- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 2, 1875 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - It is with deepest regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Standish Meacham. Stricken down in the full tide of life, she leaves a young and much loved child, an only son, who is too young to realize the great loss he sustains, and an affectionate husband whose heart is well-nigh broken under the load of sorrow and anguish resting upon it. Mrs. Meacham was a general favorite with all who knew her, and she was especially beloved by the young married people of this village. to whom the Senate intelligence of her sudden demise comes with a particularly saddening effect. Her trust was firmly fixed on something brighter and better beyond and she rests, not as one without hope.

Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 9, 1875 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Casket - Meacham - In this village, November 29th, 1875, Martha W. Meacham, wife of Mr. T. S. Meacham, and daughter of Mr. C. Wesley Woods, of typhoid fever. The dark shadow of the bereavement seldom falls on a happier home, or on one of the fairer promises for the future than that of which is made desolate by this sad affliction. The deceased was born, reared, and educated in this community. She possessed rare graces of loveliness, in disposition and person, which won for her admiration and love from all of her acquaintances. At 17 years of age, she made a public consecration of herself to the service of her Lord and Redeemer, by uniting with the Congregational church in this village. That religious profession she has always honored in a sincere, devoted, and most exemplary Christian life. She was married August 29th, 1871, to a young man of this village of high business standing, and of irreproachable character, both having been long devotedly attached to each other. Their domestic happiness seemed consummated in the birth of a son about one-year-old at the time of his mother's decease. Her last sickness was attended with delirium, the closing stages of disease, with but occasional and brief lucid intervals. In one of these conscious periods, she said cheerfully and serenely to her husband, bending over her, that she was going home, and asked him to follow her. Her record of life is an affectionate daughter, a devoted wife, a loving mother and a faithful Christian.
