- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, February 15, 1899 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Miss Henrietta Ingersoll was born in Oswego county in 1831. She was married to A. H. Meacham in December, 1850. After living for a time in Kentucky they returned to their old home in Oswego county, New York, where they lived until 18_when they moved to DuPage county, Illinois. In 1866 they came to Belmond. She was mother of eleven children, seven of whom are still living: Mary Alice Edwards, Frederick T., Newton I., Rosabell Jenson, Frank S., George W., and Clara May Jenson. The circle is now broken. For several years her health is not been good. The immediate cause of her death, however, was a severe attack of La Grippe followed by pneumonia. She passed away Wednesday morning, January 25. The funeral took place from the residence at two o'clock Friday. Everyone who knew her claimed her as a friend, and many, whose bedside she had visited in time of sickness, will feel her loss. She was ever ready at the call of distress and her sympathetic heart found ways to comfort those who mourned. Her name may not be enrolled with those who are accounted great in the eyes of the world, but she will live in the influence she has exerted over those nearest and dearest, and her memory will be indelibly engraved on the hearts of her friends by her kindly acts and words.
