Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, July 4, 1878 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - In Memory of Mrs. Amanda J. Macy - In the winter of 1874 the deceased made a public profession of religion and united with the M. E. Church in Pulaski. For a number of years previous she had been active in the Sabbath school as an officer and teacher, and her interest continued as long as she remained with us. Amiable in disposition, a true and constant friend, she greatly endeared herself to a large circle of friends, by whom her death is keenly felt. In May, 1876, she was happily united in marriage with Lewis J. Macy, who struggled nobly against the disease which terminated her earthly existence, and left his home desolate. Her last days were bright with Christian hope; sickness and pain were endured without a murmur, the Savior in whom she trusted was with her, a very present friend, to cheer, sustain and comfort. When asked by a friend if she had any message to leave the public and her friends, she replied, only "it is all right." All her expressions with reference to dying, were of the most cheerful character. A few hours before she died she said to her husband and friends, "Don't you see the bright light? 0! So beautiful! It seems to me you must see them!" we are cheered by the precious assurance that she has gained the realm of eternal brightness. Loving hearts gathered in the sad home on the day of her funeral, to sympathize with the stricken husband and friends. Gentle, willing hands brought tributes of beautiful flowers, in rich abundance, to deck bier and altar and church for her burial. Yet all this but partially expressed the high esteem in which she was held by those who knew her best.
