She has been for several years a faithful member of the M.E. church, although for several years unable to attend any of its services because of the slow lingering malady from which she suffered; yet, during all those years it was always her wish that the other members of her family attend divine worship and report to her as much as possible of the service that being one of her chief pleasures. The calls and visits of her pastor and friends were always looked forward to with delight and recalled afterward as bits of brightness that broke the monotony of the days. Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher were united in marriage Jan. 17, 1883, and until about ten years ago resided on a farm in the town of Guilford. Since Mrs. Fletcher's health began to fail they have been residents of the village. Many relatives and friends gathered at the home on Bixby street on Saturday, May 3rd, to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed one. The floral pieces were beautiful and expressed better than words, the tender sympathy of her friends. The singing, by Mr. and Mrs. Banner, Mrs. Howland and Mr. Bentley was greatly appreciated by the family while the kindly sympathetic words of the pastor touched every heart and made those who heard them think most seriously of the "long home" toward which we are journeying. The burial as in the beautiful little cemetery at Yaleville [Guilford, Chenango Co.., NY], where other members of the family also await the call to the resurrection.
