Samson, father of Hudson Samson, the well-known undertaker, died this morning at 12:45 o'clock, of paralysis of the heart, at the residence of his son, Darrah street, Oakland. His death was very sudden and unexpected. He was enjoying his usual health yesterday, was walking in Schenley Park and through the Phipps Conservatory, looking at the plants and flowers. He returned home, ate a hearty supper and retired to bed with no premonition of the rapidly approaching change. He awoke in the night experiencing a choking, smothering sensation and arose to get a drink of water. The difficulty he experienced in breathing attracted Mr. Hudson Samson's attention, who with other members of the family, hurried to his bedside. He was still conscious, knew them and pointing to his throat, said the trouble was all there. In a few minutes he lost consciousness, and in fifteen minutes from the first awakening, was still in death. Mr. Samson was born in Saratoga, New York, September 29, 1810.

On attaining man's estate he went to Lowville, New York, where lie married and remained for two years, after which he settled in Pulaski, New York, following his trade of painter until he retired some years ago. His wife died in 1868 and he remained in the old home until 1880. For the last three years he had been making his home with his son in this city and on Quaker Hill. Mr. Hudson Samson brought his father from Quaker Hill one year ago for the last time. While Mr. Samson attended the M. E. church, at heart he clung to the belief of his parents. He was ever entirely devoted to his home and his family. Even-tempered to a wonderful degree and the possessor of a happy, kindly disposition, he was sincerely loved by all those who were associated with him in his daily life. He leaves many warm friends in Quaker Hill and Pulaski who will sincerely regret to know that they have clasped his hand in greeting for the last time.

Harbottle, 142 Garfield avenue, Syracuse, New York early Thursday morning, January 13, 1898. Mr. Wood was the son of William and Anna Leflingwell Wood and born in the town of Ellisburg, New York, September 10, 1818, for more than 79 years ago. In his earlier years of manhood, he, with his two brothers and their father, were extensive and successful farmers for that period. On January 17, 1843, he was married to Maudane L. Jenkins and therefore only lacked a few days of celebrating the 55th anniversary of their wedded life. He went to California by the Isthmus of Panama in 1849, but the rainy season coming on and the climate not agreeing with him, he returned after a few months sojourn in the Golden State. In 1851 with his family he moved to the farm on North street just at the edge of this village. Subsequently they lived for a few years on Lake street, but since 1859 occupied his residence on Salina street. For many years he pursued the business of buying butter, cheese and eggs, being engaged thus long before the factory system came into existence. He traveled extensively through Oswego and southern Jefferson counties and it is doubtful if there was a man better known among the farmers in that territory during that time that Joseph Wood. He was noted for his fair and honest dealings with all. He truly exemplified his Christian character in his daily business life. At the age of 21 years he united with the Baptist church in Woodville and subsequently with the Baptist church of this village, of which he liberally supported and in which he actively served as a deacon for over forty years. He has been a strong Republican since that party came into existence and while he was not an aspirant for office, lie was honored by his townsmen several times and served them as supervisor, assessor and overseer of the poor. Two sons and a daughter were born to him, Mr. Gilbert E. Wood now of Oil City, Pennsylvania, Walter C. Wood of East Aurora, New York and Mrs. Mary Harbottle of Syracuse, who with his wife, also an adopted daughter, Mrs. A. M. Bin= of Aurora, Missouri, mourn the death of a kind and affectionate husband and father. Three years ago on account of failing health Mr. and Mrs. Wood went to Syracuse to reside with their daughter and during the past ten months Mr. Wood has been an almost constant sufferer. But even when in great pain he was supported by a strong Christian faith and uttered no murmur of complaint, patiently awaiting his summons to come up higher, and he at last passed peacefully to his final rest the funeral services were held from Mrs. Harbottle's residence Friday afternoon, Rev. Amos Naylor officiating, his theme being the words of Paul, "I have fought a good fight, etc." The remains were taken to Woodville, Saturday morning for interment. W.C. W. | Wood, Joseph W (I63231)

| 17229 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, January 21, 1914 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Deacon E. M. Averill - Ephriam M. Averill was born in the village of Pulaski May 28, 1825. He was a member of an unusually large family of step-brothers and sisters and one own sister, all of whom he survived. In his early youth he assisted his father in the milling business, but when seventeen exchanged land on north Jefferson street for an un-cleared farm in Richland where he has since resided. When about twenty years of age he married Miss Amanda Babcock with whom he lived for about twenty-eight years when she was called to her heavenly home. To them were born three sons and three daughters: Edward, who died a few years ago; James, of Pennsylvania, and William, who, with Mrs. Kenyon, Mrs. Sheeley and Miss Addie Averill reside at Richland. Mr. Averill was a successful farmer, transforming his land from dense woods into a highly productive property. When about thirty-four years old he united with the Baptist church of Pulaski, of which he has been a faithful member for fifty-four years. During the greater part of that time he has served the church in the faithful and respected position of deacon. Mr. Averill passed peacefully to his heavenly rest on the evening of Tuesday, January 13, and was buried from his late home on the following Friday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. E. A. Rogers, and interment was made in the family plot in Richland cemetery. In the death of Mr. Averill the community loses one of its oldest and most respected citizens; a man of Christian character, of sound and unwavering Christian faith and an example of the results of earnest and successful business enterprise. He lived as he would die and no one who knew him well will doubt that his going home was attended by a vision so often granted to those who have faithfully followed their Saviour in this life. He had fought a good fight; he had finished his course; he had kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give him at that day. | Averill, Ephraim Meacham (I19459)

Dean - Died, December 30th. in Meridian, Connecticut, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. C. E. Hewitt, Eunice C. Dean, in the 49th year of her age. The tiding of Miss Dean's sudden death, although it was the result of an acute attack of stomach trouble that had many times brought her near death's door, still comes as a great shock to her many friends in Columbus. Endowed with an indomitable energy and a lofty ambition, she was again and again debarred from the accomplishment of her cherished plans by a long and painful illness. But these hindrances never seemed to daunt her courage. Although fettered by growing weakness, she continued to make the most of every opportunity; while an ever deepening spirituality was the result of the trials so often laid upon her. She laid hold with child-like trust upon the eternal verities, within unfaltering confidence that the broken arc of life's shattered purposes would be rounded into a perfect sphere in the light of an endless day. To her death was but the entrance into that country "where the inhabitant shall no more say 'I am sick.- Miss Dean, whose home was in the city for many years, went to the East with her sister, Mrs. Martha D. Ross, about the middle of last August. Since going there she has enjoyed unusual health for her, until three days before her death. She was buried at Stonington, Connecticut, by the side of her mother. Miss Dean was a favorite niece of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert A. Woods, of this village, and spent some five years with them and had here, where she was well known, many warm personal friends. She was an accomplished musician. She spent some time at Boston Conservatory of Music and left here to accept a position as teacher of music at Fox Lake College, Wisconsin. | Eunice (I63221)
