After an illness of only ten days with pneumonia, Miss L. Maria Sperry died at 1:20 p.m. on Wednesday at her Main street home, Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], at the age of 71 years, 21 days. Previous to Monday of last week Miss Sperry had been in usual health, with the exception of a slight cold. She then became worse and Dr. Clark was called, and toward the end of the week a nurse engaged; but despite constant attention her condition gradually grew worse until the end came quietly. Her mind was clear most of the time to the last. Miss Sperry was born in Sauquoit, Oneida county, daughter of the Rev. Lyman Sperry, who became presiding elder and well known Methodist minister. Her mother was Amanda K. Robertson. Besides Sauquoit they resided in Cooperstown, Oxford, Cazenovia and elsewhere before coming here nearly fifty years ago. Upon retiring Mr. Sperry purchased a home in Unadilla. Miss Sperry was educated at Cazenovia. She taught in Unadilla, twenty years in Corning, and again many years, previous to about sixteen years ago, in Unadilla Academy, since which she has lived here quietly. She possessed a fine education and had read generally wide and much, and was a lady of quiet, gently manner and many admirable qualities. Of relatives nearer than cousins she is survived only by a brother, Watson Sperry, a journalist, now redising in Leipsic, Germany, and who was for several years the chief representative of the United States to Persia. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 P.M. from the house, conducted by the Rev. E.R.D. Briggs, burial in St. Matthew's church yard [Unadilla, NY]--Unadilla Times.
