She was the oldest of a family of sixteen children, - five sisters and one brother, also five half sisters and four half brothers. Her parents came from Berlin, N. Y., and made their home in East Valley. Here she was born and lived, to the age of twenty. She was married to Jonathan Pettibone, December 3, 1857, and they began life together on their farm home in the town of Hartsville. There they lived a happy and useful life together for fifty years, until her husband was called home. To them four children were born, - Fred, who died in 1894, Frank, whose home is at Mt. Clemons, Mich., Francis and Ford, who died in infancy.
Mrs. Pettibone confessed Christ and united with the Second Seventh Day Baptist Church of Alfred when she was fourteen years old. When she moved with her husband to the town of Hartsville she transferred her membership to the Hartsville Church and continued a loyal member, active in the church, Sabbath school, and Ladies' Aid society. She has been a continued sufferer for some years. The last two years were spent with her grandson, Bernard Pettibone, where she was tenderly cared for. She was a woman of splendid Christian spirit, and bore her afflictions with much fortitude, always meeting you with a smile. She leaves one son and two sisters, Mrs. W. H. H. Keller, of Alfred Station, Mrs. Delia Hardy, of Andover; and one brother, David Clair, of Steuben County; also three half sisters and two half brothers, - Mrs. Walter Ormsby, Mrs. Charles Austin and Leonard Clair, of Alfred Station, Mrs. Alice Vance, of Oklahoma, and William Clair, of Nile.
The funeral was held in the Second Alfred church at two o'clock Wednesday, March 27, Rev. Ira S. Goff officiating. Interment in the Alfred Rural Cemetery.
