In Lincklaen, N. Y., Dec. 26th, 1865, Wid. Lucinda Main, aged 90 years and 8
days. Mother Main was a native of Connecticut; removed in early life with her
family to Chenango county, found their home among the hills of Lincklaen, where
she has since lived, and labored, and won many warm friends, by her kind and
generous nature. She was an active Christian, and if I mistake not, a member of
the Seventh-day Baptist Church of Lincklaen.
She retained her powers of mind and body unusually well, until within three
or four years; since when, she has been a child again, apparently lost, seeking
for her home; and I have no doubt she has found it with God in heaven. May her
mantle fall on her surviving children, and children's children, whom she lived
to see to the fourth generation.
'Mother, thou art gone to rest; And this shall be our prayer, That when we
reach our journey's end, Thy glory we shall share.'
