"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 76, No 18, p 575, May 4, 1914.
Mrs. Pallas [sic] Hooker Dresser was born November 15, 1829, and died at her home in West Edmeston, N. Y., April 15, 1914, at the age of 84 years and 5 months.
Sister Dresser was married to Franklin E. Dresser October 24, 1852, and accepted Christ as her Savior the next year; but she did not make a public profession until four years later, when she was baptized by Eld. Libbeus M. Cottrell, after which, with her husband, she joined the Seventh Day Baptist church of West Edmeston, which for nearly fifty-seven years has received their most loyal support, until failing health and the infirmity of age to some extent checked their activity, but not their loyalty of heart to their church and to their God.
To them were born five children. One, Mrs. Alice A. Peet, preceded her mother to the spirit land. The four sons - Herbert and Claud of West Edmeston, Clarence of South Edmeston, and Edwin of Utica - have, with their wives and children, been left to comfort and care for her in her last days; and while they, with the aged husband and father, will sadly miss her, they will not so much mourn her passing as they will praise her memory, for all - relatives, friends and neighbors - join in saying that it was of such quiet and faithful lives that the Psalmist said, "They shall bring forth fruit in old age."
