GALLUP,

St. Joseph Gazette, Friday, January 22, 1897
"DEATH OF MRS. GALLUP"
An Aged and Well Known Resident of St. Joseph
Dead
Mrs. Cynthia Gallup, more commonly
known as "Grandma" Gallup, died at the home of her son, Richard, at 2:30
o'clock yesterday morning, January 20. She was one of the oldest
and best known women of the city, who counted her friends by her acquaintances.
Although her last sickness was
of brief duration on account of her age her
death was not unexpected, and she died as she had lived, at peace with
all.
She was born in Cassville, N.
Y., in 1806, where she lived until 1865, when she removed to St. Joseph,
having married T. R. Gallup, her former name being Cynthia Budlong.
Mr. and Mrs. Gallup had born to them six children, five sons and one daughter,
only one, Richard M. , of whom is
living now. Her daughter, Clara Alexander,
the next, having died about eight years ago, having three children who
are in California. Although being over 90 years
old, her mind and heart were always active in any good work. One
of the last in which she was very much interested being a quilt, worthy
of much praise, which she had made in order to help raise money to equip
the new Baptist Church now being built at Thirteenth and Francis, of which
she was a member. In her eighty-eighth year she made this wonderful quilt
and began to place the name of any friend on it who would contribute 10
cents toward a seat in the church, which should be dedicated to her friends.
This was one of the delights of her heart. As she saw her amount
growing more pieces were placed on it and new names added with her own
hands until a short time ago, she handed in $60 and said her work was finished,
soon after passing away to be remembered as one who has passed before.

Unnamed & undated newspaper: Mrs. Milton
D. Gardner
Death at Bon Homme, S.D., of a Native of
Rome
The Springfield, S.D. Times has the following:
Mrs. Milton D. Gardner died at her home at
Bon Homme on Thursday morning, March 8, after a week's illness. The deceased's
condition became critical early in the week and absent ones were summoned,
all the immediate members of the family being present, with the exception
of the eldest son, Asa, who resides at New England, N.D., and who did not
arrive until after his mother had passed away. Besides this son, Mrs. Gardner
is survived by her husband, a second son, Clarence, and a daughter, Mrs.
Silverwood, who with her husband arrived from Chicago before the end came.
Mrs. Gardner's maiden name was Ophelia Brewer,
and she was born at Rome, N. Y., May 2, 1839. On May 1, 1861, she became
the bride of Milton D. Gardner. In 1873 the family removed from Dubuque,
Iowa, to Yankton, where Mrs. Gardner made many friends in the ten years
she lived in this city, then in its pioneer period. The friendships formed
in those early years never ceased when the family moved to Bon Homme, and
there are numerous old-time citizens in this community who deeply regret
the death of a valued friend. The year 1883 saw the Gardner family move
to Bon Homme and the years that have passed since then have seen the Gardner
home grow to be one of
the finest farms of that section. Its groves
were resorted to by many for picnic parties, and to all Mrs. Gardner extended
a kindly greeting, drawing around her as she had done in Yankton, many
very dear friends who will mourn with the relatives in their loss.

