Notes - Newspaper Obituary - March 2, 1927 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - The funeral of Mrs. Fred McNett who died at Ideal Rest, where she had been taken for special care and treatment was held from the home in White District on Saturday, Feb. 26. Rev. H. C. Bradshaw, pastor of the M. E. church of which Mrs. McNett was a member was in charge, also she was a member of the Bible class and Aid Society of the M. E. Society, of South Richland Grange and of Pulaski Chapter O. E. S. Of all these she was faithful to all that was required but her failing health forbade for some time past attending in person any of these orders. In South Richland Grange she had at times held offices of honor and trust. She was a Christian true to the name and we feel when the summons came she had no fear for the promises of her Saviour whom she loved and served were, "When you cross the mystic river, the waters shall overflow thee." A husband, son and daughter are left to miss and mourn mother and most of all in the home, for what is home after mother is gone. Burial was in Willis Cemetery. Her memory to many will long remain with us.
