After an illness of long duration, on Saturday night, Julia A., relict of the late John Wight of this town, passed to her final rest, aged 77 yrs. and 7 months. Her death occurred at the home of her daughters, Misses Nellie and Carrie Wight, on Mexico street, where she had resided for several years.
Mrs. Wight was born in Redfield and was a daughter of the late George and Eunice Perry, being the last of ten children. She lived Redfield until arriving at the age of womanhood, with the exception of a short time in Watertown, where she was engaged in school teaching. In Watertown about 46 years ago she was married to John Wight, and they settled on a farm in Redfield. In all she lived in that, town nearly forty years. From Redfield they moved on the farm near Florence Hill, now occupied by their son, John H. Wight. They occupied this farm until the infirmities of age obliged them to give up active labors, and nine years ago they moved to this village and took up their abode with their daughters. Two years ago last April the aged husband passed away, and since then Mrs. Wight has gradually failed.
In 1876 she became a member of the Congregational church of this village by letter, and has been a faithful and devoted attendant upon its services, and was a truly noble Christian woman. She had many friends all of whom deeply sympathize with the sorrowing children in their bereavement.
She is survived by two sons and two daughters, Charles M., and Misses Nellie A. and Carrie A. Wight of this village, and John H. Wight of this town. She also leaves one step son, C. D. Wight of Michigan.
The funeral was held from the late home on Mexico street, at 2:30 Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Edward Evans officiating
