Elizabeth J. (Bosworth) Wilcox

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Saturday evening last, at the family residence on Rexford street, after an illness of less than 24 hours, Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wilcox died, aged 80 years.  She had been in her usual good health until a few hours before her death, the announcement of which was a sad shock to her many relatives and acquaintances.  Mrs. Wilcox was born in North Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], July 27, 1823, the daughter of Timothy and Betsey Bosworth.  In 1841 she married Henry C. Wilcox, of this village, and for a number of years they resided in Painted Post, N.Y.  They returned to Norwich in 1857 and had since made their home here.  Mr. Wilcox died August 14, 1897.  For many years Mrs. Wilcox had been a respected member of the Broad Street M.E. Church and throughout her long life she was greatly esteemed by a large circle of friends to whom she had endeared herself by her amiable and generous disposition.  During the last three years of her life she had been cared for by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Anna Wilcox.  Mrs. Wilcox is survived by one son, John Wilcox, and by one sister, Mrs. Mary E. Nichols, both residing in this village.  Her funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Wilson Treible officiating.  Interment was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].

 

Amelia Wetmore

Oxford Review, November 10, 1911

Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]:  The funeral services of the late Mrs. Amelia Wetmore, who died at her home on South Main street, Monday, Oct. 30, in the 86th year of her age, were held from the house on the following Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J.S. Crompton of Binghamton, a former pastor of the M.E. church in this village being in charge, assisted by the Rev. Luther Weller, rector of St. Peter's Episcopal church.  Mrs. Wetmore was a lady held in high esteem in this village and will be greatly missed by all who had come to know her, for to know her was to love her.  Especially will she be missed by the only daughter, Mrs. Angelia Winsor, who had always remained at home with her mother, and during the past few years when the mother's health has been failing has been the constant companion and nurse.  However, we rejoice that the mother has now reached home, and will there be free from all pain and care, and where with the husband who preceded her twelve years ago, is awaiting the coming of their only child.

Beautiful toiler, thy work is done,

Beautiful soul into glory gone,

Beautiful life with its crown now won,

God giveth thee rest.

Burial was made in the family plot in St. Peter's cemetery [Bainbridge, NY], by the side of husband and son-in-law who went on before.
