The entire community was shocked on Saturday morning to hear that death had again entered the Kentfield home.  Only a short time ago a son, Homer, was taken and now a son-in-law, Elias Houghtaling.  He was apparently in good health on Friday night, but in the early morning hours the family noted that he was rather restless, but in only an instant after they reached his bedside, he was dead.  Elias was 45 years of age and always a resident of Masonville [Delaware Co., NY].  He of exemplary character and industrious.  He could call everyone that knew him his friend.  His first thought was for his home and family which consists of a wife, three children, Mae, Kenneth, and Homer and his wife's mother Mrs. Kentfield.  They are indeed grief stricken at the loss of a loving husband and father, while his friends miss a kind neighbor.  It is one of the mysteries we cannot explain but somewhere, sometime, perhaps we'll understand.  Funeral services were held at the late home on Monday at 2 p.m., Rev David Jones, the family pastor officiating.  Interment in the family plot in the Masonville cemetery.  [Bainbridge Republican, June 23, 1921]

Slowly, gradually, day by day, hour by hour, her strength failed, until on the Sabbath of June 19th came the inevitable and Alice Wier Printy, esteemed and beloved by all, peacefully entered into rest eternal.  Among us all Mrs. Alice Wier Printy ranked always as a woman of culture, refinement, sympathetic, a kind neighbor, devoted mother and a valued friend, and withal, a woman of heroic mould in bravely meeting the stern requirements and the bitter disappointment of life.  Her spirit gone, she still is the mother of her dear children, upon whom she doted with such clinging fondness, still to guide and protect them.  Born in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] in the year 1858, Mrs. Printy's love for  her native village became more devoted with the gathering years.  Its hills and valleys, its fretful river, its grand old trees, all were to her artistic mind the gentle reminders of earlier days but best of all was the love and presence of dear good friends whose affections were bound to her heart as with bonds of steel.  In her death passes away one whose fiber and spirit was of the artistic mould;  she revealed in the beauties of nature and deftly transferred nature's glorious colors to dainty vases and canvas and as a musician she classed among the highest.  This then was the gracious one whose mortal remains were tenderly borne on Tuesday to yonder hill top and laid at rest, her casket covered with beautiful floral tributes, there to remain until the trumpet shall sound.  At the Congregational church Tuesday morning, 21st inst. on the occasion of the services, the auditorium was well filled.  The flower covered casket was followed down the aisle by the mourning relatives, followed by large delegations from the Woman's Relief Corps, the D.A.R. and Sidney chapter, No. 255 O.E.S. of which organizations the decedent was a valued member, Miss Fanny Doty at the organ playing a dirge.  The pastor, Rev. W.W. Chambers, spoke feelingly and tenderly of the life just closed, her devotion to family and friends, her noble example as a Christian, true to her Creator, likewise true to all.  Many indeed are the deeply stirred hearts who long will mourn Alice Wier Printy, the true mother, neighbor and friend.  Mrs. Printy in the immediate family circle is survived by her husband, Dr. J.A. Printy, of Chicago, Ill., one son, Dr. Emmett A. Printy, of Chicago, Two daughters, Mrs. Earl H. Truesdell of New York City and Miss Catherine Alice Printy of Sidney, N.Y.; one brother Fred Wier, of Clayville, N.Y.--Sidney Record.  The deceased was cousin of George C., Charles H., and Miss Josephine Clark [of Bainbridge, Chenango co., NY]  [Bainbridge Republican, June 30, 1921]
