Obituary from unnamed newspaper for Roxy Morse McConnell:
Roxy, widow of Joseph McConnell, who deceased at the same place in 1842, died at her own residence at McConnellsville, Oneida Co., N.Y., aged 76 years and 11 days.
Sister McConnell's maiden name was Roxy Morse. She was born Pittstown, Rensselaer Co., N.Y., July 9th, 1790. In childhood she moved to Floyd, Oneida Co., where, at the age of 15 years she experienced religion, and at the age of 18 married Joseph McConnell. In 1814 they moved to the place of their decease, where, at that time, the country was new, the inhabitants sparce, and Christians few. But sister McConnell with a few other faithful ones, was active in the cause of God, and many souls were converted. In all her efforts for the Church of her choice, she was both zealous and consistent, and her counsels good. Her life was a success, her death a (line of text unreadable) . . . even in the dying hour she had a great struggle of heart for its success. Surrounded by members of her loved family and Christian friends, she seemed at times to be on the verge of heaven; and though suffering exptreme pain of body, she would look back upon the past of her Christian experience, and the success of the Church, and then look forward with triumph over the last, and exhort these dear ones to meet her in heaven. She was conscious until the last, calling her loved children by name with the fondness of a dying mother, as they came to her dying bed. The high esteem cherished for sister Mcconnell, was manifest by the attendance at her funeral, of friends from far and near. So the righteous die, and so are they buried. C. Phillips.
McConnelsville, Aug. 20, 1866.
[Note: Roxy was the daughter of Moses and Margaret "Peggy" (Chase) Morse. She had at least 4 siblings: Eunice, Olive, Electa and William.]
