- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 29, 1886 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In Utica, April 20, 1886, Ezra Pride, aged 71 years, 10 months and 16 days. Another of the old landmarks is gone. Mr. Pride, in his early boyhood lived in South Richland, where L. Nicholson does now, that was his father's home. In September, 1837, at the age of 23, he married Miss Octavia Root, a lady of loveliness of character, and of superior intellect. They lived where L. Brown does now, near Holmesville on the farm that for about a half a century has been known as the Pride farm. To them were born three daughters, Mrs. J. N. Cloyes, of Utica, Mrs. J. S. Emery and Mrs. John Douglass, of Holmesville, and two sons, J. F. Pride, of Pulaski, and J. W. Pride, living in a distant part of the state. In August, 1871 the farm passed into the hands of the elder son, and Mr. and Mrs. Pride removed to Utica. In the following February, Mrs. Pride died, and her remains were brought to South Richland for interment in the family burial lot. It seems as though such as Mrs. Octavia Pride can ill be spared, but "He who sees the end from the beginning" does right. Later, Mr. Pride married a widow, of Utica, with whom he lived a few years, when she died, leaving him a widower a second time. A few years ago he married Mrs. Minerva Rockfellow, a former resident of South Richland, who still survives him. His funeral was held in Utica, and his remains were brought here and interred. His children, relatives and neighbors met at the depot and accompanied the dead to his last resting place. Mr. Pride was a useful member of society and was looked up to by his neighbors. He was for some time chorister of the Baptist church choir, and his daughter, Amelia, was organist. He has a long time been an invalid, and his death was not entirely unlooked for.
