| 17352 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 7, 1894 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Hon. S. C. Huntington, One of Pulaski's Most Prominent Citizens Has Passed Away - Our village has met with an irreparable loss in the death of Hon. Sylvanus O. Huntington, who died Friday afternoon, March 2d, 1894, at his residence in Pulaski, at the age of 73 years. He was born at West Charleston, Vermont, the son of Joseph and Hannah Huntington, the parents of seven children, of whom only one now survives, Carlos W. Huntington, of Richland Centre, Wisconsin. He prepared for college at Brownington Academy, Vermont. He spent his freshman year at Dartmouth college, New Hampshire, and his sophomore year at Oberlin college, where he became acquainted with his first wife, Miss Hannah M. Warner; a resident of Sandy Creek, New York. He spent his junior and senior years at Dartmouth college, New Hampshire, where he graduated in the year 1845, and married Miss Warner, a sister of the Hon. Andrew S. Warner, on February 12, 1846, at Sandy Creek, Oswego county. Not long after his graduation he entered as a law student the office of Hon. Andrew Z. McCarty, where he pursued his studies preliminary to admission to the bar, a part of the time, and perhaps all of it, in the law firm which was composed of three members, Andrew Z. McCarty, John B. Watson and Daniel McCarty, all of whom are now deceased. Before his admission to the bar he spent some time as a private tutor at the Hermitage, in Tennessee, near Nashville, of Andrew Jackson Donaldson, an adopted son of Gen. Jackson. About the time, or a short time before his admission, the practice of law in the state of New York was changed under the constitution adopted in 1846, so that the matter of examination became a matter of substance as to qualification rather than a question of time spent in preparation. He was admitted to practice at about the year 1847. He opened an office at Belleville, Jefferson County, soon after, and practiced there a year or two. His principal competitor was E. Hawen, Esq. After practicing there a year or two he removed to Pulaski and opened an office in 1849, where he remained in practice till his decease. His remarkable success in his profession may to a great extent be attributed to his, industry and regularity. After he commenced his legal studies he had no teacher to watch him and see that he spent the requisite time in study. He had another student with whom he studied the same books and at the same time, and recited with him regularly, exhibiting the regularity so characteristic of himself. He never had a law partner until his partnership with his son in 1882, which remained till his death. He was elected county judge of Oswego County and served one term, commencing January 1, 1856, and ending January 1, 1860. He was elected district attorney for Oswego county, in November, 1865, but resigned soon after, and it is believed has never since that time held any political office. But a whole community regrets and is sensible of his loss. He died leaving two children surviving, a daughter, Miss Metelill Huntington, and his son, S. C. Huntington, Jr. His life and successful career presents to the student a remarkable example to follow, which is almost sure to meet with ultimate success, He was a man of remarkable physical as well as intellectual powers. But the great secret of his success was his remarkable industry, self-reliance and regularity, and constant attention to the duties of his profession. No client was refused for his poverty, nor was he ever charged with yielding to an adversary on account of his wealth. His first wife died May 23d, 1888. His second wife, relict of Hon. James W. Fenton, he married December 24, 1890, who survives him. The funeral was held at his late residence on Salina street, Monday afternoon at one o'clock. The pall bearers were Hon. J. C. Churchill, ex-supreme court justice, Oswego; U. S. district attorney W. A. Poucner, Oswego; Col. Ward G. Robinson, Oswego; Hon. J. B. Higgins, Esq., Oswego; G. G. French, Esq., Mexico; D. A. King, Esq., Pulaski. Other Oswego county attorneys present were: Judge Stowell, Oswego; ex-surrogate H. L. Howe, Oswego; D. P. Lester, Esq., Oswego; F. Spencer, Fulton; Hon. A, Wart, Sandy Creek; Hon. T. W. Skinner, Mexico; Hon. N. B. Smith, Pulaski. Relatives from out of town were in attendance as follows Mrs. J. T. Hoyt and Miss Grace Fenton, of New York; Mrs. A. S.

