Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 8, 1879 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - Webb - In Pulaski, April 27th, 1879, Richard Webb, aged 56 years. Mr. Webb was born in Gloucestershire, near Monmouth, England, on 23 May, 1823. He lived there until 18 years of age, when he came to America. About 5 years later, on 5th March, 1846, he married Miss Sophia Frost. In February, 1858, during the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Crozier, he joined the M. E. church in this place, and his relation was only severed by death. When the late Civil War arose, he left the promptings of duty towards his adopted country, and in 1862 enlisted in the Union Army. His service was not prolonged, but it was sufficient to cause him to lay a great sacrifice on the altar of his country. Before that, he had experienced him exceptionally good health. But the exposure of Army life sowed in his system the seeds of disease from which he never recovered. As his family say, he never saw a well day after that His disease took on a more serious form about a year since, and during nearly the whole of that time he was confined to his bed. His sufferings were very great, but they were borne with Christian resignation and patience. At times, the rapture of his soul, as he felt himself accepted of God for Christ's sake, was intense. The evidence, which he then gave to the value and sustaining power of that _which anchored his soul to the on scene within the veil was most inspiring to every [last two lines are unreadable.] | Webb, Richard (I31042)

| 16712 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 1, 1952 Perry Harold - Perry, New York - Francis Hocking, 82, passed away in Community Hospital, Warsaw, on Sunday, April 27th. He had been a patient in the hospital one day. A resident of 10 Buffalo St., Castile for the past several years, he was born in Michigan on April 8, 1870. He was a painter by trade. He is survived by his wife, the former Kosie Dodge of Castile, a son Frank Hocking of Perry, and two grandsons, Searle and Whitney Hocking, both of Perry. Funeral services were held from the Eaton Funeral Parolor on Tuesday, April 29th at 2 o'clock. Rev. Raymond Peters of Castile officiated and interment was in Glenwood Cemetery. Newspaper Article - Saturday, March 2, 1901 New York Times - Priest Charges Bigamy - Tells A Bride Her Husband Has Three Other Wives - Frank Hocking of Mount Vernon, the Accused Man, Admits Two Marriages - Mount Vernon, N. Y. , March 1 - Frank Hocking, thirty six years old, a house painter of this city, was arrested tonight upon allegations that he has living three more wives than the law allows. The arrest was due to an investigation made by the Rev. Edwin Flynn, pastor of the Catholic Church here. Wife No. 4 was Miss Elizabeth Maycock, who was employed in the family of Judge Bennett. She is said to be possessed of a considerable bank account. She is a member of the Rev. Father Flynn’s congregation. The marriage occurred a few days ago, and was performed by the Rev. Mr. Graham, an Episcopal minister. When Father Flynn heard of the marriage he took the bride to task for disobeying the orders of the Church in being married by a minister other than one of her own faith. She explained that her husband had refused to be married by a Catholic priest, and they had compromised. Father Flynn then startled the bride by saying that he knew the reason her husband had not wanted to be married by him - that Hocking knew that the marriage would have to be announced in church and that an old woman who was a regular attendant would have made an objection. Father Flynn alleged that in 1884 Hocking was married to a Miss Archer of Mount Vernon, that four years later he was married to a Miss Tucker of Pleasantville, N.J., and that subsequently he married a cousin. Father Flynn further alleges that the first wife, who is nearly sixty years old, is still alive, and a member of his congregation. Miss Tucker is dead, according to Father Flynn, and Wife No 3, he says is in Europe. Hocking when arrested admitted his marriage to Wife No. 1 and also to No. 4, but would say nothing about the marriages which are alleged to have intervened between these two. BigotryDaily Argus - Frank Hocking Alleged Bigamist, Held - Must Face Grand Jury - Marriage Certificates and Witness Desired - The Defendant Loves Change - A minister an Important Witness - A Deaf Dialogue - Newspaper Article - Friday, March 1, 1901 Daily Argus - Mount Vernon, New York - Is Hocking A Much Married Man? - Police Think Him Bigamist - Three Women Claim Him As Husband - Frank Hocking Now in Cell Biding Time to Prove His Innocence. If the police are right Frank Hocking is a bigamist of the deepest dye, and has three wives now living; if Hocking himself is to be believed, he is a much abused man. He was arrested at 2:05 o’clock this morning at his mother’s home, 4 West Sixth street, by Officer Marz, and locked up in