Sarah Deliah (Dutton) Matterson
1829 - 1905
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Sarah Deliah Matterson, widow of Menzo Matterson died at the home of her son, Ward G. Matterson, on East Main street, Tuesday morning, aged 76. Mrs. Matterson, whose maiden name was Sarah Deliah Dutton, was born October 16, 1829, in the town of Plainfield, Otsego county, where she resided until 1866, when she moved across the Unadilla river into Chenango county, living on a farm until eight years ago, when she went to the village of South Edmeston, Otsego county, to reside. Her husband died there in 1901 and she then came to Norwich to make her home with her son. Feeble health forbade her getting about a great deal, but in the home circle and by those who knew her intimately she was greatly beloved for her kindly heart and many admirable qualities. Besides her son, Ward, with whom she made her home during her latest years, she is survived by one other son, Woodsworth B. Matterson, the prominent attorney residing in Norwich. A brief prayer service was held at her late home Friday morning at 8 o'clock, after which the remains were taken to South Edmeston for interment beside those of her late husband, the funeral services there occurring at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
