The friends of Mrs. Lucy Slingerland Tibbals regret to learn of her death at her home in Canadice on Wednesday of last week, Dec. 31, 1902, from a lingering illness of many years from rheumatism and consumption. She was upwards of 60 years of age and leaves a husband and two sons, beside several brothers. Rev. Slingerland formerly of Cohocton is one of these.
The deceased had been a great sufferer for years, which was borne with patience and Christian resignation. Though of a cheerful disposition, she was quiet and domestic in her tastes, and loved her home and her family best of all, where she will be greatly missed. The funeral was held last Friday.
