"In Memorium
"Mrs. Nancy Sanders died in Fabius, Onondaga county, N. Y., July 9, 1891, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. David Rowley (sic), at the advanced age of nearly 84 years. The deceased was born in Salem, Washington Co., N.Y. November 11, 1807. When a child her parents moved from that place to Manlius, in this county. Here she grew up to womanhood, and was united to Mr. Thomas Maxwell, in marriage. Two children were born to them. One is still living and the other died while young. The Lord saw fit to take this loving young husband from her side and she was left to mourn the loss of one so dear.
She remained a widow for two years, when she married Mr George Sanders of Lincklaen. N.Y. God blessed them with six children, five of whom survive her, one dying when a child. In 1870 the husband and father went out from the home, never again to return, to cheer and comfort the heart of the widowed mother, or lead tenderly by the hand, the children he loved. Mrs. Sanders remained at her home in Lincklaen for nearly two years, when
the only daughter remaining with her was married to Mr. Daniel Rowley of Fabius, and she came with her daughter to her new home.
Mrs. Rowley, with her faithful companion, and their children, took great pleasure in watching over and caring for her in her declining years. She was a devoted Christian many years, and when the infirmities of old age deprived her of church privileges, she was delighted to have Christians come to sing and pray with her, and the writer always found her rejoicing in home of her heavenly home. Sometimes her first greeting would be, "Have you brought Jesus with you?"
Suddenly, July 5th, she was stricken with paralysis and remained unconscious most of the few days she lived. Her daughter, Mrs. Rowley, and children, watched over her day and night most faithfully, doing all they could for her, till she entered into rest, safe from all sorrow and suffering, in the beautiful home in heaven.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Smith. Beautiful flowers were on the casket, the loving tributes of kind neighbors, to the memory of this aged mother. The remains were taken to her old home in Licklaen and laid at rest in the beautiful hillside cemetery, till "Jesus comes." Be ye also ready. L.E. Bates"

Mrs. Lucina Saunders was born in the town of Lincklaen, where she lived until January 1st, 1872, when she married Daniel Rowley of Fabius, where their married life was spent. Mr. Rowley died in 1887.
About ten years ago she went to Tully, where she has since made her home. Mrs. Rowley had been in poor health for several years, during which time she has received loving care and careful attention from the daughters at the home, especially during the last six weeks, when their only thoughts were of her and giving assistance to the nurses. They knew the time was short. She never gave one murmur. Her only desire was to go to sleep in Jesus, making all plans for the funeral service with a smile, and telling the girls what to do with their financial business in the future, having her clear mind all through her sickness, even to her last breath."

"George Mantell, 40, of Chittenango, a highway laborer, died Monday night in Canastota Memorial hospital with a bullet in his left forehead after a shooting fracas at the Bridenbecker hotel, Chittenango Station.

"Myrtle J. Brown Rowley, was born to David S. and Erma M. Hart Brown in the town of Pompey, August 10, 1884. Soon after she moved with her parents to the town of Fabius, where she made her home the remainder of her life.
In her early years, she was converted and loved her God, the maker of all good. In later life she enjoyed going to church as much as her health would permit, also to the Philathea, Missionary, Ladies' Aid and other organizations she belonged to for the betterment of the world and of mankind.
She was a charter member of the Fabius Grange, also a member of the Onondaga County Pamona Grange and of the New York State Grange and was anxiously waiting for the time when health and conditions would permit her to join the National Grange.
She has been a great worker and planner in her home Grange, being the Secretary a long time and could work with her pen when health did not permit her to do other work.
Jun 19, 1901, by Rev. B. Monroe Posten, she married Byer F. Rowley of Fabius. Since then they have spent their lives happily together in their home town trying to make the place brighter and better for their having lived in it, altho with the sickness and hardships at times it has been a sacrifice and a pretty up-hill climb.
God has been good to them and gave them four kind and loving daughters to help and cheer them on their way. Eunice M.R., Esther L., Erma E. and Emily A. The eldest of which was married March 1, 1922 to Leonard G. Foster and God has blessed them, with three nice boys, Glen R., Gerald F. and Gene B. all of which (mama and grandma) were proud and thankful for and in her poor health and suffering she has tried to live such a life as to be a guiding star for those left to mourn her loss.
God took her home November 23, 1927, and the funeral sermon was by Rev. B. Monroe, pastor, who twenty-six years before had performed her marriage ceremony.
The body was laid to rest in the Fabius Evergreen cemetery, midst an abundance of flowers furnished by her many friends for which we are thankful." (- handwritten below this: "De Ruyter Glance, Mama's Obit")
