Honeoye, NY - On Tuesday morning at the home of his daughter in this village, occurred the death of Solomon Francisco, after an illness of only a few days.
He was born in the town of Canadice about 81 years ago, and 50 years ago was married to Miss Elmira Knowles, also of Canadice, and in this town his life was spent, until about 12 years ago, when the wife died. Since that time he has made his home with his children.
In early manhood he learned the trade of a blacksmith and for years conducted a shop until the infirmities of old age compelled him to relinquish the work.
He is survived by four children, William Francisco of Atlanta; Elmer Francisco of Canadice; Mrs. John Hann of the town of Richmond; and Mrs. Albert VanBuren of this village; one sister, Mrs. Delia Brogan of Hemlock; several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The funeral was held from the home of Albert VanBuren, on Thursday morning, Rev. Joseph E. Clark, of Hemlock, officiating, with interment in the Canadice cemetery beside his wife.