the station house. He was arraigned before Judge Bennett this morning on a technical charge of intoxication, and was remanded in the custody of police until Monday. It is a well-known fact however, that the real charge against Hocking is not intoxication but the much more serious charge of bigamy, thrice repeated. Hocking was arrested at the instigation of Father Flynn, of the Church of the Sacred Heart, who has been investigating his record lately. Father Flynn was seen this morning by an ARGUS reporter, but was very reticent about the matter, and said he preferred to say nothing until the case comes up in the courts. He died say, however, that he has in his possession certificates of three marriages in which Hocking was one of the contracting parties. He said, moreover, that Hocking’s lawful wife is now living on Franklin avenue, Mount Vernon; that her maiden name was Mary Archer, and that she and Hocking were married in the northern part of New York State in 1884. Of the three other women whom Hocking married one is dead, one is, or was, at Middletown, N.Y., and the third resides in Mount Vernon. Father Flynn stated that he had no proof of Hocking’s marriage to the woman in Middletown, but that of the other marriages there could be no doubt. From other sources than Father Flynn it was learned that Hocking’s last marriage was to Elizabeth Maycock. The ceremony was performed January 28, 1901, by the Rev. S. F. Graham, at the rectory of Trinity church on South Third Avenue. The girl has for many years been employed as housekeeper at the home of ex Judge Charles W. Sinnott, and bore an excellent reputation. She is a member of the Church of the Sacred Heart, while Hocking is a Protestant. Father Flynn had heard rumors that Hocking was not all straight, and warned the girl, but she let herself be persuaded by Hocking’s ardent wooing, before her pastor could make investigations. She and her supposed husband, however, have never lived together; she is still at Sinnott’s while he has been living with his mother on Sixth street. Hocking was seen by an ARGUS reporter, and denied that he was a bigamist. He said Father Flynn was trying to persecute him because he had married Miss Maycock out of the Catholic church. He said he had been married but twice. His first wife was Jennie Tucker, who he married in Pleasantville about 14 years ago. One son, Frank, was born to them, who is now 10 years old. His wife died about 9 years ago and is buried in Eastchester. He said he never married the woman on Franklin avenue who claims to be his lawful wife; she was his housekeeper after the death of his first wife. He also denies the allegation that he was married in Middletown. He says he was there about five years ago visiting relatives, and that after his departure his cousin, a girl about 19 years old, whose name he refused to give, disappeared from home and her parents thought she married him. She subsequently returned to her home, however, and shortly afterwards moved with her parents to England. Hocking says that when his case is tried he will be able to prove all his statements. He says that the woman who claims to be his lawful wife is now the wife of Andrew Quinn, of 214 Franklin avenue. Chief Foley, however, claims to have incontrovertible proof that the Franklin avenue woman is Hocking’s lawful wife and that her record is straight. The preliminary examination will be held in City Court Monday morning. | Hocking, Francis John Sr. (I34369)

| 16717 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 11, 1893 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - At her home in the town of Richland, New York, April 30, 1893, Annis P., wife of William Kiblin, aged 55 years. Sister Kiblin was the oldest daughter of Martin Mowry, deceased, of Sandy Creek Born of parents noted for honesty and untiring energy in the great struggle of life, she, too, partook largely of the same spirit At the age of 22 she was united in marriage with him upon whom she had lavished all her love and affection, and for whom her devotion never knew any abatement About thirty years since, at a point known by many as the May school house (a place of blessed memory,) the love of Christ constrained her to choose the good part that shall not be taken from her. This opened to her new born soul a new field of labor, which she entered with all her heart, working for and confessing Him who bought her with His own blood. She soon united with the M. E. church, with which she lived a most acceptable and useful member until called to join the church which is without fault before the throne. Those who have been associated with her in church work will not soon forget her undying devotion to the cause and church she loved so well. One especial feature of her devotion was that when the interest of the cause of Christ required the gathering together of its friends for consultation, or for the raising of means for support of the church, her doors were always