Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, October 1, 1885 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - South Richland - After long suffering, old Mrs. Rockfellow has gone home to meet the loved ones gone before. She died on Monday morning. We are not surprised to hear that Mrs. Rockfellow is dead, as she has been ill for some time.
Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, October 15, 1885 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - South Richland - The funeral of Mrs. Rockfellow was held at the home of her son, Andrus Rockfellow, September 29. Mrs. Rockfellow was 73 years old. Few live to see so many years. Three months ago Mr. William Rockfellow, her husband, died. Together they had lived for many years, sharing each other’s joys and sorrows, trials and disappointments. A son and daughter were first called, now the father and mother. There remain of the family two daughters and one son. In the month of May this aged couple desired to be moved from their home in Holmesville to the home of this son, to where they need not have any cares. The father lived but four weeks, but they were full of pain and suffering, yet ease from care. Three months elapse and the mother sleeps the sleep that knows no awakening. Kind hands and loving hearts anticipated her every wish, but they could not hold her back from the death angel when he called for her. Long, watchful nights and days were they, and full of care for her by Mr. and Mrs. Rockfellow. Such deeds of kindness and mercy will not go unrewarded by him who notices the fall of the sparrow.
