Wife of George, mother of Daniel and Charles. Daughter of Daniel and Hannah (Sawdy) Lake.
Died, in Sempronius, May 25, 1879, Hannah A. Sawyer, widow of the late George Sawyer, of that town, at the age of 79 years and 26 days. Mrs. Sawyer, whose maiden name was Lake, was born in Rhode Island, where she spent her youth, removing with her aged parents and other relatives, to this state in 1831, and for the last forty-eight years had lived upon the farm where she died. When the family removed to this county it was long before the days of railroads and they found transportation by Erie Canal from Albany to Jordon, and were there met by Joseph Macomber, Knight Springer and William Brown, (the latter still living, in the town) and conveyed to their new home.
In a family of eleven children, originally, hers was the first death to occur in the space of fifty-five years – two brothers and three sisters, still surviving her, viz: Reuben Lake, of Homer, NY., Oliver Lake, of New London, CT., Mrs. Tompkins and Mrs. Royce, of Auburn, NY, and Mrs. Crandall, of Troy, NY., the last of whom was with her sister in her last hours. Mrs. Sawyer will long be remembered as among the kindliest, most generous and sympathetic of friends and neighbors. She leaves two sons, Daniel L. and Chas. Sawyer, both residents of the town, to perpetuate the family name.
