  • Notes 
    • Sarah W. McChesney Weed - June 27, 1786 - March 27, 1879. Daughter of John and Abigail Stevens McChesney. Wife of Eli Weed.
      Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 3, 1879 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - Weed - In this village, March 27, 1879, Mrs. Sarah Weed, aged 93 years. The deceased was born in Rupert, Vermont. She was married in the year 1809 to Mr. Eli Weed, recently deceased, and came directly to this town, first settling upon a faun located south of the place now occupied by Isaac Douglass. Educated as a tailoress, she was largely engaged in the duties of that employment, people coming even from so distant a place as Ellisburg to obtain her services for cutting and fitting garments. She was especially distinguished for her skill and industry. In early life she heard the call of her Savior, "Follow Me." It was this command that especially arrested her attention - "What is that to thee? Follow thou me." She heard it in hours of sorrow, trial, and affliction - What are all these things? What is earth, with its evanescent pleasures and sorrows, to thee? Follow thou me. She obeyed that call, and in a life of surpassing fidelity, gentleness. kindness, and uncomplaining patience and submission, she followed the meek and holy One through life, through the gates of earth up to the glories of his own dwelling place of purity, peace and love. For fifty years she has been a member of the Congregational church in this village, having united with it on a profession January, 1829, consistent, devoted, a lovely example of the patient, cheerful, winning graces of the religion she professed. In the morning after a worrisome night of suffering, she heard the same voice of love that first bid her, "Follow Me," saying, "Come up hither," and again she obeyed; and she went up "with the Angels that waited for her." Glorious exchange! The wearisome burden of earthly old age exchanged for the internal use and, immortality of heaven.
