Lucinda Ramsdell

Jefferson County Journal, Adams, NY, Tuesday, May 25, 1886

Mrs. Lucinda Ramsdell, relic of Abner L Ramsdell, of Ellisburg, NY, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Cordelia Bronson, May 21, 1886, after an illness of three hours, aged 79 years. Mrs Ramsdell was a lady highly esteemed and noted for her sterling qualities of mind and heart. During nearly all of her widowhood of thirteen years she has resided with her son, E F Ramsdell, Esq., of this village, frequently visiting her sons, Olney and Henry Ramsdell, of Ohio, and O H Ramsdell, of Binghamton, NY. Thus at a moment's warning has departed a tender and faithful friend, a devoted mother and a humble Christian, relying solely upon the merits of her Redeemer for an entrance to "that sweet rest and home" her soul has so longed for. Rest in peace, dear mother.
