Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 24, 1905 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Paulina Brown Twitchell - Paulina Brown Twitchell was born in Pulaski, New York, living in the old homestead where she was born until 1892, when her husband, Augustus L. Twitchell, died and the old place which for over three quarters of a century had been owned and occupied by Daniel Brown and his descendants passed into other hands. Since then she has lived with her only surviving children, Mrs. Edwin A. Reeves and Mrs. Darwin B. Barrett in Cleveland, Ohio, and at the latter's home died May 10, 1905. In Cleveland as well as in Pulaski, she leaves many warm friends and will be remembered by those as a woman possessing unusual qualities. When but a girl of seventeen4 years she joined the Pulaski Methodist church, retaining her membership over half a century, and was the last of the charter members of that church. Augustus L. Twitchell joined the same church the following year and in 1852 they were united in marriage. Thus early commencing life's work together in perfect harmony of thought and purpose, and thus they lived until the union was severed by the death of the husband in 1892. Ever living by the golden rule, thinking only of the welfare and happiness of each other and their children, the perfect Christian example, never once failing, the happy love abiding home is a memory sweet valued and ever helpful to those who knew and loved them best. Over a century ago Mrs. Twitchell's grandfather, Benjamin Winch, came to Pulaski as a govermnent employee, surveying the land in this vicinity, and her grandfather Brown was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Her father, Daniel Brown, died on the old homestead. The lands he cleared with his own hands and where he, together with his wife, Sally Winch Brown, lived and raised a family of nine children. Of this family there are now living Mrs. Amorette Champney, of Greig, New York; Mrs. Ann Eliza May, of Pulaski; and Mr. Gustavus Brown, of Traverse City, Michigan, besides over thirty grandchildren. Mrs. Twitchell's only son, Augustus Brown Twitchell, died just six months before his mother. The shock was too much and she slowly grew weaker until when attacked with pneumonia she had but little strength to resist the disease, living but four days.