open. As a neighbor, she was always kind and obliging. As a companion, her devotion knew no bounds. More than a year ago, sister Kiblin seemed to have a premonition of her coming end, and said to her loving and devoted companion, "I am soon to leave you. I am going away. I know that I am soon to die, but I am ready, and my only regrets are that I must leave you behind." Then she proceeded to council and advise him in regard to the future. Failing health was soon apparent, nature yielding more and more to disease until in the early morning of April 29th, when she fell asleep in Jesus. "How blessed the righteous when they die, When sinks a weary soul to rest. How mildly beams the closing eyes, How gently heaves the expiring breast " Sister Kiblin leaves a devoted husband and an adopted daughter to mourn her loss. Her funeral was held at her late home, April 20th, attended by a large gathering of interested and sympathizing neighbors and friends. Rev. A. D. Webster, of Pulaski, officiating. Text, Rev. 14:13: "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." The Pulaski M. E. choir also rendered acceptable service. | Mowry, Annis P. (I55189)

Funeral will occur from the late residence of the deceased, on Thursday at 2 o'clock p.m. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 27, 1880 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died in this village, May 11th, 1880, Sherman Clark, aged 84 years. The deceased was born October 28th, 1795, at Columbia, Windham County, Connecticut. When about 12 years of age he removed with his parents to Tolland, Connecticut, where he lived until he was about 20 years old. He then went to Guilford, in this state, where he was married, September 18th, 1817, at the age of 22, to Miss Nancy Dickerman, a daughter of John Dickerman of Bockdale, Chenango County. In 183_, he made a public profession of religion with his wife, uniting with the Congregational Church of Guilford; seven children, which then constituted his family, receiving at the same time the ordinance of baptism, for he was early taught in the land of his nativity, "good old Connecticut," to believe that the promise is to parents and their children - Acts 2:39 - and that is the real Apostolic time, the ordinance of baptism was administered to parents with their household - Acts 16:15 - passages of the New Testament to which he was accustomed frequently to refer, and which he specially taught his own120 children. He removed with his family to the town of Mexico in 1842, and subsequently came to this place, December, 1845, where he has since resided, with the exception of three years of residence in the city of Oswego. December 31st, 1873, his wife, deceased, who had been an invalid for many years, but the most patients sufferer, greatly illustrating the power and serenity of Christian faith. This loss brought a constant sense of loneliness not only, but drew his thoughts away from earthly things to more frequent meditation on the heavenly life. He began to feel more and more that only happened remained, and to look more intently forward to its coming scenes, and to feel more fully that he was but a Pilgrim and a sojourner here. His peculiar mental and moral characteristics are well known to the community in which he is so long resided. He possessed great earnestness of character, a positiveness of conviction that made him a thorough believer in God and divine truth, firm conscientiousness and inflexible tenacity for what he believed to be right, figure, and steadfastness of purpose with no compromise for the wrong. He also possessed great strength of feeling, devoted to his family and church, affectionate and all the relations of life, and sincerely desiring the good of all, often saying, "I wish evil to no one." He generated the age of eighty four, almost eighty five, with the manifestation of a vig_ and clearness of intellect, and a strength of vitality rarely seen at any period of life. Slowly and firmly, with no shrinking fear, with no doubting heart, he stepped down into the death-valley, serenely trusting and cheerfully conscious of the attending presence of his Redeemer. Hope was changed to knowledge - "I know" was his constant affirmation; "Almost home" was his joyful response to friends questioning him of his condition. Four weeks before his death, he said to his pastor, when confident expectations were entertained of his recovery, "I have been praying all winter to be delivered from the fear of death, and the Lord has answered my prayer and now I long to go." This longing to depart attended him all the remainder of his sickness, and at night he often expressed the wish, although not in during any special suffering, but the morning might find him in heaven. The radiance of his cheerful faith dissipated the dark shadows of death, and made it seem a shrinking portal. Truly, "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." | Clark, Sherman George Sr. (I19406)

