Thanks to Find-a-Grave Member # 47990888 for finding and posting her obituary!
Date of birth is calculated from information in the Town's records, which indicate she was 82 years, 9 months, 18 days, old at the time of her death. Because of inherent issues with calculated dates, only her year of birth is shown here.
Source records give two different places of birth for her: USA, NY, St Lawrence County, and USA, VT, Addison, Addison. It was initially believed that Addison was more likely to be correct. However, her place of birth has been changed to reflect information in her obituary.
The Town's records indicate Polly was buried in Wilson. Her obituary confirms she was buried in Greenwood. Because Polly died before the oldest extant burial records for Greenwood begin in 1891, and no marker for her has been found, it is not possible to say with complete certainty where in Greenwood she is buried. However, her husband, Waterman Adams, is shown on Greenwood lot ownership maps as the owner of Section B, Lot 11, and is shown through burial records to have been buried on that lot. Waterman's is the only burial on this lot for which there are records. However, it is highly probable that Polly is also buried on this lot.
If you have information indicating that Polly is buried elsewhere in Greenwood, please contact the manager of this memorial. Thank you!
