Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 22, 1905 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Mary Frances Fifield Low - Mary Frances Fifield, daughter of Francis and Mary Fifield, was born in Castleton, Vermont on March 18, 1840. She was educated in the public schools of that village but later removed with her parents to Salem, Washington County, New York, where she spent her early womanhood. In 1860, she came to Pulaski to engage in business, having previously learned the millinery trade. In 1868, she married, for her first husband, Thaddeus Woods, of this village, who died in 1869. On February 8th, 1872, she married Dr. Frank S. Low, of this village, to whom she bore one son, Dr. Charles Edwin Low, both of whom, together with two brothers, Frederick W. and Francis N. Fifield, survive her. After a long and painful illness, which she bore uncomplainingly, solicitors only for those whose tender ministrations, night and day, contributed to her comfort, she fell peacefully into the slumber that knows no earthly awakening on the morning of March 16th. Mary Frances Fifield Low was possessed of an executive ability given to but few and to those rare qualities of mind and heart that characterize true womanliness there was the added virtue pf a consistent painstaking every day devotion to home and family. Her death marks the closing of a life that has impressed the world for good a life richly embellished with all that belongs to symmetrical womanhood and those who knew her best will suffer most. The funeral services were conducted at the home Saturday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, by Rev. W. N. Hawkins. Mrs. Minnie Seamans Peck and Miss Bessie Davis rendered "Nearer My God to Thee," with Miss Mary L. Paul as accompanist. A profusion of beautiful floral tributes were placed about the casket.
