DIED: In Sand Hill [Otsego Co., NY], on Friday May 23, Henry Wilsey father of James Wilsey, of this village aged 76 years. [Bainbridge Republican, May 29, 1879]
Mrs. Nathaniel Godfrey, of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] was born July 19th, 1806; married February 3d, 1825; died January 5th, 1885, and was buried the 7th inst. This is a brief record of an eventful life, sixty years of married life--happy in her home and her surroundings, and yes those years were not exempted form sorrows, trouble and tears. And in them, and through them all, she was upheld by her unswerving faith in God. A long life of faithful service was crowned at last with the great reward. She was a faithful member of the Congregational church at Guilford Centre, and was always ready to give cheerfully of her means and her time to the service of the church. For the last few years her health was not very good, but she never gave up her household work until about two weeks before her death. Then she gave up all earthly care and toil, quietly trusting in her Lord and Master falling asleep in Jesus--blessed sleep. And there stood around her grave her companion for sixty years, her children and grandchildren, and other relatives and friends, weeping. Such a life and death call not for tears, but richly deserve from us all the tears of grateful remembrance. "She hath done what she could." "Blessed are the dead who die in the lord." Guilford Centre, Jan. 12, 1885, J.L. Jones. [Chenango Union, Jan. 15, 1885]
