Norwich [Chenango Co. NY]:  Death has been described as the darkest cloud in the horizon of humanity.  It never seems more truly so than when a young wife and mother is taken from her loved ones.  Thursday of last week, Libbie Graves Salisbury passed away after a brief illness, leaving all that was sweet and lovely of companionship as a priceless legacy to her heartbroken husband, her children and many loving friends.  Deceased was born in the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY], January 29, 1875, the daughter of Arnold and Mary Graves.  Eighteen years ago she came to teach in "the Quarter," three miles east of Norwich, boarding in the family of Seth Chapin.  The following year, in November, 1893, she married Albert W. Salisbury, who was in the Chapin family at that time.  She died in the same room in which they first met.  The union was a happy one.  Four children were born to them, one died in infancy and there survive her, Raymond, aged 14, Mary, aged 13, and Olive, aged 11.  On Sunday her father, the last of his family, passed away in New Berlin, as the result of a shock suffered some time ago.  Funeral services for Mrs. Salisbury were held on Saturday afternoon, Rev. Paul Riley Allen officiating.  Interment in the Quarter Cemetery.  [Glen Buell Collection, Guernsey Memorial Library, Norwich, NY]
