DEATH ROBS CITY OF OLD RESIDENT
Mrs. Sarah Osgood Tracy Is Mourned by a Host of Friends.
Mrs. Sarah Osgood Tracy, one of the oldest residents of the city, died at 11:15 o'clock yesterday morning at her home, No. 622 James street. Death was due to indemnities of advanced age.
Private funeral services will be held Thursday morning, Rev. S. R. Calthrop officiating.
Mrs. Tracy was born at Andover, Mass., on April 30, 1804. She was the daughter of Dr. George Osgood and Sarah Vose Osgood and a granddaughter of Colonel James Vose of the First Massachusetts Regiment, who fought in the Revolutionary War. She came to Syracuse in 1830 and lived in the family of her brother-in-law, Captain Horace Putnam. She was married in 1836 to James Grant Tracy and went to Albany to reside.
In 1839 Mr. and Mrs. Tracy removed to Syracuse, where Mr. Tracy took charge of the Syracuse land Company, in which the Townsend and James families of Albany had large holdings. Mr. Tracy continued with the company until his death in 1850.
Mrs. Tracy leaves three sons, James G., Osgood V. and William G. Tracy, and four grandchildren, C. Sedgwick, Lyndon, James Grant and Frank Tracy, all of this city.
Cultured and Hospitable.
Mrs. Tracy was a life-long member of the Unitarian Church and an honorary member of the D.A.R. She was never actively engaged in any charitable organization, although taking a deep interest in all and liberally aiding in their support. She was a woman of much culture and a most delightful and hospitable hostess. She retained her faculties to the time of her death and her remarkably fine memory made her a delightful conversationalist. She was a child of 11 years when the battle of Waterloo was fought and had few contemporaries who could remember the occurrence.
She was very active and fond of young people's society and as one by one the friends of her own age dropped away, she took up the pursuits of the younger generation, where her sprightly conversation made her ever a favorite. She was fond of outdoor life and was an excellent horsewoman and within six weeks of her death she rode her favorite pair of horses some distance herself.
Fond of Flowers.
During her lifetime Mrs. Tracy always surrounded herself with flowers and flowering plants, of which she was very fond. On each anniversary of her birth it was the custom of her family and friends to send her the rarest blossoms to be procured and her home at those times was a bower of fragrant bloom. Mrs. Tracy is mourned by a host of friends and will be missed by the entire community, to whom she was well known.
