- Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, June 19, 1884 Pulaski Democrat - South Richland - Milson White is dead. One can hardly realize it, he was so long a resident of this community. He was a native of England, we believe, although of Welch parentage. He married Laura Holmes, daughter of the late Jesse Holmes, and sister of Rev. Henry S. Holmes of the Northern New York Conference, who died a few years ago. Mrs. White is also a sister of Mrs. J. S. Brown. Both women are in advanced in years and both suffering with that terrible disease, cancer. It was at Mr. White's house that his grandmother, Albion's first centenarian, Mrs. Thomas Gridley, died in 1849, at the age of 103. He lived then on the farm now occupied by George Hutchings. Later he moved to Holmesville, and lived on the place now occupied by John Erskine, Jr. There were three children. The oldest, Edward, enlisted in the war for the Union, went south with his regiment and never returned. The only daughter, Mrs. Martha Westover, died in Parish a few years ago, and the youngest, Milson Jr., died in Holmesville a few years before. Of the family none are left, but Mrs. White and Martha's child. Thus one by one the old landmarks are being removed.
