Lutheria Place

Otsego Journal, December 13, 1882

Miss Lutheria Place, whose illness we have mentioned heretofore, died of consumption Thursday night last at seven o'clock.  She was the oldest daughter of F.C. Place, and has been in poor health for some years.  About nine weeks ago she was taken suddenly worse, and it was thought that she could survive but a short period.  She however lingered until the present time.  In consequence of ill health and being of a modest and retiring disposition, she has been but little abroad for some years, and consequently will be missed most at home.  She was a member of the Methodist church, and in her relations to the church and society, has always commanded the respect and esteem of all. The funeral took place from her late home on Sunday at twelve o'clock, Rev. Luzerne Wild officiating.  The remains were followed to White Store cemetery [Chenango Co., NY] by a long procession of relatives and friends.  By request of the family, we extend in their behalf to the neighbors and friends who have kindly assisted them during the illness and death of their daughter, their thanks as a small token of the appreciation in which they hold the kindness and sympathy so freely extended them.
