MRS. MARY SILVERWOOD DIES
--------------------------
Aged Kingston Woman Succumbs to First Serious Illness She Had Ever Sufferd
--------------------------
Mrs. Mary A. Silverwood, aged 80 years and 2 months, died yesterday morning at 3 o'clock at her home on College avenue, Kingston, after a week's illness of congestion of the lungs. Until this, her 1st illness, Mrs. Silverwood had scarcely ever known a day of sickness.
She was born in Upper Mount Bethel, Northampton County, March 2, 1835, and was married Feb. 17, 1864, to William Silverwood, a native of Sheffield County, England, who died May 14, 1872. She is survived by two sons: William, at home, and Frank, of Philadelphia; and also by two sisters, Mrs. George Reith, Carverton, and Mrs. John Remaley of Forty Fort, and also by one brother, John A. Labar, of Moosic.
In the fullness of years, when there is a looking backward instead of a looking forward, when the long pathway has been trod, the happiest consolation is that life has been well spent. Mrs. Silverwood had this consolation in her declining years. In her family relations she measured up to the highest standard of wifehood and motherhood. Her home and those who were in it were her deepest concern, and by teaching and by example she impressed her own fine character upon those about her. The manner in which she discharged her responsibilities illustrated beautifully the idea that the home must be the nursery of those influences that work for the betterment of the coming generation. Hers was the kind of home in which love and confidence and good counsel prevailed. What better can be said of any life?
