News clipping without date or newspaper title:
Enoch Mabey of Cairo died at his residence on Monday, November 7th, in the 86th year of his age: and on the Sabbath following, at about the same hour of the day, Mary Avery, wife of Enoch Mabey, departed this life, in trhe 82nd year of her age. This venerable couple, who in the good providence of God had been permitted to pass the 65th aniverary of their marriage, were born in Westerlo, Albany County, in which they resided until about seven years ago, where they removed to Albany, from thence removing to Cairo. They were the parents of five children, of whom but two survive, one a minister of the Gospel, residing in Nebraska, the other a widowed daughter who lived with her parents, but who was so prostrated with illness on the day of father's death as to be unable to attend the funeral of either. Add to this the fact that the daughter had a daughter lying sick in New York, and we can see that it was truly a greatly afflicted family. Mr. M. was buried at South Westerlo, from the church in that place on the 9th inst. and his wife one week from that day. The writer well remembers Mrs. M. frequently remarking while her husband was dying "It is hard to part". But they were not parted long, for the great shock of his death induced an attack of heart disease, and she survived him but six days! We shall miss the dear sunny-hearted old gentleman and lady, who could make themselves companionable alike to old person or the tiny child. Mr. and Mrs. M. were consistent members the the Baptist Church, and we hope they have exchanged the Church Militant for the Church Triumphant.
