The following obituary is from the *Evening Times* of Little Falls, NY on 3 Aug 1875:
"Candace Salisbury Brockett, wife of Zenus Brockett, was born in Norway, Herkimer county, N.Y., October 19th, 1806, and died in Manheim July 27th, 1875.
"Nathaniel and Joanna Salisbury were the parents of nine children, who lived to years of maturity - one brother and eight sisters. Candace, the subject of this notice, was the fifth of these children, and is now the fourth one of them who has 'passed over the river to the beautiful shore.' She was married to Zenas Brockett on March 13, 1832, with whom she lived happily for more than forty-three years. Her life was that of a Christian, and she showed her faith by her works; for like Dorcas of old, 'she was full of good works and alms deeds which she did.' Her husband has been noted as a working Abolitionist and humanitarian for many years, and in these labors she cordially sympathized and united. Her life and virtues remain to survivors as an example for imitation, and to point to the far higher Great Example given for all to follow.
"The funeral services were held at Salisbury July 29th. Eld. Fisher, of Newport, gave an excellent discourse from the text: 'There was no more sea.' -Rev. 21:1. The text was applied as a metaphor, to the future life, in which there will be no more sea of troubles, afflictions, sorrows and unrest. A large gathering of relatives and friends gave evidence of their appreciation of the departed and sympathy with the family bereaved.
"A useful life has come to its fitting close - Such a life gives less occasion for mourning that it has ceased on earth than for rejoicing that it has entered into its eternal rest.
"'Joy, joy forever, her task is done, The gates are passed, and heaven is won.'"
