HOAG: In this town [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 7th inst., Mrs. Irene Hoag, aged 63 years, 3 months and 26 days.
SHELDEN: In this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 8th inst., Mrs. Isabel Sheldon, relict of Dr. Ira Shelden, formerly of Plymouth, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], aged 72 years. Mrs. Sheldon was a member of the Congregational Church, a mother in Israel, a woman of unwavering Christian principle of uniform and decided interest in the perspective of Zion at home and abroad, of strong personal attachments and friendships which gave in her life a more than ordinarily distinctive and positive characteristic. What she felt to be right and true she heartily approved, defended, and sustained, but what she felt to be wrong she as heartily and unhesitatingly condemned and reproved. To her friends she was ever true and faithful. Few persons perhaps have possessed stronger friendly sympathies. Her husband's thoughts, principles, wishes, though now eleven years dead, were nevertheless cherished with a sacredness amounting almost to reverence. Her children, all of whom she had buried many years, seemed still to be living with her and that they had stepped out to a neighbors. Her last great trouble seemed to be that perhaps she -?- her family in heaven more than her Savior and Redeemer. In fact, she never could feel so positive as many... and stabiltiy of her hope. Still, she said I must trust in Christ--in Christ alone. The last of the family, we believe, and buried by friends of no con..., her body sleeps with her family at Plymouth and her spirit, we hope, joys with them in heaven.
Her husband, we believe, some time previous to his death, had signified his pleasure with reference to the disposition to be made of any property that might remain at the decease of Mrs. Shelden, and his pleasure, as in other things was law to her. In this also and in accordance with it, aside from the demands of comfortable living, all funds were charity guarded and treasured in Bank or good securities. As the result we think that a trust society receives some $500. The A.B. Society $500 and the A.B.C. I. missions some thousands of dollars. Her friend, Warren Newton, Esq is understood to be her executor and no one perhaps would be more likely to make the most of the estate in the interest of the several objects to which it has been appropriated. How much better to die knowing that the last dime has been in good faith consecrated to God than to leave all, not knowing whether he who shall possess it shall be a wise man or a fool.
