"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 46, No 23, p 368, June 5, 1890.
At his home in the town of Hornellsville, N. Y., May 25, 1890, Schuyler Whitford, aged 73 years.
His illness was of the nature of tetanus, resulting from a thorn in the hand. He was born in Berlin, N. Y., and was the third son of Joshua Whitford. He was among the early settlers in this country, and one of the constituent members of the Hartsville Seventh-day Baptist Church, a most faithful Christian man, and a pillar of the church, whose services he dearly loved, and attended most faithfully. For nearly forty years he had been its leader of song service, and to the last took his place in the choir and carried his part with voice unbroken, clear and strong.
He was a most diligent student of the Bible, and was always at his place in the Bible class, as well as at all the other appointments of the church. A truly good man has gone to his reward. His funeral services were held in the Hartsville church, conducted by his pastor, D. E. Maxson, assisted by H. P. Burdick. His remains were interred in the Alfred rural cemetery.
