- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, July 27, 1904 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Mary Doolittle Dow died, July 19, 1904, aged seventy-seven years, ten months and six days. Mary Doolittle Dow was born in Springfield, Otsego County, New York, September 13, 1826, the earlier part of her life being spent there and at Richfield Springs. On June 9, 1864, she was married to Mr. Benjamin Dow, who survives and is confined to his bed, not being able to attend the funeral services, suffering from a shock received last May. She had been ever faithful in caring for her aged husband and at last had to lay down the burden. She was always ready and willing to do for those about her even more than her strength would permit. She and her husband had made their home with their daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin L. Zufelt for the past ten years, who have kindly cared for them in their declining years. She will be greatly missed as she was devoted to home and family, but all was done that willing hearts and hands could do. Her funeral was held last Thursday, July 21, at two o'clock, Rev. Mr. Felt, of the Congregational church, officiating, of which church the deceased was a member for a great many years. Mr. B. G. Seamans sang "Lead Kindly Light," Mrs. Seamans accompanying. The bearers were Messrs. A. Bun, C. E. Benton, H. T. Cooper and A. }linker. Many kind friends remembered her with nice floral offerings. She was laid at rest in the Pulaski cemetery.
