On Saturday, Sept. 26, in the late afternoon occurred the death of Mrs. Minnie Gordon, wife of William Gordon. Her death came very quickly and quietly as she sat in her chair by the window. Her last years have been spent in nearly total blindness, and several shocks had left her body very feeble. She was 72 years of age, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ray, and was born near Liberty. She was a devoted wife and mother, and a kindly neighbor, always cheerful through her years of affliction. Surviving are two sons, Raymond Blasier, of Port Jervis, N.Y., and Lieutenant A.F. Blasier, of San Diego, Calif., by a previous marriage; also an adopted son, Jasper Blasier, of Oneida, a stepson, Arthur Gordon, of Northampton, Conn., and a stepdaughter, Mrs. A. Predmore, of Rome.
