"Mrs. Juliette M. Gladding, widow of Horace DeWitt Gladding, passed away at her home on East Avenue, Friday, June 13th, at 12:30 p.m., aged 78 years. She had been in feeble health for a long time, the result of repeated shocks of paralysis. In January, 1901 she suffered a third stroke, which left her in a serious condition. Since then she has been gradually failing, and for weeks the family and friends had known that her days on earth were numbered. She bore her illness with fortitude, was resigned to her lot and patiently awaited the end, which came very peacefully.
She was one of the best known ladies of the place, having been a resident of this locality the greater part of her long and active life, and was most highly esteemed by a large circle of friends. She was born in Busti, Chautauqua county, June 24, 1824. Her parents moved to Alexander when she was about twelve years old. A short time after they settled in that place, Mrs. Gladding's father was accidentally killed. She soon after came to Attica to attend school and since that time, with the exception of a few years spent in Illinois and Wisconsin, has always resided here.
Of her father's family only one survives her, Mrs. J. G. Doty, three brothers, V.C., Rowley Phideo Taylor, after whom Rowley P. Taylor Post is named, and Alonzo Taylor having preceded her to the spirit world. She was married on New Year's Day, 1841, to Mr. Gladding, who died in 1881. Of their five children, three, Mrs. S. G. Warren and Miss Attilee Gladding of Attica, and Mrs. Wm. Wilder of Walden, survive. Her only son, George died May 2, 1901, and her youngest daughter, Lottie, in 1884.
Funeral services were held at her late home on Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, and were attended by a large congregation of people who had long known her and thus testified their appreciation of her and their sympathy with the bereaved family. Rev. A. A. Brigden officiated and at the close of the services the remains were borne to their last resting place in Forest Hill."

Mrs. Doty, whose maiden name was Olive K. Taylor, was 80 years old and spent the greater part of her life in this village, where the family was socially prominent. Her husband died six years ago.
