1813, he married Martha Cone, of Turin, Lewis County, New York, who still survives him; and eight years since the festivities of a "Golden Wedding" was theirs. In the spring of 1825, he came with his family and aged parents into Oswego County, and located in the northern part of the town of Richland, and with the exception of two years residence in LeRay, Jefferson County, has been an inhabitant of this town; reciting some fifteen years in the central part, and later in the southern part, some ten years, but the last seven years of his life was spent at his late residence, where he bore all the infirmities of declining age with Christian patience, cheerfulness, fortitude and resignation. He was the father of nine children, all of whom profess faith in Him who is the resurrection and the life. A son and daughter preceded him to the spirit world, the youngest at the age of twenty-seven years. In youth the deceased found the consolation that the religion of Jesus of affords, and was ever after habitual and constant in his family devotions, delighting much in the study of the Scriptures, and always recommending it to those of his household, enjoying upon them the council which the book of Proverbs afford. He first united with the Congregational Church of Rodman, under the pastorate of Rev. David Spear, and ever afterward strove to be faithful to his church covenant. And by earnest perseverance in the ways of the truth, he has been enabled to escape those snares that await and beguile the unstable, and to attain to a good old age, and to depart in peace, leaving a kind remembrance in the heart of all who knew him. Memorial tribute by the children. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 20, 1871 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In Richland, Friday, April 14th, Chester Dodge, aged 83 years and 1 day.
