Lines written in memory of the death of Carrie E. Holcomb and Sarah Lounsbury: On the 24th of July last, it pleased an Allwise and Omnipotent Ruler of heaven and earth to remove from our midst by death, Mrs. Carrie E. Holcomb, and on the 27th day of August last, Mrs. Sarah Lounsbury was by Divine dispensation removed from us by death; two daughters of Austin and Amelia Ingraham, residing at Chenango Forks, Carrie E. being 29 years of age and the wife of George Holcomb of New Ohio, and Sarah was 30 years of age and the wife of Judson Lounsbury of Chenango Forks. In the death of these sisters there has passed from earth two zealous and devoted christians of the highest character, the most prominent trails of their lives being their utmost devotedness to the principles and teachings of the Lord Jesus in all their walks of life; kind, loving and cheerful to all, patient under all afflictions and circumstances aiding at all times any whose aid was needed. Beloved by all who were so extremely fortunate as to be acquainted with them. Indeed two of our most beloved christian jewels have passed away to receive the reward promised to them in their early years by the love of Him who has them now ripe and ready for the early harvest. Though yet not far advanced in years and in the height of their usefulness both of them were ready to obey the voice of the Master when the summons came, to be bourne away on the snowy wings of angels to a land of peace, of joy and love, and there to hear the words of the Master: "Well done good and faithful servants enter thou in the joys of thy Lord." Among the last words ever spoken by our worthy and much esteemed christian friend Sarah, as she lay on dying bed surrounded by her stricken husband, three of her children, her aged father and mother and her brothers and sisters and those who so dearly loved her were: "Bless God, Praise Him," passing away into her eternal home with those beautiful words upon her lips. The deeply afflicted husbands and families of the deceased sisters have the utmost sympathy of all. their loss is indeed a severe one, none but those who pass through the firey ordeal can fully realize such a loss. Let us all and each of us strive to meet our worthy christian friends who have gone before us in that land where parting will never more be known; a land of joy and of peace and of love, where God and the Son makes it blest.
Two more ties are broken
From the earthly stem,
Two more jewels sparkle
In the Savior's diadem
Two more voices are hushed,
You'll never hear them more;
But Carrie and Sarah are not lost,
They have only gone before

At Lilly Lake Monday, Nov. 9th at the home of her youngest daughter, Mrs. Ellen Ingraham, Mrs. Jane E. McCullough Holcomb of Tunnel [Broome Co., NY], passed from this to the higher and better life. The greater part of her life of fifty-five years had been spent within the borders of her childhood home; all except when she with her family tried a pioneer life in the state of Missouri. The privations and burdens associated with such a life bore heavily upon her. Reluctantly she bade her new formed associates good-bye and returned with her family to her relatives and friends in her old eastern home. Her life was not an exception to the common lot of humanity; it was intermingled with joys and sorrows. As her health gradually failed it seemed that her spiritual strength was renewed. She was enabled to look beyond this vale of tears where all crooked ways would be made straight. She is survived by two sons, Geo. and Edwin, and two daughters, Mrs. Mary Warner and Mrs. Ellen Ingraham. They can be happy in one thought, their doors were thrown wide open to receive their mother. When she was suddenly prostrated and it was feared that the end was near, they left their several places of business and were at her bedside ready to administer to every want. Besides her own family she leaves one brother, George McCullough, of Susquehanna, Pa., two sisters, Mrs. Henry Race, of Oxford, Mrs. Wm. Mead, of Greene, and three grandchildren. The last tribute of respect of all that was mortal of their mother, sister and friend was paid on the following Wednesday. The funeral was largely attended in the New Ohio church. Words of consolation, a worthy tribute to her memory, was given by the pastor of her girlhood and one who had known her all these years, Rev. Hammond. The floral contributions from her friends spoke words of love to comfort the afflicted family. Interment was made in New Ohio cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY]. The bearers were her two sons and her two son-in-laws. [MHD notation: d. 1903]
