Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, January 22, 1902 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Fernwood - Died at her home on the Salt Road, in the Hicks district, near Fernwood, Mrs. C. H. Hicks, aged 62 years. As fades a summer cloud away, As sinks a gale whose storms are o'er. As gently shuts the eye of day, As dies a wave along the shore. She suffered a protracted illness of eight months, from which at first it was hoped she might recover. But as time went on and every effort of friends and physicians failed to give only temporary relief, all hope was given up and she saw in the future the fulfillment of the promises of the Savior who was very near to her in her suffering. Patient, uncomplaining, loving and prayerful through all those long, weary days and nights when it seemed to those who were near that the pain which racked the poor emaciated body must cause her to relapse into unconsciousness, her lips would move in prayer to Him who had promised to be with her when the deep waters encompassed her, and though she was really passing through the dark valley, there was no shadow of evil. No fear was in her heart. She was anxiously waiting for her release from the trials and pain of the earthly life to the rest, peace and joy of her heavenly home. On Sunday morning, January 12, she fell sweetly asleep in Jesus. Kind friends, a devoted husband and loving children did all in their power for her comfort. One son, J. M. Hicks, three daughters, Mrs. J. L. Hicks, of Rome, Mrs. J. J. Dillenbeck, Pulaski, Mrs. W. H. Tifft, of Lacona, and a husband, who is broken and crushed by this heavy sorrow, and are lett to mourn the loss of mother and wife. Yet they do not mourn as those without hope, for they can look forward to a blessed reunion where all tears shall be wiped away. Mrs. Hicks is also survived by one brother, M. Barnard, of Fernwood, and one sister, Mrs. W. Pride, of Utica, who keenly feel the loss of a true and loving sister. The funeral was held from her late home on the afternoon of the 14th, Rev. William Hall, of Dugway, officiating, speaking words of heavenly comfort. A quartet, composed of Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Perry, Mrs. F. A. Willis and Mr. C. A. Nonis, softly sang "Nearer My God to Thee," and by request, "It Is Well with My Soul." The bearers were the son and sons-in-law, Messrs. J. M. Hicks, J. L. Flicks, J. J. Dillenbeck and W. II. Tifft. The grange, of which the deceased has been a member for twenty-seven years attended in a body. The services were in charge of E. B. Walker of Pulaski. A beautiful pillow of flowers bearing the word "mother," rested on the casket, also a wreath of evergreen was placed there by the grange while viewing the remains. Interment took place at Union Square, by the side of an infant child. Friends were present from Rome, Lee, Williamstown, Lacona, Orwell and Pulaski. We as a family, wish to thank those who so kindly assisted and remembered us in various ways during the illness and death of our wife, mother and sister. May the same God who upheld her in her trying ordeal be your God and guide.
