- Newspaper Article - Thursday, March 4, 1875 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - A most unusual occurrence was noted on Thursday. While the friends of the late Mrs. Loren Champney were going to the Pulaski Cemetery to deposit the remains of the deceased, the roads, rendered very soft by the heavy thaw then taking place, were found to be absolutely impassable for teams. What about halfway to the cemetery, the teams were detached and the bearers were obliged to draw the hearse from there on, and even then it was accomplished with difficulty. At the grounds the hearse was drawn over the top of the fence surrounding the enclosure and thence to the burial place. Some of the drifts over which they passed were certainly ten feet deep.
