| 16254 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, August 2, 1883 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York -and Mrs. Clarissa A. Gray, aged 63 years, wife of William H. Gray, one of the oldest and most esteemed citizens of Pulaski, and daughter of Henry Averill, formally a deacon of the Baptist Church in this village, died at her residence on Lake street, after a long and painful illness, on Friday evening, July 27. Mrs. Gray was an invalid, confined, for the most part to her room for thirty years, and the great fire, which swept away the home and business of her husband, followed about six months after the death of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Crippen, was a shock to her nervous system which it was not expected by those who knew her best she could long survive. She was a patient sufferer, a faithful wife, and affectionate mother, and a kindhearted friend. Many will miss her who loved to visit her in her chamber of sickness, for she always welcomed them, and was naturally generous, sympathizing, and constant is the soun. She's gone from our sight. We shall see her no more; no more forever on her bed of weariness and pain; and this is the consolation of all who loved her, that she is gone to her Father, the Everlasting Father of us all, who reigns supreme over all worlds, the God of Love. Her funeral, on Sunday last, was attended by a large number of the most respectable citizens of Pulaski, when the beautiful and impressive service of the Episcopal Church was performed by Rev. Robert Paul at the house and the grave. Requiescat in pace. To each lonely heart, what a comfort it is this, when dear ones are gone forever; to know that unseen, there are worlds of bliss, where tears of sorrow flow, never. Where smitten hearts are forever unknown, where "mansions" of Love are glorious; reflecting the light of Immanuel's throne, and Saints are forever victorious! Such joy does the Gospel of Jesus give, to the lonely and broken hearted, sure and certain hope that the good show live forever with their dear departed! | Averill, Clarissa A. (I20233)

| 16257 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, August 20, 1874 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Sudden Deaths From Railroad Accidents - One The Result of Playful Carelessness, Another From Too Much Whisky - The excitement caused by the above narrated accident and death had scarcely ceased being the subject of general conversation before our community were again shocked by learning of another railroad accident. It seems that a young man named Frank Peck had been about the village during the day considerably intoxicated. Leaving for his home in the vicinity of Richland Station, in the early evening, he proceeded safely until he reached a crossing of the O. & R. Railroad, and then resolved to return to Pulaski. In company with another young man he started out to carry this resolution into effect. Hearing an approaching train his companion left the track, warning Peck to do so likewise, which he promised to do. With a singular fatality he kept in front of the approaching engine until the train was almost upon him, when he jumped to clear himself and while actually in the air, the rushing iron horse struck him. He was thrown some eighteen feet, and taken up insensible. On being carried to the depot in this village he rallied a little and remarked that he "would rather have given $500, than to have had this occurred." Soon he was again unconscious from which state he never recovered. His injuries were internal. The deceased had a wife and child and was 22 years of age. This family have been very unfortunate in their dealings with the railroad. A brother, Ira, has on two occasions been severely injured on the railroad, while another brother, Allen, has lost an arm by being run over while an employee of the O. & R. Railroad. The verdict at the inquest was as follows: The said Frank Peck came to his death at about five o'clock and thirty minutes, a.m., on August 16th, 1874, while walking on the track of the R. & O. Railroad, by being struck by the engine of the regular train, moving at the rate of 20 or 25 miles an hour at about 8 o'clock p.m., August 15th, 1874, going towards Oswego, at about four or more rods west of the place called May's Crossing, the said Peck being partially intoxicated at the time, and that we exonerate the said Railroad Company or its employees from all blame whatsoever.

| 16275 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, August 29, 1878 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - "July 23d, Richard Carr, aged 85 years." The Democrat of a recent date contained that simple announcement. There are circumstances, however, which would seem to call for a more extended notice of Mr. Carr's death. He was born in Vermont in 1793, and moved into this town in 1810. That early date would make him one of the pioneer settlers of this section of the country, and it also brought him into that local excitement of 1812 of which this county, from its position, had so large a share. In 1828 he married Laura Anderson. Of their four children, two, Jerome Carr and Mrs. Tryon survive them. March 15, 1840, Mr. and Mrs. Carr united with the Baptist Church in this village by baptism. In its fellowship they remained until they died. By a singular coincidence the 10th anniversary of her death was the day on which his funeral occurred. According to the testimony of others he had been waiting his summons, "having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ, which is far better." | Carr, Richard (I45063)

