- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, March 31, 1892 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Perry Bartlett - Perry Bartlett was born in the town of Lee, Oneida county, in June, 1825, and died in Lacona, March 27, 1892. He was the only son of the late Emory and Urania Bartlett. He had five sisters, four of whom are still living: Mrs. Hulda Runyan, Mrs. Mary Blodgett and Mrs. Elizabeth Richardson of Sandy Creek, and Mrs. Frances M. Hudson of Nebraska, and Mrs. Jane Lester, deceased, of Boylston. At the age of eleven years he moved with his parents into Oswego county, where he has since resided until his death. He was married November 13, 1850, to Miss Elvira Gurley, who survives him. In 1875 he professed hope in Christ by being baptized into the Fellowship of the Sandy Creek Baptist church and he has been a faithful member until death removed him to the Church triumphant. He leaves for children to mourn the loss of that father to whom they were much indebted for this success in life, viz.: Orville E., proprietor of the Lake Shore summer boarding house, Mrs. Arvilla Huffstater, residing in the west part of the town, Udelle, a very promising lawyer in our village, and Harvey S., a skillful machinist. The deceased devoted his life to farming, and in this he was very successful; and by industry and economy acquired a handsome fortune invested in real estate. He was and affectionate husband, a kind father, a good citizen and an honest man. He retained his senses to the last and died triumphantly. The funeral was held at his late residence on Monday and was very largely attended. Rev. E. F. Maine, his Pastor, officiating.
