Rhoda Cross died at her home on Covington St, Perry Friday p.m, July 28th, at 6:30, aged 88 years, 11 months. She was a daughter of William and Clorinda Knapp, early pioneers in the town of Warsaw, where she was born Sept. 13th, 1810. Her life nearly spanned the century. She had lived to see this western wilderness blossom into fruitful fields dotted with populous cities and thriving villages. "Aunt Rhoda," as she was familiarly called, was a woman of character; independent, self reliant, intelligent, of sound judgment, retaining her faculties in a wonderful degree to the end, and while from physical infirmity she had not cared to mingle with the world for several years, yet she never lost her interests in the stirring events of the age and kept well posted and abreast with the times.
She removed with her parents when a small girl to the town of Perry, settling on a farm north of West Perry. Here she remained, caring for her parents with filial love and tenderness until her death. In the early sixties she came into the village of Perry, buying the little home where she died. In early life she took Christ as her Saviour and Protector and united with the M.E. church, of which she was a faithful and consistent member to the day of her death. Funeral service was held Monday at 1:30 p.m, at which her pastor, Rev. B. Copeland, spoke very feelingly and truthfully of her interest in current events and her cheerfulness and contentment while absolutely alone, as she was most of the time. Interment at Warsaw. Only one sister remains, Mrs. Eunice Smead of Buffalo."