| 17356 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 9, 1904 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Altmar - Eliza Pierce Hinman - Death has again entered our village and taken from our midst one of the best known and most loved inhabitants, in the person of Mrs. Abner Hinman, whose death occurred, Saturday morning at six o'clock, after weeks of suffering with pneumonia and the last agonies accompanying a cancer in the breast. Her husband and daughter, Julia, and her friends did all that human power could do for her comfort, but her work was done; her hour had come and she answered the summons to come up higher. Eliza Pierce was born in Lorraine, Jefferson county, May, 1830. She came to this village when a young girl and has since resided here. She was the youngest of a family of nine children, all of whom have gone except Mrs. Palmer, of Scranton, Pennsylvania. Thirty-five years ago she married Abner Hinman, who with the daughter, Julia, survive her. Mrs. Hinman early united with the Congregational church and has always lived all earnest Christian life. She was many years a teacher in the Sunday school being especially fitted for that sacred work. She was one of the first to see the need of help in the sick room, hence her ministrations among her friends won her the title of a "Mary," for "She did what she could" always. She loved to serve her friends, and she was endowed with that peculiar faculty which enabled her to do much in the work of helping others. She has won a rich reward and we are sure she has already received it. Her funeral was held yesterday afternoon at half-past two, and according to her dying request, Mr. B.G. Seamans, of Pulaski, who has had charge of the Congregational church here the past year and a half, read the burial services and delivered a funeral address, taking for his theme, "She Hath Done What She Could," in them finding words appropriate to speak over the casket of one whose life had been so complete in serving as she thought her Savior would be pleased to honor. Miss Lillian Longstreet of Mexico and Mrs. D. A. Fradenburg sang two selections. Friends were present from Oswego, Sandy Creek and Mexico. A large number of floral tributes were in the evidence. | Pierce, Eliza (I50839)

| 17357 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 11, 1910 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Nancy Alice Ingersoll Gore - Nancy Alice Ingersoll, daughter of the late Archibald Ingersoll, was born October 14, 1873, in Township of Richland, near Pulaski, Oswego county, New York. She was educated in the Pulaski public school and resided in Oswego county until twenty-one years of age, after which she went to Worcester, Massachusetts. It was during her residence in that city she was married to Edward S. Gore, July 11th, 1901. She came to Denver, Colorado, in June 1904, where she resided until her death. On April 9th she became ill. Her condition was, however, not considered serious until two days before her death, when it developed into acute pneumonia, even then, no fears were entertained for her recovery, until an hour before her death, when she lapsed into unconsciousness from which she never rallied, and past peacefully away at ten minutes past nine in the evening, April 25th, 1910. She remained throughout her last conscious moments firm in her belief and faith in the love and saving grace of God and Christ Jesus. She leaves besides her husband, her daughter Catherine, three years of age, her mother, three brothers, Edson, of Lacona, New York; John, of Mobile, Alabama; Warren, of Boulder, Colorado; and four sisters, Mrs. Katie Cummins, of Richland, New York; Mrs. Mary Woodard, of Sandy Creek, New York; Mrs. Nellie Finke, of Genoa, Illinois; and Mrs. Ida Tullar, of Denver, Colorado. Mrs. Gore’s death is especially sad to her family as it is only four months since the death of her eldest sister, Mrs. Lottie J. Bachman, of Three Oaks, Michigan. Domestic in her tastes, her home was the sphere of her activities, and her life there was most exemplary, no sacrifice seeming too great in her devotion as a wife and mother. Her living disposition won her many warm friends, both in Massachusetts and New York, and had made for her numerous friends in Denver, as was attested by the beautiful flowers at her burial service which was simple but impressive. She was laid to rest in the beautiful Crown Hill Burial Park, four and one half miles west of Denver, in the shadow of Rocky Mountains, where the rays of the setting sun tints their crowns of eternal snow with gold, symbolical of the glory which surrounds her spirit. | Ingersoll, Nancy Alice (I69477)

On Sunday she attended church, and people noticed her saddened spirits and her tired appearance. On Monday she was unable to go to her school, and day by day she grew worse until. on the 25th, she heard the voice of her Savior, whom she loved, saying "Come ye blessed."

