It is enough. He called his wife and son and a kind neighbor, who was present, to come into the room and as they did so put his hand into his wife's hands and began to sing "At the cross." Singing the verse through, he exclaimed, "Blessed Jesus," and passed away. Mr. McNett gave his heart to God a few years ago, shortly after the conversion of his oldest son.

| 17427 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, November 8, 1848 Richland Courier - Pulaski, New York - Died - In this Village on Saturday the 4th inst., Dea. Benjamin Snow, aged 48 years. The deceased removed to this Village in 1821, while it was still in its infancy, and by his enterprise and perseverance, has added much to its present prosperous condition. His uniform and exemplary conduct has endeared him to all who knew him. He was at different periods of his life, honored with various stations of public trust con_ with the local transactions of our thriving Village; he having to the last enjoyed the most unbounded confidence of his fellow citizens. As a Christian, a Citizen, and Parent, his whole life affords the strongest evidence of irreproachable character; of a kind and generous disposition, his warm heart was at all times alive to the necessities of his fellow beings, and his sympathies were ever expressed by tangible relief The gloom and sadness that pervades our community, is a living attestation of the great appreciation placed upon his philanthropy and general usefulness. The more immediate cause that led to this sudden and unexpected calamity was the accidental falling of heavy machinery connected with a new Mill, which the deceased was engaged in erecting. It occurred on the afternoon of Wednesday last. He was sensible from the first that the injury he then received would terminate fatally, and with that calm composure of mind, for which he was eminently distinguished, resigned himself to his fate; and although harboring under intense pain, he placed his whole trust in Him who never betrayed the confidence of those who loved him. The strongest testimonials of regard and affection were manifested during his last moments by a large circle of anxious friends, from whose hearts the recollections of his many virtues can never be eradicated. May the light of his example be a living monitor to the surviving, and be reduced to practical good. | Snow, Benjamin (I21038)

| 17436 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 12, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Death of a Centenarian - Mrs. Diana Bentley Passes Away in the Town of Sandy Creek - The oldest resident of the town of Sandy Creek, Mrs. Diana Bentley, passed to her rest last Sunday morning, having almost spanned a century of life. She was born on the 9th of November, 1798, and so would have shortly celebrated the centennial anniversary of her birth. The large number who were present at her funeral on Monday, attest to the wide circle of her friendships. With her husband, Stephen Bentley, who died in 1877, at the age of seventy-seven years, she came to this town from Saratoga County on the second of March, 1822, and settled in a partially finished log house on the farm now owned by Mrs. Noyes, of Pulaski, nearly opposite the home of Daniel Severance, on the bank of Blind Creek. Here they resided for nearly fifty years, rearing a family of four sons and one daughter, of whom one son alone survives, J. H. Bentley, of this village, with whom the mother resided. Their rude hut when they fust came to this town was only partially roofed, and without a floor other than the earth. They toiled here together, enduring hardships and clearing up the land, making a home for the family. Thus one by one the links that connect the early scenes in the history of the town with the present have been severed, until few now remain to remind the present of the past. Her pastor, Rev. C. L. Peck, of the M. E. church, of which she had been a member for the past half-century, officiated, and her remains were borne from her late home and laid at rest in the family plot in Woodlawn cemetery. -Sandy Creek News. | Emighy, Diana (I52546)

| 17437 | Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 16, 1895 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Local Notes - We were much grieved this morning to learn of the death of Mrs. James Farmer, who died during the night. Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 23, 1895 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Mrs. James S. Farmer - Mary Jane Jones-Farmer was born April 4, 1830, in the log house owned by her father, neat the site of the brick house now occupied by C. H. Jones. Her parents were Pliny H. and Hannah Jones. Their children were Milton A. Jones, Mrs. Fanner, Lawrence N. (deceased), Elbridge W., Charles H., Olive L., wife of George W. Dodge, and Sarah (deceased.) She was united in maniage to James S. Farmer January 24, 1850 and began keeping house on the premises occupied by them at the time of her death. There have been born to them nine children: Charles F., Mattie J., Abbie J., Kate J., now Mrs. Thomas Laing, Lawrence J., Madge H., Maude H., now Mrs. Frank Austin, Hany and Jessica F. All of these survive except Abbie and Harry who died in infancy. In 1865, Mrs. Fanner united with the M. E. church, of Pulaski, and was a regular attendant until increased family duties kept her at home. Like a great many others, Mrs. Fanner was best understood by her own people. It is their testimony that no person ever lived who was more devoted to her family and no one ever had a stronger hold on the affection of her children. Her last words of advice, "Be good to each other," show better than anything else her feelings for their future. The malady that finally overcame her was the result of the general breaking up of a tired out organization. Last spring she, with difficulty, recovered from a sickness of several months, only to be stricken again this autumn. Two weeks ago last Saturday she went to spend the Sabbath with her daughter in Pulaski and there she was taken sick. It was thought best to move her and last Sunday she was taken home. Kind and loving hands bore her to and from the conveyance on a cot bed and she stood the journey with no apparent injury. Dissolution had already set in but she lingered, conscious ahnost to the last, till ten minutes past eight; when surrounded by those who loved her and who could hardly bear to part with her, she peacefully passed away. The funeral was held at her late residence Thursday at 2 p.m., Rev. Mr. Webster officiating. The bearers were her three brothers and brothers-in-law. Interment took place in the family lot at Pulaski cemetery. Thus has passed from earth one of the good souls to mingle forever with the Creator. | Jones, Mary Jane (I62936)
