D. C., on November 7, were held at Lakeview Cemetery on Saturday last, Rev. Ralph Birdsall officiating. Mr. Lee was in his seventy-seventh year, and had all his life been identified with Cooperstown, being the son of Frederick A. Lee, who is still remembered by older residents as one of the foremost citizens of the village, who had much to do with its upbuilding. Of late years Frederick G. Lee passed only his summers here but was widely known for his genial and kindly disposition, and for his many acts of charity. Although for some time in failing health, his last illness was brief. While attending church in Washington a week ago Sunday, he was seized with an attack of fainting, and only occasionally regained consciousness up to the time of his death on the following Wednesday. It was fitting that his earthly life should have been brought to a close as it were in the act of worship, for he was a rarely devout and earnest Christian, living in the sure belief of immortality."
