After a long illness, induced by attack of pneumonia fifteen months ago, Mrs. Margaret V. [(WILSON) BRACKETT COWGILL GOULD passed away Sunday morning at the age of 74 years and 9 months. She was born in New York state and came to Fulton county in 1842. Her maiden name was WILSON and she was married to Dr. Charles BRACKETT in 1851, who died in the army twelve years later, leaving her the care of five small children, viz: Lyman M. BRACKETT, Charles W. BRACKETT, Mrs. Louise HOLMAN, Mrs. Minnie PLANK, and Mrs. Rose WILLIAMS, the latter deceased. In 1869 Mrs. Brackett married E. E. COWGILL and to this union two children were born, viz: a son Harry [COWGILL], who died at the age of four years and a daughter, Edith [COWGILL], now Mrs. Frank E. BRYANT. Five years later the subject of this sketch was again left a widow by Mr. Cowgill's death and three years afterward she married Dr. Vernon GOULD who passed away two months ago.
Mrs. Gould was doubtless the most widely and popularly known woman in Rochester. She was active in charity and church work, in social and intellectual endeavor, and in all public spirited efforts that had to do with the welfare and progress of the city. She was liberal and charitable in her ideas of things general, and as mother, neighbor and friend her counsel was much sought and the brightness and goodness of her life was a source of inspiration to all who knew her.
The funeral will occur Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Frank Bryant, when Rev. O. P. MILES pastor of the church of which deceased was long a leading member will conduct the service.

Out of town relatives and friends here today to attend the Mrs. [Margaret] GOULD funeral were Mrs. Ella SPOHN, St. Louis, Don. C. PLANK and Mrs. McFADDIN of Chicago, and Chas. M. BRACKETT and daughters Mary and Bernice, Hedgewich.
The funeral of Mrs. Margaret Gould this afternoon, was a beautiful but modest affair. The floral offerings were profuse and rich, the music was by Miss Genette WARD, and the sermon by Dr. MILES was an eloquent eulogy on the beautiful and useful christian life of the deceased.
