Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 17, 1894 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died, in Sandy Creek, October 5, 1894, George W. Pratt, aged 62 years. Mr. Pratt was born in the town of Richland, where his boyhood was spent. In 1849 he joined the tide of emigration, seeking the gold fields of California. Ten years later he returned to the home of his childhood and engaged in farming. Health failing, he gave up farming, and since then has resided in Pulaski, Oswego, Syracuse and Ogdensburg. During the past summer he has been visiting early scenes and friends, and on the day on which the final summons came he intended to start for Oswego to meet his son. In 1860 Mr. Pratt was united in marriage to Miss Harriet Soule, of South Richland, who departed this life November 6, 1889. In early life Mr. Pratt experienced a change of heart and united with the M. E. church, of which he was a consistent member at the time of his death. His home life was exemplary, a kind and indulgent husband and father, giving little thought to his own comfort if those he loved were happy. A kind and obliging neighbor, he had the respect of all who knew him. Two children survive, Mrs. Robert Chestnut, of Ogdensburg, and D. W. Pratt, commercial traveler of Syracuse.
