- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, January 29, 1896 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Miss Eunice C. Dean - Died, December 30th. in Meridian, Connecticut, at the residence of her sister, Mrs. C. E. Hewitt, Eunice C. Dean, in the 49th year of her age. The tiding of Miss Dean's sudden death, although it was the result of an acute attack of stomach trouble that had many times brought her near death's door, still comes as a great shock to her many friends in Columbus. Endowed with an indomitable energy and a lofty ambition, she was again and again debarred from the accomplishment of her cherished plans by a long and painful illness. But these hindrances never seemed to daunt her courage. Although fettered by growing weakness, she continued to make the most of every opportunity; while an ever deepening spirituality was the result of the trials so often laid upon her. She laid hold with child-like trust upon the eternal verities, within unfaltering confidence that the broken arc of life's shattered purposes would be rounded into a perfect sphere in the light of an endless day. To her death was but the entrance into that country "where the inhabitant shall no more say 'I am sick.- Miss Dean, whose home was in the city for many years, went to the East with her sister, Mrs. Martha D. Ross, about the middle of last August. Since going there she has enjoyed unusual health for her, until three days before her death. She was buried at Stonington, Connecticut, by the side of her mother. Miss Dean was a favorite niece of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert A. Woods, of this village, and spent some five years with them and had here, where she was well known, many warm personal friends. She was an accomplished musician. She spent some time at Boston Conservatory of Music and left here to accept a position as teacher of music at Fox Lake College, Wisconsin.
