- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 25, 1872 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Sandy Creek Items, April 22, 1872 - Mr. James Waite, father of Rev. H. H. Waite, pastor of the Congregational church of this place, died of paralysis on Friday night last. His funeral was attended Sabbath day, 3 p.m., at Rev. H. H. Waite's residence. Rev'ds Lamb and Golden officiating. The remains were conveyed by this morning's train to Carthage and thence to Champion for interment among his friends and early acquaintances, where he had lived the greater portion of his life, and known and revered as a consistent and devoted Christian. His last sickness continued about forty-eight hours. He was attacked while sitting at the table, and just as the family were gathered round and were looking to him to ask a blessing. They observed he did not and could not speak. Really, it would seem that the hand of affliction had been delayed heavily upon this family, for within the space of six months death has visited this house three times by the same disease and removed respectively grandfather Randall, Mrs. Waite, and grandfather Waite, the latter at the ripe age of 83 years.
