The sudden death of Mrs. John Lobdell. al her home on Sixth street Thursday evening at 9 o'clock, came as a great shock to all. Although ailing from hardening of the arteries for some time, she had been around her home and in usual health up to the last. She had Just retired a short time before. Mr. Lobdell, who had not gone to bed, heard her gasp and stepped to the bedside. She was dead. Only a moment before she had spoken to him. Her passing was as serene and tranquil as has been her happy life.
Her departure from this life ends the remarkable and most devoted marital record of fifty-six years, which Mr. and Mrs. Lobdell have been privileged to enjoy. No couple have been more devoted, and the tender care given her by her life partner and family has been marked.
Helen L. Hevener was born December 7, 1846, in the town of Boonville, a daughter of Christopher and MaryAnn Hevener. Her early life was spent in her native town. September 7, 1865, she became the wife of Mr. Lobdell, and a few years later moved to Stockbridge, Madison county. Later he bought a farm in the town of Florence, where they lived for twenty-one years; then he bought a place on the Skinner Settlement road, living there for eight years; following this for eleven years they resided on Wolcott Hill, from whence they retired and came to the village eight years ago, altogether having lived in this immediate locality for about forty-eight years.
Mrs. Lobdell possessed all the attributes of a noble woman, a personality so sweet and charming that her memory will ever be cherished by friends. She was most devoted to her home and family.
Besides her husband she leaves, of the six children born to her, three to mourn her loss; Mrs. Cora Armstrong, Walter E. and Fred J. Lobdell, all of Camden. She also leaves five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, and two sisters, Mrs. Philip Brown of Taberg, Mrs. Urias Wood of Boonville.
The funeral was largely attended from the family home Monday at 2 p. m., Rev. N. A. Darling, officiating. Floral tributes in greater profusion or of more beauty have been seldom seen here. "Face to Face" and "Rock of Ages." two favorite hymns of the deceased, were beautifully rendered by John H. Cook, both hymns and singer being selected some time ago by Mrs. Lobdell. The bearers were Charles Waldron, Charles Howland, Wells Stanford, Fred Allman, Joseph Barnes, Henry Quance. The remains were tenderly laid in the family lot in Forest Park cemetery.
Those present from out of town at the services were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. McDowell, New Hartford; Mrs. Jennie Wicks, Utica; Mrs. David McCumber, Schuyler; Mr. and Mrs. Philip Brown. Alfred Brown, Harry Brown, Taberg; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hedrick, Mrs. Sarah Hornacre, Mr. Clayton Hornacre, Utica; Mr. and Mrs. Urias Wood, Boonville; Joseph Barnes, Mrs. Libby Barnes, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Williams, Canastota; Mrs. Kittie Nelson, Syracuse; Mr. and Mrs. Grover White, Taberg; Mrs. George Eaton, McConnellsville; Mrs. David Hiltbrand, Williamstown; Fred Quance, Whitesboro; Mr. and Mrs. Seth Bullock, Osceola, and Miss Maud Brown, Taberg.
