Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 29, 1895 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - North Mexico - The sad news has reached here of the death of Mrs. M. W. Fortune. She will be better remembered here as Miss Mate B. Mowry. She has one brother, Oliver B. Mowry, residing here. We sympathize with him and her many friends in her early death, but we trust that their loss is her gain. We copy from the Malone Farmer: "In 1889 she was married to Mr. Fortune and came to live in Malone. During the six years of her residence here she has endeared herself to all who came to know her. She was quiet and retiring from disposition and from choice. Signs of the fatal disease, consumption, appeared in September, 1894. She sank away slowly and steadily until death relieved her of her sufferings. During her illness the tender ministrations of her brother were added to those of her husband and many other friends. Besides a husband she leaves a father in Vohiey, New York, a sister in Minnesota, three brothers in Oswego, Mexico and Chaumont, respectively, and one brother in Virginia. The funeral services were held at her late residence on Brewster street, Sunday at 3 p.m.