Muzzy, and grandson of Rev. Lawson Muzzy, aged 5 years, 10 months and 15 days. Funeral from residence Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Friends are invited. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 25, 1882 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - In the death of little Lawsie Muzzy, noticed in the Democrat of last week, a peculiar bereavement is visited upon the Muzzy family. He was the third to bear the name of Lawson. The father, editor of the Democrat, and the grandfather, Rev. L. Muzzy, so long and worthily known as a "minister of the gospel of reconciliation." With the departure of this little son, the hope of the family name fails. He was a boy of rare promise and the center of more than ordinary hope. In the great sorrow that now envelope this home, causing the heart of a fond father almost to fail him, and that of a devoted mother sorely to bleed, the church and community most deeply sympathize. The funeral was largely attended. Pastor Townsend of the Baptist church conducting the services, in his address, reminding the sorrowing that how much so ever, and unconsciously often, the dear departed was to them as a center of interest and incentive to achievement, he in his heavenly removal was still more the center, being elevated from the earthly to the heavenly, and the incentive evermore of a nature imperishable. As the heavenly attractions multiply, so the heavenly traveler, homeward bound day by day shall joy in the prospective nearing reunion, where tears never fall, nor shadows darken. The floral display was very beautiful; stars in floral formation and stars in tender boyhood beauty. These are fitting the one to the other. Here both fade and fall, but in the paradise of our God, this blessed boy, robed in the beauty of immortal spring-time, shall live and love forever. Other flowers, a pillow, a basket and an anchor, an offering from the children of his department in the village school, they and their teacher being present, all were tenderly touching tributes of sorrowing regard. Miss DeMaine rendered with a peculiarly comforting effect, "Safe in the arms of Jesus." The sad services terminated at the grave, where the hands of a fond father, aided by other relatives lowered to the last resting place all that was once mortal of little Lawsie. The services throughout were impressive and solemn. All turned away as if conscious of a personal loss. Mr. and Mrs. Muzzy may long bear with them the assurance of fullest sympathy in this their sad bereavement, as with Christian fortitude they lean on the Ann Everlasting. Pastor. | Muzzy, Lawson J.

Bertha was born at Richland, where she has always lived with her parents, Delos and Harriet Stewart, until some weeks ago, when she went to Pulaski, where she remained with her sister, Mrs. Eugene Wyman, at whose home she departed this life on Tuesday last, of that dreadful disease, diphtheria. Mrs. Wyman was taken with the disease first, and for several days Bertha cared for her, doing all she could, until Friday, the 7th, when she was taken sick. It was not thought by her friends that she was dangerously ill until the very last. Bertha was of a very lovable disposition, and the life of all social gatherings where she was present. It can truly be said of her she had not an enemy on earth. Her untimely death, stricken down almost in perfect health, and on account of the malignant disease, buried immediately, without any of the friends seeing her, has cast a gloom over the whole community. Her friends and family have the sympathy of all in their sad pre-bereavement. | Stewart, Bertha (I67798)

| 16742 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 23, 1878 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - In Memoriam - On the death of Nellie, youngest daughter of Mr. A. and Lovina Orton, aged 7 years and 10 months.She has gone from her home, from her kindred departed; To the dust we resign her, the young and pure hearted. The form that we loved, and the hope that we cherished, Ere yet their bright morning was over have perished. No more to her friends, in this sojourn of sorrow, Shall this sweet voice of Nellie ever welcome the morrow. To us was her presence a fountain of sweetness, her mortal existence a bright dream of fleetness. But the chain that had bound her fair spirit is broken, The final farewell has been mournfully spoken. And long shall her friends for her absence be weeping, Who now in yon silent green valley lies sleeping. She is gone to her rest, to her kindred departed, To the choirs of the angels, so young and pure hearted. The Lord hath but taken the gift he hath given, Too lovely for earth, bath recalled it to heaven. And the blossom now plucked from the arbor in sadness, Shall there bloom, unfading, in beauty and gladness. Then weep, ye who loved her, now lone and forsaken, But weep not for her whom her Savior hath taken. She is gone ore the fragrance of childhood was blighted, Or the spirit's pure pathway grown dim and benighted; And soon shall ye meet her, through now doomed to sever, To greet and to dwell with your Nellie forever | Orton, Nellie (I11497)

