Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, March 4, 1896 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Miss Maud Clara Castor whose gentle spirit took its flight from earth on February 21, 1896, was born in Orwell, June 26, 1875. During her childhood and early maidenhood, she gave daily evidence to her friends and acquaintances by her unselfish and lovable ways that she would develop into a pure, noble and substantial young woman. Her education was acquired at the Pulaski Academy, where she was a favorite with both teachers and pupils. At the age of 17 years, having passed a credible examination, she commenced teaching which she continued for about 2 years or until failing health obliged her to discontinue it. Last autumn having gained a little strength and thinking she might derive benefit from a change, she went to Manchester, New Hampshire for a visit with friends. But contrary to her hopes, she rapidly declined in health and was forced to return to her home in Pulaski. She bore the pain and discomfort of her illness in a brave and cheerful manner, and was fully prepared for an entrance into a brighter world. Some beautiful floral tokens were observed at the funeral, and many friends from Sandy Creek, Pierrepont Manor, Camden and other places were in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Castor, in this grievous loss, have the sympathy of the entire community.
