In Memoriam, Amanda C. Purdy, wife of Oliver W. Purdy. Amanda C. Marvin was born in Tompkins county, N.Y., July 13, 1830, and died at her home in Featherstone, Jan. 17, 1899; age, 68 years, 6 months and 4 days. On Jan. 21, 1851, she was united in marriage to Oliver Purdy, who, with one daughter, remains to mourn. The family moved from Wisconsin to this state in 1876, and soon after settled on a farm in Featherstone, where success and prosperity attended their toil.
She was a woman of peculiar tact and grace; endowed as she was with a cheerful disposition, and a cultivated mind, she won the hearts of all whom she came in contact with. She had the rare gift of adapting herself to her surroundings and environments. With a company of children and youth, she was one of them, and would fully enter into their pleasures and enjoyments; with those who were weary and faltering in the conflict of every day life, her cheerful words and looks always gave courage strength and hope; with the sorrowing- and much there is all about us- she was the angel of mercy who, unasked would come into the stricken home, and with words and deeds of love, bring a ray of light and hope, to the afflicted ones. She was of strong religious disposition and dearly loved the house of God, and was in her place there, even after health had failed. She was one of those queenly characters well fitted to fill any position in the land, but her home was her throne, and right royally did she reign there. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. Cahoon, assisted by her former pastor, Rev. H.J. Harrington.