Early in the spring of 1860, he with his family moved to Iowa, where upon the broad prairie, they began the toils of a new life. In June he became aroused to a consciousness of his situation, "without God, and without hope in the world," consequently he gave his heart to the Lord, and on the first day of July, he, together with three of his sisters, was baptised, and united with the Baptist Church in VanBuren, Iowa. He gave bright evidence of having passed from death unto life. In sickness he suffered a willingness to die; and with an upward wave of the hand, he passed away, leaving a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his departure. K D.

The Indians, not only of Canada but of this country, were furnished with arms and incited to attack the week and exposed settlements along the shores of our northern lakes and the St Lawrence River. This settlement was so exposed that a nightly watch was kept to warn them of the approach of the Indians, the sentinel writing back and forth every hour and at the door of each cabin crying out, "all is well." Of those times of anxiety and danger the deceased could never speak, even in her old age, without tears, so full of terror and sorrow was ever the remembrance. An uncle, residing in Camden, hearing of their orphaned condition and perils went out in the only mode of travel possible in those days with horses and wagons, gathered up the desolate family of four friends and carried them back to his own home. Shortly after they left Niagara the Indians invaded this settlement, sacked and burned the houses and murdered some of the inhabitants. In Camden, she was taken to the home of Deacon Upson and by him sheltered and nursed and at his home United in matrimony January 27th, 1817, to Silas Lyman, and now surviving husband, they having lived together for more than 66 years. Of this foster-father, the deceased never spoke but with the deepest gratitude and affection. Her husband was then living in Lorraine, Jefferson County, and there residing at first in a log house, working and toiling day by day with a wondrous diligence and thrift spinning and weaving and making all the clothing for the household, she became the mother of 12 children, three of whom died in infancy, the remaining 9 surviving to manhood and womanhood. She united with the Congregational church in Camden, previous to her marriage, while still in her girlhood and transferred her relations to the Congregational church in Lorraine soon after her marriage. During the last years of her life she was an invalid, suffering especially from and impaired and broken nervous system, doubtless the result of excessive labors endured in her earlier life, but patient, uncomplaining, serene and cheerful to the last, she passed tranquilly and quietly to her final rest.

Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, August 9, 1883 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In Syracuse, on the 30th inst., Cora E., wife of E. E. Trumbull, passed away. Through long months of intense suffering she was hopeful that life might be hers to enjoy, cheerful as others were growing sad as they watched her. She greatly desired to live to care for her family, but looked calmly at the future when it seemed that she held life by a brittle thread. She gave her heart to God did look forward to the future blessings in Him who said "I am the Resurrection and the Life." Thus early, at the age of twenty-nine, she finished a life which had brought to her much suffering and entered, we believe, upon one where- Free from pain, from sin and sorrow, In the long, glad to-morrow. We shall see her face-to-face, Saved by God's redeeming grace. | Cronk, Cora E. (I63331)

Mrs. Bass, born December 18th, 1846, had spent her whole life in this vicinity, and is too well known to need an extended biographical notice.

Her life was emphatically "full of good work", and none sought her sympathy and aid in vain. She was a member of the Baptist Church in this village. Her illness, which lasted but four days, was contracted while ministering to those who were in trouble, and she literally fell in the discharge of a recognized duty. Her husband and her son, her mother, Mrs. George Gurley, and her brother, Adolphus Frary, in their deep affliction receive the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends who mourn only the loss than they do this sudden bereavement. The burial services and interment took place on Sunday afternoon, Rev. D. D. Owen officiating. | Frary, Frances Amelia (I80188)
