EGGETT-Death of Mrs.
O.H.P. Kinney-It is with great sorrow that we have to record the death
of Mrs. Mary Eggett Kinney, wife of the late Hon. O.H.P.Kinney, which occurred
at her residence on East Broad street at 6:19 Thursday evening, May 13,
1886. She had been in declining health for nearly two years, caused by
an internal cancer, and had been obliged to keep her bed most of the time
for the past eighteen months. She has been a great sufferer but has borne
her afflictions without a murmur and died as she had lived, a true CHristian
and beloved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was born
in London, England, April 26, 1822 and came to this country with her parents
when but three years old, and early in life settled in this valley, most
of her life having spent in Sheshequin, Towanda and Waverly. She was a
Spriitualist of unswerving faith, of a very social disposition, a fine
conversationalist, and enjoyed the company of her friends in a marked degree.
In health she weighed nearly or quite two hundred pounds but the ravages
of disease and long suffering had reduced her to a mere skeleton of her
former self. She leaves three sons, all of whom reside at the homestead
and have been with her during her long illness, ministering to her every
want, making it easier for her to withstand her afflictions and cause the
sands of life to move more peacefully on. The funeral will be held from
the residence at 3 p.m. Sunday, Rev. Lyman C. Howe, of Fredonia, to officiate.
Her remains will be laid beside those of her husband in Forest Home Cemetery.

GRAVES - Mrs. Fred
Potter died at the family home Friday forenoon, March 1, 1907, at 8 o'clock,
of peritonitis, after a ten days' illness. She was a patient sufferer,
remaining constantly cheerful with no thought apparently of self, only
anxiety for the welfare of those who were ministering and unceasing in
their care and devotion for their loved one. Realizing that she was going
to die she summoned the members of the family to her bedside and bade them
good-bye, assuring them that "all was well with her." Conscious to the
last, she passed from this life peacefully. Serena Graves Potter was the
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Graves. She was born in Elkland

S. H. Moon's pastorate she united with the Presbyterian Church, and has
been a consistent member ever since. On September 5, 1904, she was united
in marriage to Fred Potter. By her quiet, unobtrusive manner she won her
way into the hearts of all who knew her intimately, and her sad and untimely
death comes as a severe blow to a lare circle. The family have the sympathy
of many friends in their bereavement. Besides her husband she leaves a
little daughter, Lucille, aged 13 months, an aged father and mother, two
sisters and one brother. Funeral services were held from the home Monday
at 2 p.m., and were largely attended by relatives and sympathizing friends.
Rev. W. F. Colelough officiated, taking his text from St. John II. 11:25-26.