GOODYEAR, Harry
Atwater --- Picture of Harry & Catharine
Allen Curtiss Goodyear
"Life Spanned Almost 92 Years -- Death of
Harry Goodyear"
Camden - May, 1907: On Thursday night
there came a message from Cadillac, Mich., announcing the death of Harry
Goodyear, nearly a life-long and one of the oldest citizens of Camden.
Mr. Goodyear died that day after a brief illness of pneumonia, having been
confined to his bed for only two days.
The Goodyear family
were among the pioneer settlers of Camden and have figured prominently
in all that has pertained to the welfare and upbuilding of the village.
Deceased was a son of Edward and Leva (Alcott) Goodyear and was born in
Wolcott, Conn. Had he lived until May he would have been 92 years
of age. When a mere babe his parents moved to Brighton, Canada, going
in the winter time on sleighs. After a few years, or in 1820, they
came to Camden, which with the exception of about nine years had ever since
been his home. For many years he was a farmer, and early in his married
life he owned and occupied a farm in New Haven, Oswego County, for five
years. Returning to town he bought a place on the Talberg road, where
he remained till he came into the village to reside some thirty-five years
ago. His wife, who was Catharine, daughter of Charles and Sabrina
(Rice) Curtiss of West Camden, died several years ago, and since he had
made his home with his son Pernett in Cadillac, Mich., where he passed
away.
Mr. Goodyear was
a carpenter and worked at building after coming to the village. Among
his work was the building of the Dorrance & Wright block and the Presbyterian
church. He was one of four to erect the 105-foot steeple which ornaments
that pretty edifice. The other gentlemen included his brother, Lucius
Barnes Goodyear, James Gerow, and the late Mr. Cook. Deceased was
a member of the Presbyterian church and its first sexton for many years.
He was a man kind, generous and
thoughtful of others, and his death comes
as a great shock to his old friends. Of his two children, his son,
Pernett only survives, a veteran of the Civil War, Company II, 9th Regt.
Heavy Artillery. A daughter (Leve), the late Mrs. E. P. Woods, died
many years ago, leaving a daughter, (Bertha) who is now Mrs. Albert Mickle
of Utica.
Deceased was one
of the seven sons and one daughter of his father's family, of which but
two survive, they being Lucius B. Goodyear of Camden and Mrs. P.C. Costello
of New York City.
The funeral was
held in Cadillac and the remains arrived in Camden Saturday afternoon.
The burial was made at 9 a.m. Sunday in Forest Park cemetery, being preceded
with a prayer service by the Rev. Mr. Moody of the Presbyterian church.
The bearers were Joseph Stark, Daniel Dunt, B. A. Curtiss and W.J. Stoddard.

GOODYEAR,
Catharine Allen Curtiss
"Days of Sorrow to Some"
Mrs. Harry A. Goodyear
Camden - Sept. 1902: On Sunday, Sept.
14, 1902, at 3:15 p.m. ending a long illness from fatty degeneration of
the heart, out of the little white cottage No. 18 Washington street, this
village -- her home for a generation -- Mrs. Harry A. Goodyear passed to
her everlasting rest, aged 77 years, 3 months, 23 days.
A word in commemoration
of this good woman seems fit here: Catharine
Allen Curtiss, child of Charles and Sabrina Rice Curtiss, was born in Florence,
N. Y., May 23, 1825. On Feb. 4, 1847, she was united in marriage
with Harry Atwater Goodyear, by Rev. R. R. Kirk of Camden. Their
life of 55½ years together has been passed in this town with the
exception of ten years, 1855 to 1865, in Oswego Co. This period covered
the war for the Union. Ten homely verses -- a dialogue between a
youth and his mother, preserved on an old newspaper slip cherished by our
deceased friend to the last, hint at the part she bore in the strange struggle
of those trying times. Two of the ten verses run thus: -- The son's
request:--
"Have you heard the news that I hear today?
The news that trembles on every lip?
The sky is darker again, they say,
And breakers threaten the good old ship.
Our country calls on her sons again,
To strike in her name, at a dastard foe;
She asks for 600,000 men,
And I would be one, mother, let me go.
"He's my only boy, and this is my plan:
Perhaps it is foolish and weak;
But, mothers, I'm sure will have pity on
me,
And some word will tenderly speak.
The light of my home -- my tears fall like
rain--
Is it a wonder I shrink from the blow?
That my heart is crushed by the weight of
pain?
But I've kissed him and let him go."
This woman's "only boy," Pernett Lucius "Frank"
Goodyear, went as one of the 600,000 men at age 16, was wounded and regularly
mustered out of service a young man, and is still living -- an invalid
veteran.
Why do I introduce
to you this story with its homely verses? Simply to memorialize Mrs. Goodyear,
to her honor and your profit. It was like her, a principled doer
of the proper, sensible, right thing -- in the considerate kindly way at
the cost of whatever needful self denial. This marked her a "Good
Woman."
Mrs. Goodyear was
in a proper sense natively good -- of an amiable disposition and well-balanced.
"I knew here as a girl --a solid and sensible girl" says a neighbor. "By
custom become habit, she was reliable, good in relations and testings of
everyday life."
The very names she
was called by --"sister Catharine" i.e., clean, pure, and "Aunt Kate,"
confidentially kind and helpful, suggest appreciation, with a sense of
loss in her going away. The last of her father's house, she leaves many
a "sister" and many a "niece" wherever known.
As covering all
and modeling the natural and the habitual our friend was graciously good.
Early uniting with the visible Church, she walked with it -- in West Camden,
Mexico, and Camden, to the end. Cherished be her memory, imitated her example.
Two children were
born to Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear, Pernett Lucius, now at Cadillac, Mich.,
and Leve Amantha, who, as wife of Elly P. Woods, died twenty-one years
to a month, before her mother, on a September Sunday, and in the same house
and same room as she, leaving a child of five years who was baptized as
Bertha Floretta, at the mother's bedside, on the day of her death.
This child lived with her grandmother during the declining years, to their
mutual advantage and comfort, until her recent marriage to Albert J. Mickle
of Utica and their removal to that city.
The funeral, held
in the Presbyterian church at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, was largely attended.
Rev. Richard Abbott delivered the discourse, and Rev. E. N. Manley, for
many years pastor of the deceased made the memorial remarks.

