- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, May 14, 1913 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Fernwood - Mr. J. M. Hicks, A. E. Barnard and Mrs. Laura Barnard went to Rome to attend the funeral of Mrs. J. L. Hicks, who was sister, cousin and niece of the above named. Mrs. Hicks has many friends and relatives who for various reasons were unable to attend the funeral but would like to learn through these columns more concerning her illness and death. The second day of January she went to Rome hospital for an operation for the removal of a cancer in the stomach which when viewed by specialists was found impossible to be removed. She was a noble wife, devoted mother, a kind neighbor and a Christian, being a member of the First M. E. church, Sunday school and Epworth League. She was commander of the Ladies’ Maccabees and of the Rebekahs. That she was loved and honored in each society was shown by the many tokens on the day of her funeral. Flowers rare and beautiful, potted plants of many kinds in such profusion that the casket was completely hidden from view. Rev. George Shepherd, pastor of the First M. E. church, spoke words of comfort from this text “She hath done what she could.” Mrs. McAdams sang “Nearer My God to Thee” and “One Sweetly Solemn Thought.” A husband crushed and nearly heartbroken, a son bowed down by the grief, his young heart scarcely yet knows, a daughter at present in the hospital for treatment for appendicitis and two sisters, Mrs. Tift, of Lacona, Mrs. Dillenbeck, of Pulaski, a host of relatives and friends are left to miss one who was ever welcome in our homes and whom we all loved. Messrs. M. J. Hicks, J. J. Dillenbeck, W. H. Tift and A. E. Barnard were the bearers. Burial in Westernville cemetery.
