In 1857 he married Sabra Brown of Harpursville and soon after they bought the farm and Mr. Wylie built the house where they have since passed fifty-two years of life together, making a pleasant, hospitable home.

He has filled many offices of honor and trust in town affairs, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends and relatives. But no one will the loss fall so heavily on as his wife, who has the sympathy of everyone in her great sorrow. the funeral will be held Thursday P.M. at 1 o'clock at his late home with burial at West Coventry. Rev. Luther L. Weller of Bainbridge will officiate. [Compiler note: d. 1910 and buried in Coventry Union Cemetery]

Thursday, October 29th, at 3:15 o'clock in the afternoon the spirit of Miss Jennie A. Wylie passed from death into life. Miss Wylie had been declining in health for some time, being confined to the house the last few months. Miss Wylie was born in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], Oct. 1893, and was therefore just past her twenty-first birthday.

Rice of Harpursville preached the sermon and the M.E. choir of Nineveh assisted by Mrs. R.F.

The bearers were Ernest Williams, Carl VanDusen, Frank Johnson and Floyd Bunce. The floral offerings were many and beautiful, showing the high esteem in which Miss Wylie was held. Notwithstanding the threatening weather a large crowd was present to pay their last respects to their departed friend, many coming from a distance. Interment was in the Nineveh cemetery. The passing of this young life to better things breaks in sunder the chain of friendship in a sense. We still love her memory but nevermore until the dawn of a new day for mankind can we hope to again clasp her hand, but then we feel confident we shall see her without any human imperfection welcoming us with all the old friendliness. To the father, mother and two brothers left here the sincere sympathy of all is extended. [MHD notation: d. 1914]
