The Telegram, Elmira, N.Y., Sunday, March 10, 1912:
Mrs. Harriet P. Rae, wife of James M. Rae, of No. 367 Pennsylvania avenue, passed peacefully into that slumber from which there is on awakening, at the family residence last Sunday in her eightieth years. The death of Mrs. Rae is an event which deserves more than a passing notice as she has been a resident of Elmira for more that fifty years, throughtout which she maintained her amiable and lovable Christian character that endeared her to many friends.
Mrs. Rae had been a great sufferer for several years with cardiac asthma and bronchitis. Her last illness had only been of a week’s duration, but an attack of passive pneumonia and a complication of diseases, was too great to be overcome by the untiring, devoted and loving care bestowed upon her by the bereaved husband, children and friends.
She was born of old Puritan stock, which came over on the Mayflower, and was justly proud of her ancestry. She was the youngest daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Jacobs, of Canandaigua, N. Y., have been born on February 4, 1833. Her mother, Mrs. Hannah Sanborn Jacobs whose parents were among the earliest settlers in the northern part of this state, west of Utica, had the distinction of being the first white child born in the settlement, where Canandaigua now stands. That section of the state was then thickly inhabited by Indians.
She was married to James M. Rae on March 12, 1860, coming to Elmira shortly after and had resided here ever since. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, Mrs. Nellie R. Lasley, of Elmira, and Mrs. Lida R. Manning, of Caywood, N. Y.; one son, James Nat. Rae, of New York, and five grandchildren. Mrs. Rae had always been a devoted wife and mother and although of late years not very active, a good and lovable Christian woman, who was greatly beloved by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
She approached her end without repining, having a firm trust in her heavenly Father and appreciating the goodness and favor which He continued up to her dying hour.
A prayer was offered at her late home last Tuesday afternoon, immediately after which the regular Episcopal service was conducted by the Rev. N. S. Boardman at Woodlawn chapel. Interment was in Woodlawn.
