Mrs. Emily L. AGNEW, 78, wife of Daniel AGNEW, one of Rochester's most prominent society women for many years, died at 11:20 o'clock Sunday evening at her home on S. Main street, a victim of pneumonia. Mrs. Agnew had been in ill health for the past 15 years, having been partially invalided and confined to her home during the larger part of that period. Her condition became gradually weaker during recent months until she was stricken with the disease that ended her life.
Emily L. MILLER was born in Fulton county February 10, 1843, one of 12 children born to the late Judge Hugh and Mrs. Phoebe MILLER, pioneers of this section of the country. She received her education in this community, where she had lived all her life with the exception of one or two years and was united in marriage on February 25th, 1862 to Daniel Agnew.
To this union was born a son, Charlie [AGNEW], who died in infancy. Mrs. Agnew was always prominent in social, church and lodge enterprises in Rochester, and for a number of years held the post of Worthy Matron of the Rochester lodge O.E.S. She was also a member of the Presbyterian church. The husband and one brother, John MILLER, of this city survive.
Funeral services were held from the residence Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. H. Gerald GAIGE in charge. Burial at I.O.O.F. cemetery.
