- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 22, 1881. Pulaski Democrat, Pulaski, New York - Died - Outterson - In Pulaski, on the 18th inst., of typhoid fever, Emma L. Outterson, aged 30 years, 4 months and 17 days. Mrs. Outterson was born in Orwell, and was the daughter of Charles J. and Fidelia C. Brooks. At twelve years of age came to Pulaski to obtain the benefits of the better educational advantages offered here, and remained until her marriage with John Outterson, of this village, six years later. She lived with her husband about one year, attending him through a long sickness, which finally resulted in his death. She then went to Oswego to assume the care of her invalid sister, Mrs. Bush, whom she has faithfully attended since, resigning the charge only in her death. She was an earnest, active member of the M. E. Church in Sunday school, in both of which she will be missed, particularly by the large class of children who had weekly listen to her teachings and had learned to love their gentle instructor. She was also, while in Oswego, a member of the Woman's Temperance organization, and was ever found ready to engage to the uttermost extent of her means and opportunities, and any work which could result in good to her fellow creatures. Through her long illness of five weeks, she manifested the greatest patients, and even seemed disappointed at the prospect of recovery during a temporary change for the better. She longed for rest, rest which her loving, sympathetic heart could not permit her to enjoy while sickness and suffering remained to claim her efforts. And while the many friends who mourn her loss feel deeply the affliction that rests so heavily upon them, they cannot but realized that she, the object of their love, has passed on to the home she coveted, to the land where a loan can be found "rest for the weary soul." The funeral services were held at her late residence, Rev. Mr. Kenney, assisted by Rev. H. Skeel, officiating. The text was from John 17:24.
