Mary A. [Gates] wife of Ferdinand C. Gates. This estimable lady was born at Edmeston Center [Otsego Co. NY], April 2, 1827, and was therefore at the time of her death in the fifty-first year of her age. She was the granddaughter of Col. Adin Deming, a soldier of the war of 1812; daughter of the late Lyman White and sister of John T. White, Esq., now of New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY]. In 1849 she was united in marriage to Mr. Gates to whom she ever proved a true helpmeet.
In November last her health failed and her mind also became seriously impaired. In February following she was placed in the asylum at Utica under the care of Dr. Gray. But the expectations of her friends were not realized. The hope for restoration was not reached. On the morning of July 31 she died, very suddenly of apoplexy. August 1 her remains were brought to her late home in Exeter [Otsego Co. NY]. The day following, her funeral services were held in the Baptist church at Edmeston Center, and the wan and wasted body was laid away in the beautiful cemetery in that village. In her death her husband loses a faithful and devoted wife and society a true and noble woman. She leaves besides her husband, two brothers, a sister, and many warm friends to sorrow that she has passed away. May the assurance that having laid aside her "earthly house of this tabernacle," she now sits clothed with "her home from heaven," in a mansion where sorrows and clouds are not known be to this mourning circle the source of all needed consolation.
