Mary Lucretia Toby

Obituaries from http://smdlocalhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/12/obituaries-december...

We are greatly shocked and grieved to learn of the sudden death of Mrs. U.C. Toby, which occurred this (Thursday) morning. Mr. Toby arose as usual and without the least idea that all was not well with Mrs. Toby, went out to do his morning chores. On returning, he found the Mrs. Toby had not come down stairs and so went up to see her, finding that she had commenced dressing and then fallen or thrown herself across the bed and expired. Dr. Jacobs was in immediate attendance and pronounced that death had occurred at least 30 minutes before Mr. Toby found her. It is difficult to estimate the loss that Mr. Toby's death will mean to her many friends. The funeral service will be held Sunday afternoon from the Presbyterian Church at 2 o'clock.

Mary L. Humphrey, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Humphrey, was born in the town of Guilford, N.Y [Chenango Co.]., Feb. 22nd 1863, but two years later came with her parents to the town of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] in which the remainder of her life was lived. Dec. 4th, 1881 she united with the Presbyterian Church of Bainbridge. On the 15th of Feb. 1893 she was married to Mr. Uriah C. Toby. Last Thursday morning, Feb. 9th, 1922, without a moment's illness or intimation she passed from this life to the life to come. Se is survived by her husband, a sister, Mrs. John Toby of Bainbridge, three brothers, Mr. Frank Y. Humphrey of Bainbridge, Mr. Isaac Humphrey of Seattle, and Mr. Hubert Humphrey of Binghamton, and a host of relatives and friends. Such is the biographical outline of a life of singular beauty. Aside from a year near the beginning of their married life when she and Mr. Toby travelled in California, they had lived near or in the village of Bainbridge and she was one of its best known residents. While for 41 years an active and loyal worker in the Presbyterian Church, yet her friendships were as broad as the community which is the poorer because of her going, and yet richer in its memories of her gracious home life and her kindly spirit. After prayers at her late residence the funeral service was held in the Presbyterian Church, Sunday, Feb. 12th, at 2:00 p.m., her pastor, the Rev. Chas. G. Cady, officiating. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, the Rebecca Lodge of which she had been a member attended in a body, while the friends who came to pay her honor filled the church to overflowing. Interment was in Green Lawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY] on the hillside above her beloved village. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 16, 1922]
