- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, July 13, 1893 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In this village, July 8th, 1893, Phoebe Ann Clark, relict of the late Dewey C. Salisbury, aged 78 years. Mrs. Salisbury was born in White Creek, Washington county, New York, in 1815. When an infant, her parents removed to Sandy Creek, Oswego county. In 1837 she was united in marriage with Mr. Salisbury. They remained in Sandy Creek for about two years, where he was engaged in the tanning business. The tannery burning, Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury removed to Pulaski, where the husband built the tannery so long owned and controlled by him. Soon after reaching this village the house on Salina street was erected where this well-known couple lived until they departed this life for their other and eternal home. The temporary separation came at the death of the husband which occurred March 22, 1892 after about fifty-five years of wedded life. It was a severe blow to the afflicted wife and she has never fully recovered from this affliction. Some weeks since she was stricken down and for a long time her life just hovered in the balance until at last, she fell asleep, welcoming the summons to come up higher. Mrs. Salisbury was the mother of eight children, all living and all of whom but one were born in the Salisbury homestead on Salina street. The eldest is B. D. Salisbury, born in Sandy Creek, now of Pulaski. The others in order of their ages are: Smith E., William E., John E., of Chicago; Ella E. Alsever, of Syracuse; Frank L., of Chicago; Flora E. Morris, of Thousand Island Park, and Ida E. Craig, of Pulaski. The entire family except William E., were present at the funeral which was held on Monday last, her pastor, Rev. Webster, officiating. Mrs. Salisbury had been a consistent, devout member of the M. E. church since she was eighteen years of age. Hers was a long life of devotion to her family and of usefulness in the community. Her memory will long be revered in her family and by all those who knew her.
