April 19, 1899 - Obit. of Hannah LAKE Wixon, Mead's Hill, NY
(From Family Bible Collection, Montour Falls Library)
In Memoriam.
Hannah Lake, wife of Reuben Wixon, died April 19. 1899. Mrs. Wixon was born in Urbana, Steuben county, N. Y.
Sept. 22, 1819, and married Reuben Wixon, of Wayne, N. Y., Jan. 24th,1844, taking up her residence on Mead's Hill, in April. 1846, where she died.
Her health had not been good for two years. She had one stroke of paralysis six weeks and another four weeks prior to her death. Her mind was wandering during the greater part of her sickness but became clear a short time before her death and she died happy and peaceful.
She was well informed in matters of general interest, a faithful student of the Bible, a woman of a geuerous unselfish life, and an interested worker in the Baptist church of Moreland. Mr. W. C. Gray, of whose Bible class she was a member, as a tribute to her memory spoke in brief, at her funeral, of Mr. and Mrs. Wixon their long connection with the society, and her accurate and extensive knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. Frequently when questions presented in the Sabbath school were indefinitely answered she would turn to some marked passage in her Bible and ask the teacher to read it to the school. Her Bible was well marked and showed her loving acquaintance with it.
Three brothers, Isaac, of Hornby, Thomas, of Urbana, who resides on the old homestead and James, of Michigan; one son, Brandt, of Dix, one daughter, Mary Rapalee, of Farmer, and eleven grandchildren survive her, six children having died. The death of Frank, the last who died Dec. 3, 1893, and Mary his wife, Dec. 4, 1893, was a heavy affliction.
She was buried from the Baptist church at Moreland Saturday, April 22d, Rev. W. P. Slocum, officiating.
Mr. Wixon desires to express his thanks and appreciation of friends and neighbors and to Miss Lydia Wilbur for
all kindness and services during Mrs. Wixon's sickness and funeral.
