- Newspaper Obituary- Wednesday, November 23, 1898 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - South Richland - Most sincere and widespread was the grief of this community over the sudden and yet not unexpected death of Mrs. Walter Greenwood, on Sunday morning, November 13. Bereaved of her mother at the age of two years and not many years later of her father, she was taken into the loving care of her older sister, Mrs. McFadden, who has recently been here to care for her. Her maiden name was Lizzie Henry and her girlhood was spent near Ogdensburg, where she requested to be buried. A devoted wife and a loving mother, the hearts of her husband and three children are shadowed by sorrow none can know unless they have tasted the bitter draught. By her sincerity of heart and amiability of characters she had ingratiated herself into the hearts of those who knew her best. This was clearly manifested by the large concourse of friends who assembled to pay tribute to her mortal remains on Tuesday at 11 o'clock at her home. By the white throne above she waits and beckons her loved ones to share with her the home of the blessed. The services by Rev. Mr. Tisdell were more than ordinarily impressive and many were moved to tears. But it may be wrong to complain, for now her pilgrimage is o'er. We cannot wish her back again, to bore her trials as before. Then let us not deplore a loss, alas to her, a gain most sweet. She bore most cheerfully her cross, to lay it at her Saviour's feet. Besides her husband and three children, a son and two little daughters, she leaves three brothers and two sisters whose homes are all near Ogdensburg. W. D. Ween, H. Miller, George Boyce and G. H. Barnard were the ushers.
