      Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 28, 1894 Mexico Independent - Mexico, New York - George Marsden, familiarly known as Uncle George, passed peacefully into rest, Sunday evening, March 18th, at the advanced age of 92. But a short time ago he visited the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elijah Pettingill, when he took cold and a few short days ended his earthly struggles. He was a man esteemed by all who knew him, and was remarkably well preserved both physically and mentally. He was attended during his last sickness by his four daughters, Mrs. Charles Knight of Arthur, Mrs. Elijah Pettingill, Mrs. Charles Wilcox and Mrs. William Dillenbeck of Mexico. Mr. Marsden was born April 20, 1802, at Rotterdam, now called Constantia. He moved to Richland in 1809, was married June 16, 1824, to Miss Eliza Ann Page of Herkimer by J. P. Bostwick of Mexico. In May, 1833, he bought 424 acres of land in a body, then covered by the vast forest trees, which he, in his sturdy manhood and with his habits of industry of perseverance, soon brought to the highest state of cultivation and where he resided until his death. Eleven children were born to them. Three sons survive him, Welcome of Caughdenoy, Harrison and Henry of this place, and four daughters, as before mentioned. His children are now occupying homes purchased and improved by their father. The funeral was attended at the house on the 20th inst., at 12, elder Russell officiating, interment at Sand Hill by the side of the faithful wife and mother passed on before.
