Mrs. Gladwin Passed Away

Again the Grim Reaper, Death, has entered our midst and claimed one of our oldest and most highly esteemed residents and friends, Mrs. Maria Reed Gladwin.

While the passing away of this aged lady was not unexpected, it was no less mourned. For some time she has been failing and when ten days ago she suffered a paralytic stroke, it was hardly thought that she could survive and medical skill and tender care were administered, but it was God's will, and on Monday morning, Oct. 5th, she quietly passed on.

Mrs. Gladwin was born in Haddon, Conn., Nov. 20, 1834, being in her 80th year at the time of her death.

On October 1, 1885, she was married to the late Stephen N. Gladwin, and is survived by three children -- Mr. R. R. Gladwin, of Fort Pierce; Miss Susie T. Gladwin, of Titusville, and Mr. R. D. Gladwin, of New York City.

Mrs. Gladwin came to Titusville in 1890 with her husband, who passed to the great beyond some five years ago, and has been a familiar figure here, always upholding the higher and better things of life, and ever ready of fill her place in the walks of life. She was a lady of education and refinement, and to be in her company was deemed a pleasure by all who knew her. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city, and an active member of the Ladies' Aid Society, despite her advanced years, and among the ladies of this little band she will be mourned and greatly missed.

The funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock, from the family residence on Julia Street, conducted by Rev. H. E. Koonce, pastor of the Titusville Presbyterian church, in the presence of many friends and old neighbors, who came to pay a tribute of respect to one they admired.

Rev. Koonce' remarks were comforting and appropriate, and reminded you of the certainty of death. Mrs. Koonce sang as a solo, "Abide With Me," and touched a chord of tenderness in every heart with her sweet, low voice.

The remains were then taken to the Titusville cemetery for interment, and while a gentle rain descended, the body was consigned to the grave, there to await the resurrection morn.

The pall bearers were: Mrs. Chas. A. Gardner, G. F. Duren, Harry Wilson, James Mitchell, Geo. Schnierle and Fred Whitehead.

Andrew Froscher & Son were in charge of the funeral arrangements.

The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful. One large cross of white roses with asparagus and maiden hair fern, was exceedingly pretty, and was sent by the Aid Society of the Presbyterian church.

To the three children who are left to mourn the loss of a mother, we extend our heart felt sympathy.