| 16747 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 24, 1888 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - At one o'clock this Wednesday morning, May 23, 1888 of pneumonia, Hannah M., wife of Hon. S. C. Huntington, of Pulaski, aged 67 years and 8 months. Funeral services will be held in the Congregational Church on Friday, May 25th at 2 o'clock, Rev. J. Douglas, D. D., officiating. A more extended obituary notice of the deceased will be published in these columns next week. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 31, 1888 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - At one o'clock this Wednesday morning, May 23, 1888, of pneumonia, Hannah M., wife of Hon. S. C. Huntington, of Pulaski, aged 67 years and 8 months. The deceased was born September 18th, 1820, at Vernon Center, Oneida County, in this State, the second daughter of Andrew Warner and Elizabeth Clark Young (the maiden name of her mother). With her parents she came to this county in 1837, they locating their home in the town of Sandy Creek on the farm where her brother, Hon. Andrew S. Warner, recently deceased. At an early age, she displayed a special fondness and aptitude for learning and after acquiring all that was possible in the common school of her neighborhood, she availed herself of the advantages of Mexico Academy, but finding this institution inadequate to meet the fullness of her intellectual aspirations, she resolved on seeking the higher and broader culture of a full college education. At the time Oberlin College was the only school of this higher grade that welcomed the female sex to its advantages. Thither she went and after spending nearly two years in its preparatory department, entered upon the college course of four years; and with such success as to graduate among the first, in test of scholarship, in her class. Returning to her home, she married to the present Hon. S. C. Huntington, of this village, a graduate of Dartmouth College, but whose acquaintances she first made as a classmate in Oberlin College. Kindred intellectual sympathies and culture cemented the bond of wedlock which has remained complete, harmonious and unimpaired through life, sundered only by the irresistible power of death With her husband, she went to the State of Tennessee where her superior scholarly attainments were called into requisition at the Hermitage of General Jackson in teaching a family school. Her next engagement in teaching was as Preceptress of Belleville Academy in Jefferson County. Subsequently removing to this village where her husband fixed his location in his legal profession, she conducted a select school, supplying to its young people the instructions of an academy, before the institution of Pulaski Academy was established. To many it would seem a difficult task to withdraw from a career that gave free and larger exercise to her cultured intellectual facilities and quietly betake one's self to the sequestered life, the homely duties and drudgeries, as they are often called, of domestic employments. But character often finds its best development and culture in the scenes, duties, trials and responsibilities of home, especially in that of motherhood. To these duties and responsibilities she gave herself with the most faithful devotion, finding no intellectual attainment useless in the training and education of her children. No domestic life has ever been more devoted, unostentatious and faithfuL as a wife and mother. During her collegiate course at Oberlin she united with the First Congregational Church and has retained there her church relations during her entire remaining life; not unfrequently visiting the place, which next to home, seemed to have the highest in her affections and in which she seemed never to lose or abate her interest. The beautiful in nature was her delight which especially displayed itself in her knowledge and culture of flowers. Her fidelity and kindness in all the relations of life as a neighbor as well as wife and mother, the simplicity of her life, her devotion to duty in home first of all, and in the community in which she lived, while they awaken regret for her loss, make luminous and sacred her memory, which will ever be tenderly, reverently cherished, especially by the bereaved household. With no doubting heart, no uncertain vision, they view her among the sanctified above. The earthly life of discipline and culture faithfully improved, has fitted her, by Divine grace, for angelic companionship and participation in angelic service above. Thither may they who mourn her departure follow her to join that wider and more glorious service with the redeemed and purified who have made the blessed exchange of the natural body for the spiritual body, of earth for heaven. | Warner, Hanna Maria (I41084)
