Farmer, and daughter of Warren and Sarah Burr, aged 23 years. Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 21, 1894 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Mrs. Flora R. Burt Farmer departed this life on Thursday, March 15. Taken ill some eight weeks previous, she had been a great sufferer from the first, and the case was one that excited the profoundest sympathy throughout the entire community. Mrs. Fanner was born December 20, 1870, at Waverly, Van Buren county, Michigan. When quite young, her parents removed to Sandy Creek and subsequently to Pulaski, where they have since resided. The deceased graduated from the Sandy Creek high school, in June, 1890. In July, the same year, she entered the office of the Pulaski Democrat, where she remained until very shortly before her maniage with Mr. Lawrence J. Farmer, which occurred June 7th, 1893. In the spring of 1891 the deceased united with the Congregational church in this village. She was a liberal contributor to her church and its interests, a teacher in the Sunday school, where she did most efficient service, and had twice been chosen as president of the Young People's Society of Christian Endeavor. Without exaggeration hers was the loveliest Christian character we ever knew, peace-loving, self-sacrificing, modest, retiring, yet quietly zealous in every good work appointed to her; generous, thoroughly conscientious in every act of her life, thoughtful of others, perfectly unselfish, no one could know her without loving her. She died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Burt, having gone there at once upon being taken ill, where she had every care that loving hands could devise or suggest. The funeral was largely attended. It was held at the house where she died and was conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. S. Emmons. The singing was beautifully rendered by Miss Lizzie Fuller and Mrs. Jessie Green. Members of the class in which she graduated were present as follows: Mr. Deforest Hollis accompanied by his wife, Misses Lizzie Taylor, Anna Jones, Lou Wallace and Nora Sherman, all of Sandy Creek. They brought with them a beautiful floral pillow, with "90" in the center, the year of graduation. Among the other floral offerings were a star, the gift of the members of her Sunday school class and of her young lady friends, a floral anchor from the Sunday school, and a bouquet of ferns and roses from the Christian Endeavor Society. The pall bearers were Messrs. George Box, Will Dnunmond, W. G. Scott, R. E. Trumbull, F. G. Whitney and C. L. Finster. In addition to a fond husband, thus early bereft of a loving wife long before a year of wedded happiness had been passed, there are left a heart broken mother and father, a brother, Ward, and two sisters, Misses Lizzie and Jessie Burt, who will always tenderly cherish the memory of a true sister, not sainted in heaven. | Burt, Flora R.

| 17349 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 6, 1901 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Estella Walworth Maltby - Mrs. Estella Walworth Maltby was born in South Richland, now Fernwood, August 16, 1847, and lived there during her girlhood, attending the Pulaski school and afterwards teaching. June 7, 1867 she was united in marriage to Mr. Albert A. Maltby, with three daughters, Mrs. Richard Hankin, of New York Mrs. Thomas R. Burton, of Batavia, Illinois, and Julia R. Maltby, of Pulaski, survive her. In early life she was a member of the Baptist church, but later united with the First Congregational church of Pulaski, of which church her husband had long been a member, giving to it through all the remaining years of her life, faithful and conscientious support. She early became identified with the temperance reform especially with that branch of it represented by the W. C. T. U. and was a constant source of strength and inspiration to all who were so fortunate as to be associated with her. Her department work was largely along "Press" lines, and the amount of good she accomplished in this direction alone only the final reckoning will show. As treasurer, secretary, vice president and president of the Pulaski local union she discharged her duties with such ability and devotion that her value to the organization was early recognized that she was made president of the Oswego County Union, which office she filled with exceptional success until failing health made her resignation imperative. For several years she was County Superintendent of work among the soldiers and sailors. In all these varied lines of work her singularly good judgment and find sense of the fitness of things gave her opinions weight and value with her associates and with her absolute loyalty to whatever she believed to be right made her a power for good which it is impossible to estimate. She was also a member of J. B. Butler Woman's Relief Corps, filling the office of Chaplain for two years. For the past year or more health seem to he giving away but changes would come which had in them a ray of hope. Early in the winter she went to Rome to stay with Mr. Maltby whose business is there and a few weeks ago she was taken down never to rally again, and death came Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Maltby was a most lovable woman. She possessed so many characteristics which are necessary to the useful life that she readily drew people to her and all who knew her loved and esteemed her. She was brought to the home in this village, Wednesday evening, and the funeral was held from the Congregational church, Saturday at three o'clock. The beautiful light casket was draped with pink roses and white carnations tied with pink and white ribbon. The funeral ceremony was conducted by Rev. J. B. Felt.
