Maria T. (Hull) Hickok

1845 - 1907

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  At her home on Mitchell street Tuesday night about 12 o'clock, occurred the death of Mrs. George H. Hickok, aged 61.  Deceased had been a patient sufferer for the past seven years during which time she underwent several operations without permanent relief.  Everything that medical aid and faithful care and nursing could do was done for her by her husband and children during her illness.  Mrs. Hickok was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Hull and was born December 6, 1845, on the old Hull homestead in the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY].  In November, 1866, she was united in marriage to Geroge H. Hickok, of Unadilla, and for a  year following their marriage they conducted a hotel in Afton.  They then returned to Unadilla and resided there until about 20 years ago, when the family came to Norwich and have since resided in this village.  For many years Mrs. Hickok had been a faithful member of the First Baptist Church.  Besides her husband she is survived by one son, Eugene Hickok, of Washington, D.C., one daughter, Mrs. Arnold Wheaton, of Ithaca, and two granddaughters, Miss Marie Benedict, of New York, and Miss Edna Wheaton, of Ithaca.  She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Augusta Sage, of Elmira, and Mrs. Ira C. Wightman, of Norwich, and one brother, Frank Hull, of Norwich, who is now seriously ill.  Her funeral is being held from her late home this (Friday) afternoon, Rev. J.L. Ray officiating. Burial in Mt. Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].

 

Sarah Palmer

Northern Christian Advocate, November 19, 1851

Mrs. Sarah, wife of Ajah Palmer, died at Skaneateles, N.Y. [Onondaga Co.], Oct. 22, 1851, aged 66.  She was born in Dutchess county N.Y., but has for several years past resided in this town [Skaneateles, NY].  Although possessed of those traits of character which made her the center of attraction and endearment in the family circle, she never avowedly embraced the Savior until a short time previous to her death.  The writer, in conversation with her, found her evidently "not far from the kingdom of God."  By the presentation of the "exceeding great and precious promises" of Scripture, and prayer, she was strengthened to apprehend the way of faith more perfectly, and expressed to those about her a willingness and desire to depart.  Her last effort at speaking was to articulate the word "Savior" as she passed into the "shadow of death."  She has left a numerous family, several of whom are members of the M.E Church, to mourn her loss.  May they all meet her in heaven.    Wm. N. Coss,  Skaneateles, Nov. 4, 1851.

Wells, died in 1803.  One daughter, Miss Lois Wells, a teacher in the public schools, survives.  Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J.L. Ray officiating.
