  • Notes 
    • Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, March 27, 1879 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - McChesney - At the residence of her son, Dwight McChesney, March 20th, 1879, Mrs. Betsey McChesney, aged 88 years. The subject of the above notice was born January 4th, 1791, at Worcester, Massachusetts. Her former name was Winch. She came with her parents to Oswego County in 1800, and four years later removed to what is now the site of Pulaski There was then but one house which they occupied. Our populous village has all grown up under her observation, and the expression "one of the oldest inhabitants" is therefore truly applicable in her case. She was married February 15th, 1819, to John McChesney, Jr. To them seven children were born, of whom only three survive her. Two of these, a son and daughter, are residents of our village; and it was at their hands, during her prolonged invalid life, that she received that tender and assiduous care which filial devotion prompted. The other, a son, is living in Dane, Wisconsin. Her husband died in 1832, thus preceding her by well-nigh half a century. They now rest side by side in our cemetery. She had long cherished a Christian faith, and in hope she awaits the resurrection of life, and participation in those joys of which to mortals "Not half has ever been told." COM.
