Daughter of Dr. Gervis Prince. wife of Elliott Danforth.
It was with sadness that the news of the death in New York city of Mrs. Ida Danforth, wife of Elliot Danforth, was received here Tuesday afternoon. It was known that she was very ill, but that she was in a critical condition was not generally believed. All in this vicinity who knew her grieve, as she was one whom all loved and respected, and the ideal type of a true Christian woman, and a devoted wife and mother. She was a daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Gervis Prince and removed to Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] when a young girl, and had always resided in this town until her marriage to Elliot Danforth, then a rising young lawyer of Middleburg, in 1874. Since her marriage she has lived here part of the time up to two years ago, when they moved to New York. Deceased was 42 years of age, a member of the Presbyterian church of this place and one of its active workers. A husband, son, daughter and aged mother survive her. The remains will arrive here on train No. 7 and the funeral will be held in the Presbyterian church at 2 o'clock, today. Rev. Dr. Grummon, a former pastor, will officiate. Interment in Greenlawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY]. Danforth Hose Co., of which Mr. Danforth was the organizer and an honorary member, will attend in a body in respect of the bereaved husband. [1895]
The remains of Mrs. Ida Danforth arrived here [Bainbridge, NY] last Thursday afternoon at 1:45, and were taken directly to the Presbyterian church for the last sad rites. The church was crowded with sympathizing friends who had gathered to pay a tribute to a noble woman, and to one who was a friend of all she knew. A quartette composed of Mrs. W. Evans, M. Dell Fletcher, Don A. Gilbert, and Geo. A. Ives, sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul," Rev. Mr. Gummon read a short passage from Scripture. "Asleep in Jesus" was rendered by the choir, and Rev. Grummon gave more of a talk than a sermon. He spoke in a touching and eloquent manner of the one who had just passed away. It was very appropriate that he should administer this last rite, as he had not only been her pastor for years but was pastor of the church when she united with it, and had performed the ceremony at her marriage. The quartette sang, "Gone Dearly Beloved," the people viewed the loved one for the last time, the procession formed and wended its way to Green Lawn cemetery where the interment was made. J.M. Roberts, John Banks, Duncan Copley, Dr. Spencer, A.L. Palmer, and W.B. Matterson acted as pall bearers. [1895]
