Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, September 14, 1904 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Jay Ledyard Ingersoll, son of Rev. Webster and Dora B. Ingersoll, of the Northern New York Conference, was born at Ames, Montgomery County, New York, December 12, 1877, and died at Brockton, Massachusetts, August 29, 1904. For the past year his health had not been as vigorous as usual and in June last, tuberculosis manifested itself and from that time there was a steady decline until the end came. He was a young man of more than ordinary endowment. Possessed of a quick perception and an inquiring spirit, the acquisition of knowledge was to him easy. His education was acquired in the public schools where his father was stationed as pastor. For one year he attended school in the city of Utica and several terms at Lowville and one year he was a member of the teacher's class in the Lowville Academy. After leaving the Academy he taught several terms, but found the confinement of the school room and the inclement winters too much for his strength and was induced to seek employment in the open air, but disease had laid hold upon him with so firm a grasp that he found it impossible to shake it off. At the time of his death he was pursuing a course in electrical engineering in a correspondence school and had large plans marked out for future accomplishment. As a young man his character was worthy of imitation. He gave a beautitill example of filial affection, noble purpose and virtuous living, chaste in his speech, pure in his thought, upright in his conduct, studious in his habits, his parents had good reason to expect for him a bright future. There was but one thing lacking, he was not a confessed Christian. In his last sickness he gave his heart to God and found a joyous acceptance. His grandmother, who attended him during his illness, said to him one morning, "Jay, your face is fairly radiant." "Yes I have been talking with Jesus." "Well how is it?" "It is all right" He was an only child and in him a father's hopes were centered. Broken hearts and blasted expectations are all that remain for this life, but the future is radiant with the glories of a revelation that assures us of a reunion in that land where the inhabitants should never say "I am sick," and where there shall be no more sorrow or crying. The funeral was held in the M. E. Church at Pulaski, New York, and he was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery near their village.
