Mrs. Mary Jane Loomis died at her home in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], Thursday, Aug. 31, 1899, aged 62 years. Her disease was diabetes from which she had been afflicted two years, and was taken critically ill three weeks before her death. Mrs. Loomis was the widow of Richard Loomis of Union Valley, who died in the fall of 1892, from an injury received in a sawmill while sawing lumber. He was a well-to-do farmer and upon his death, he having no children, the care of the farm fell upon his wife who conducted it for about three years and then removed to Oxford. The deceased was the daughter of Thurston Green of Union Valley [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], and one of a family of ten children, all well known in this section. Her death brings to the remembrance of people in Bainbridge the sad death of her father several years ago which was occasioned by the cars, being killed instantly near the depot. He was then residing with the daughter, Mrs. Eli Lyon, and was over 82 years of age. The families of Loomis and Green were leading ones in the western part of tis town, substantial, honorable, thrifty and wealthy. Nearly all of the members including the deceased were allied with the M.E. church. Mrs. Loomis was a generous woman, kind, conscientious and considerate in all the relations of life. She enjoyed the companionship of her kindred and was looking forward to her removal to Bainbridge where she could be nearer her friends and to her old home. In her last sickness her mind dwelt upon the pleasure of coming to Bainbridge to live. Of her brothers and sisters, she is survived by Hamilton T. Green, and Mrs. Eli Lyon of Bainbridge; Mrs. Jerome Mayhew of Afton; Mrs. Wells, wife of Rev. M.S. Wells of Savannah, N.Y.; Henry Green of Earlville and James Green of Harpursville. The funeral was largely attended Saturday morning at the residence of the deceased in Oxford. Many came from the old home in Union Valley, and also from Norwich and Earlville and other sections. The local organization of the W.C.T.U., of which Mrs. Loomis was a member, attended in a body. There were many offerings of flowers. Rev. J.E. Littell of the M.E. church, Oxford, conducted the services at the house, and Rev. C.H. Sackett of Bainbridge officiated at the burial at Union Valley in the afternoon.
