1848 - 1917

In early childhood she removed with her parents to Norwich where she had ever since made her home. April 30, 1867, she was married to Whitman Stratton, the 50th anniversary of the wedding being fittingly observed by a reunion of the family and friends at the Stratton home on East Main street on April 30 last. She was a devoted wife and mother, and the beauty of her useful life will remain as a sacred memory to her relatives and acquaintances. Her husband survives her. Of four children three remain, Mrs. Alice S. Wick and Howard G. Stratton, of this city, and Mrs. Louise Vickers, of Worcester, N.Y. Another son, William A. Stratton, died two years ago.

Otsego Journal, November 29, 1900
Mrs. William Lewis, an old and much esteemed resident of White Store [Chenango Co., NY] died at her home in that place on Friday last, at the age of 78 years. Deceased was born in England in 1822 and the family came to this country 44 years ago, of which time they have resided at White Store [Chenango Co., NY] 36 years. Here a large family was reared and went out into the world to occupy various positions of usefulness and responsibility. Of this family nine children survive the death of their mother: Mrs. Ketchum, Mrs. Case, Mrs. Price and Thomas Lewis reside at Sidney; Mrs. James Kinney, Otego, Henry Lewis, Morrisville; Sherman S. Lewis, Utica; Cory E. Lewis, Oneonta; and Mrs. Nellie White, So. Dakota; all but the last were in attendance at the funeral which occurred at the old church at White Store on Monday at one o'clock Rev. Watrous, of New Berlin officiating. The services were largely attended by the many friends old and young that the sunny temperament and motherly, sympathetic nature of the deceased had won for her during the many years of her residence at White Store. The burial was in evergreen cemetery of that place, of which her husband, William Lewis has been sexton during nearly the whole of the thirty-six years of their residence there. With the death of his wife the home will be broken up and Mr. Lewis will spend the remainder of his years with his children.
James Martindale
Otsego Journal, November 29, 1900
Morris [Otsego Co.,, NY]: The community was simply astounded this Monday morning when the news was circulated that James Martindale was dead in Albany, as but a very few had any knowledge that he was suffering from any complaint whatever. But it appears he was troubled with stone in the bladder, and a short time ago he went to the Utica hospital and they refused him an operation. So last week he went to Albany and there had an operation last Saturday. Toward night they telegraphed his wife to come right along, as they could not restore him to consciousness. His wife went Saturday afternoon, and Sunday night news came that he was dead. His death is a great loss to Morris. He was just in the prime of life, a man possessed of many business qualifications, a good veterinary surgeon and a useful citizen. He will be missed in all the walks of life, and it will be hard for the Morris fair to fill his place as general superintendent. He leaves a wife and adopted son and a large number of relatives and friends.
William Taylor
Otsego Journal, November 29, 1900
Morris [Otsego Co., NY]: William Taylor died last week. He was about 75 years of age and has lived nearly all his life in and about Morris, being one of the old settlers in Pittsfield near Ebenezer Chapel. He has been in very poor health for the past few months, and his wife's death a short time ago very likely shortened his days on earth. Although an uneducated man, Mr. Taylor, has been an upright citizen and a useful man in the community all his life. Both he and his wife have been carefully and lovingly looked after during their last days of life--through their months of illness, by their daughter, Mrs. V.J. Hoke. His funeral was largely attended at the Baptist church, of which for many years he had been a consistent and worthy member. he leaves one daughter, Mrs. V.J. Hoke.