E. Church, Y. P. S. C. E. and Sunday school, and the life and sunshine of her home. But her life work is ended. Books are put away, the organ is closed. and the places at the table and at home are vacant. The hearts of father, mother and brother, Eddie, are left crushed and bleeding over this terrible affliction; but they do not grope their way in darkness, for they have heard the voice of their God, "I love thee, pass under the rod." and He will strengthen the chain He has broken in twain, and will fasten it firm to the skies.

| 17393 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 8, 1901 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Willis Carter Peck - Seldom is a community more shocked than was this community, last Friday evening, at half-past seven, when the news went out from his home that Willis Peck had died suddenly while sitting in a chair. Mr. Peck was at his office until after twelve that day but did not come down in the afternoon as he had a feeling of indigestion. He used some home treatments until about four o'clock when a physician was called and prescribed. He had been lying down a part of the time and had been up about a half an hour, talking with his family, when Mrs. Peck stepped from the room and was absent not more than a minute when she returned to find her husband gasping and his face evincing the awful truth that death had come. Medical examination was made in a few minutes but all signs of life had departed. For a few days Mr. Peck complained of indigestion, otherwise he was in unusually good health. The demonstrations of regret and sorrow so empathetically expressed on all hands, is evidence of high esteem and great worth in the community of the deceased. In business he was worthy of the high place he held, in the church and society he held the position in which only the true and faithful attain and in the home his position was one which can be made only by a perfect Christian husband and parent. The home, the church and the community have been sadly bereft, for a good man has gone to his reward. Willis Carter Peck was born in the house first south of the one in which he died, August 14, 1849 and had always resided in this village, most of the time in the last house he occupied in where he died. He was educated in this village and early in life worked at carriage trimming. He was married September 10, 1873, to Miss Eva Champlin, who died December 3, 1895, leaving one daughter; Helen. He was married to Miss Minnie J. Seamans, September 9, 1898. The wife and daughter and fourteen-months-old son, Willis Seamans, survive him, also two sisters, Mrs. F. J. Hollis and Mrs. K. C. Printup, and a brother; Florance, all living in the west. Mr. Peck has been several years at the head of one of the largest insurance agencies in this section. He was one of the first to introduce cement walks in this village. He was serving his second term as collector for the board of water commissioners. Carefulness and painstaking in all that came to him to do, made him valuable in business and municipal circles. He was deeply interested in the cause of Christianity and a faithful member of the Baptist church which organization he has served for some time as deacon and he was also a member of and teacher in the Sunday school, plus, in so many ways did he touch the affairs of the community that his sudden departure has greatly disconcerted many interests of our village. The funeral was held from the home in Jefferson avenue, at three o'clock, Monday, and was attended by a large circle of relatives and friends. The services were conducted by Rev. J. Foster Wilcox, Mr. Peck's pastor, assisted by Rev. J. B. Felt, of the Congregational church, Mrs. Peck's pastor. The ceremony was very impressive and the words spoken were prompted by an acquaintance with the goodness and words of the man over whose casket they were uttered. The singing consisted of two solos, "Nearer My God to Thee," by Miss Grace Henderson, and "Saved by Grace," by Mr. Will Greene. A most abundant display of floral tributes placed the casket in a beautiful floral bank and further emphasized the love of a great circle of friends. Flowers were brought by many friends of the deceased he and his family. Friends from out of town in attendance were Prof Allen Peck, a cousin, Mr. H. H. Smith, special for the Hartford Insurance Company, and Mr. Henry Morgan, special for the Home Insurance Company, all of Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. A. F. West, Camden; Mrs. Doane and Mr. Streeter, Fulton; Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Monroe, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. West and Mrs. Juliette Ainsworth, Sandy Creek; Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Peck, Mrs. Ballard, Mrs. H. C.
