        Resolutions of Respect
    “At a regualr meeting of Samuel Judd Post and Corps the following resolutions were adopted on the death of Mrs. Maryette Phelps:
        Whereas, On the 15th day of June, 1904, our Heavenly Father called to her home on high one of our loved members. The summons came at the end of a life well spent in the service of her Lord and in the loving care of husband and children. Therefore be it resolved, That we tender our sincere sympathy to the bereaved husband and children. To the husband who for nearly sixty years had relied upon her counsel and tender love in all the trials of life, we would say, “She is not dead, but sleepeth;” and to the children who miss her gentle presence, “Try to follow in her footsteps and forget not the example of her long life.”
        Resolved, That out of respect to her memory our charter be draped in mourning for thirty days, and that theses resolutions be spread upon the minutes of our order, and that a copy of the same be sent the bereaved family, also that it be printed in our local paper.

One day the angels came
    For this beautiful mother of ours,
And lured her away to their home
    That lies close to the ameranth bowers,
And there in her radiant youth,
    Where the ransomed aye flourish and bloom,
In the region of sunlight and truth
    She will wait for her loved ones to come.

The Naples Record, 1880]
Lucian Anable, of West Italy Hill, died at his home, on Wednesday night, Sept. 8 at quite an advanced age. Mr. Anable was one of the old residents of that town, and had served many years as Justice of the Peace. He has been afflicted with asthma for some time, and occasional bleeding of the lungs, but still his death was comparatively unexpected and sudden. He will be buried to-day.

The Naples Neapolitan, Thursday, September 23, 1880
Obituary, Lucian Anable. West Italy.
Died, at his home on Wednesday evening, Sept. 8, 1880, of hemorage of the lungs, our venerable and respected citizen, Lucian Anable, Esq. His funeral was held at the M. E. church, and his remains taken to Pine Corners, Middlesex, for interment. Mr. Anable was born near Saratoga, April 7, 1807. When but a child his parents settled in the valley of Middlesex, near the Italy line; there he grew up to manhood, working on a farm and at the cooper's trade. Oct. 31, 1831, he married Martha Shepherd, who bore him seven children, of whom all are dead except two—Helen,, who married Mr. Monagal and lives in Middlesex, and Lucian who is married and lives in Kansas. On Sept. 9, 1843, his wife died. He was married again Sept. 25, 1845, to Miss Nancy Jones, by whom he had five children, all of whom are living and married except Mary, who lives at home. Mr. Anable had been an invalid for many years, caused by asthma and bleeding at the lungs. will take an abler pen and one better acquainted with his life to do justice to his memory. For many years Mr. Anable held the office of justice of the peace, and justice alike was meted out to all; "Blessed are the Peacemakers!" He always tried to make peace, and discouraged lawing. Mr. Anable was modest and unassuming, a staunch republican in principle, and had he pressed his claim he would have reached our legislature. His brain was a well-filled storehouse, from which one could draw rich and varied information; we shall miss his wise counsels. The bereaved ones have the sympathy of all, for their loss is our loss, and the God in whom he trusted alone can consolation give.

Naples Record, 16 Feb 1883
    Died in Naples, NY, on Monday afternoon, Feb. 12, of paralysis, Wm M Simmons, aged nearly 45 years.
    To those who knew the deceased, this is not an unexpected event. For several years the condition of this great sufferer has excited the sympathy of everyone, as he has been wheeled about the streets on pleasant days, unable to help himself, showing by his emaciated appearance that pain was doing its work. Mr Simmons was born and raised in Benton Yates county, and in 1861 enlisted and was assigned to Berdan's sharp shooters. After about a year's service, in consequence of exposure and hard marching his lower extremities were completely paralyzed, and he was soon after dicharged. Never since then has he walked. Until within three or four years ago he was accustomed to drive, by being assisted in and out of the carriage, but of late this privilege was denied him. Some eight or ten years ago he bought a farm in Hickory Bottom, and lived there for a few years, coming to town about three years since. During these years of helplessness, he has been tenderly cared for by his wife, a labor requiring great patience and self denial. His wife and one brother are the only near relatives left. Funeral services were held on Wednesday morning in the Christian church. Eight of the members of the Grand Army Post of this village, of which the deceased was a member, were detailed to act as bearers, and the Post in a body attended the funeral. The services were conducted by Rev Mr Fuller, pastor, Rev Mr Stratton assisting. Mr Fuller preached an able discourse from Rev 22:5, closing with words of comfort to the friends and an exhortation to the church, which now had lost another of its members, to work while the day lasts, for soon the night cometh to us all. The burial was in Nettle Valley, in the town of Potter, in the family ground.
