Mrs. Betsey Brown departed this life at the home of Mrs. Melissa Brown, in Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], March 2, 1895, aged 96 years 2 months and 18 days. She was a daughter of Charles Brown, and was born in Stonington, Ct. She was adopted by Daniel Baldwin when she was seven years of age, and came from Stonington to East Pharsalia with Daniel Baldwin and family. When twenty years of age she married Oliver C. Brown, of Pharsalia, and since her marriage has resided in Pharsalia. She leaves three sons, William L. Brown, of South New Berlin, Noyes E. Brown, of Pharsalia, and John H. Brown of Nebraska, and one daughter, Amelia, who is married and resides in Madison county, and a large number of grandchildren to mourn her departure from an earthly to a heavenly home. The bereaved family have the sympathy of this community in their bereavement. In early life she made a profession of religion, and has ever lived the life of a consistent Christian. She well and faithfully performed every duty as wife, mother, neighbor and friend. Her neighbors and many friends will long cherish her memory. May the bereaved children follow the example she has set them, and so live that they may meet her in that home where sorrow never comes. The funeral was held Monday, at her late residence, and the services were conducted by Rev. Olin Burley. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, March 7, 1895]
Unadilla Valley: Again the death knell has sounded in our quiet valley. On Thursday afternoon, February 28, the tidings flew from lip to lip: "Mrs. George Graves is dead." The husband and wife, who had spent a long and happy life together, were suddenly prostrated by la grippe. They were ill in the same room. The death angel came, and "one was taken and the other left." The blow was terrible for the husband, who lies in a very critical condition. Mr. Trumen Prentice, the son-in-law, is also on the sick list. All that medical skill or devoted affection could do, was done to ward off the stroke, but availed nothing. The adopted daughter of Mrs. Truman Prentice was tireless in her devotion, night and day. The cottage home was crowded with kind friends at the funeral. The sleeper, lying so peacefully among the flowers, looked happier than in life. The pain and sorrow were gone forever. Rev. Mr. Blair preached one of his comforting sermons, and she was laid in the Mt. Upton cemetery. Among the friends present from abroad, we notice Mr. Gaylord Graves, from Bainbridge, with his wife and daughter; Prof Graves, from Delhi; Mr. Hall from Unadilla; Mr. Robert Case, of White Store, and Mr. Emory Reynolds and wife, of Binghamton.
