This community was deeply saddened
on Tuesday, May 19th, when it
became known that Maud Alvbrd
Voorhees had passed into the life
tfverlasting at St. Jerome's Hospital
In Batavia. She had been in poor
health for nearly two years, during
which time she had submitted to two
operations. Her condition had somewhat
improved and hopes were entertained
for her recovery. The best
medical attention possible was given
her but to no avail, and a sudden
change for the worse resulted in her
death. Her suffering throughout was
borne with that sweet, patient christian
fortitude which she always displayed.
To know her was to love her
and to at once become her friend.
AlwayB kind and considerate of
others she won a place in her home
and community which it will be hard
to fill. A devoted wife, mother and
friend has answered the final summons
but her memory is blessed and
the community in which she lived
for so many years has been bettered
by the influence of her life.
Mrs. Voorhees was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Alvord of the
town of Hartland, where she was
born 1881 and had always resided In
Niagara and Orleans counties. On
Sept. 30th, 1899 she was married to
Charles Voorhees of the Town or
Hartland, and has resided on Lee
street in the town of Barre for many
years.
She is survived by her husband,
two sons, Clayton and Earl Voorhees;
her parents, four sisters and one
brother as follows: Mrs. Chas. Bowman
of Hartland; Mrs. Clarence Bowman,
Lockport;" Mrs. Frank Dohring;
Warrens Corners and Alfred Alvord
of Hartland.
The funeral which was largely at-,
tended was held from her late home
on Lee street on Friday afternoon at
2:30, the Rev. J. J. Allen of Medina
officiating. Interment was made in
the Millville cemetery. The floral
tributes were many and beautiful and
bore silent tribute to the love and
affection in which she was held by
her many friends and relatives.