"ROME WOMAN HAD NEARLY REACHED 100
********
Finished Knitting a Pair of Stockings Only
Last Saturday
********
Rome, Dec. 17.- Mrs. Sarah Seely Grant, widow
of John B. Grant, died this morning at the hom e of her son, Rev. A. J.
Grant. She had no illness, death being the result of old age and a g eneral
wearing out of the system. She was apparently as well as usual last evening
when she r etired. At 5:30 o'clock this morning she was thought to be sleeping
soundly and half an hou r later it was discovered that she was dead, the
body being yet warm.
Mrs. Grant's maiden
name was Sarah Seely. She was born in Stamford, Conn., July 7, 1808
. Her father, Jehue Seely, moved to Lafayette, this state, when she was
quite young. He fough t for America throughout the War of 1812 and was
present at the engagement at Sackets Harbor.
Mrs. Grant went
to church in Onondaga county and at an early age joined the Methodists
. The family lived on the site of the City of Syracuse. There were
then no regular hours o f worship in the township, services being conducted
in an old log schoolhouse.
Her father was a
British sympathizer during the Revolution and would not fight on the Am
erican side. Her husband assisted to put upon the tracks the first car
ever constructed fo r a railroad in this state. The car was brought down
from Albany to Syracuse by bob sleds. I t was taken to Geres lock, near
Belle Isle, the then eastern terminus of what is now known a s the Auburn
branch of the Central. The railroad was then called the Syracuse &
Rochester roa d.
Mrs. Grant possessed
an accurate and retentive memory up to the last. Her sight was goo d and
only Saturday she completed knitting a pair of stockings for her grandson.
She was abou t the house as usual yesterday and her health up to the last
had been considered excellent.
Mr. Grant died in
North Western, this county, in 1895 at the age of 93 years. They wer e
married in 1826 in Onondaga county. She was the last of a family of six
children. For the p ast thirty years she had made her home with her son,

Good Woman Gone
Receiving the news late we could,
last week but briefly mention the death of Mrs. Julia Grant who died at
her home in Paddock on Nov. 18th. Mrs. Grant, familiarly known to
a horde of acquaintances as Grandma, was one of the early pioneers of this
locality. She was a woman of sterling character held in the highest
respect by all who knew her and will be
sorley missed. Below we give
the particulars of her most useful life as written by one who has known
her for many years:
Julia Ann Earl was born in Oneida
county, N.Y., October 5th., 1821 and died November 18, 1913. She married
in 1842 to Charles Francis Grant. Soon after their marriage they
came to Wisconsin, from there to Iowa, where they lived until 33 years
ago, when they immigrated to Paddock, Minn., where she has since resided.
She survived her husband 23 years. Four
children were born to bless their union,
namely: Mrs. Mary Bryan of McLeod, N. D., John and David, who live in Paddock,
and William who died two years ago at his in Iowa.
Having always been a devoted
Christian, a kind and loving mother and a good neighbor, she will be greatly
missed by all who knew her. She joined the Methodist Episcopal church
at an early age and was great helper in the church as long as her health
permitted. She was one of five generations, having three living children
six grand children, twenty greatgrand children and five great great grand
children. Funeral services were held at the home of her son
John on Friday at 1:30 o'clock Rev. Stokes
officiating. She was laid to
rest in the Paddock cemetery beside her husband.
