PUNKSHIRE: Our peaceful little hamlet has again been visited by the grim messenger of Death. This time the call was answered by that blessed soul, and mother to all, MRS. UPHAM BLOOD, familiarly known as "GRANDMA" BLOOD.
She has been in her usual health, with the exception of her failing eyesight, until Monday, Mar. 13, when she was taken with a lung and throat difficulty. This grew rapidly worse until the following Thursday, when she gave up this world of toil and pain and went to join her God whom she devotedly loved. MRS BLOOD was 77 years, 7 months, and 21 days old. She was the daughter of JAMES FRANCIS, deceased. Her parents emigrated to this country in the early days, being old Vermonters. The deceased was born in the town of Java and is survived by four brothers: JOHN and HOSEA FRANCIS of Guthrie County, Iowa, JACKSON of Eaton County, Mich., and CHARLES of Java, N.Y.
She was married to UPHAM BLOOD December 31, 1848, and went to housekeeping in the town of Java in the settlement known as the Michegan (sic) district, where they resided for 21 years. Then they sold out and bought a large farm in the town of Arcade, where they lived and toiled together in peace and happiness until about 10 years ago when MR. BLOOD was called to the world beyond, where she has now gone to meet him. Since the death of her husband she has lived with her son EDGAR on the old homestead where she died. She was the mother of 4 children, of who 3 are living, SYLVESTER, the oldest, having died about 1 years ago. The others are MRS. SOPHRANA DAKE of Jamestown, N.Y., MRS DOLLY VAN VALKENBURG of Chaffee, and EDGAR of this place, whose home will be saddened by that vacant place at his friends fireside, which his mother had always filled. She was always very prudent and industrious, having helped to accumulate a handsome property which she not only seemed to but was always willing to share with others in their time of need, giving freely to those who were suffering. She has always been cheerfully received wherever she went among her friends, especially by her children, who have always taken great pains to care for and please her.
The funeral services were held at her late home on Sat., March 18, REV. SAYLES of East Aurora, officiating. The weather was very boisterous and inclement, but notwithstanding that fact, it was evidenced by the large number in attendance, that she was held in the highest esteem. The floral offerings were very beautiful and by their loving fragrance seemed to offer comfort to the bereaved. Everything in the way of medical aid and tender care, was given without stint, but God knoweth best whom to promote to His home on high. And although our community feels the loss of one whom we can safely say had not an enemy in the world, yet we feel that heaven has the gain. The sorrowing children and friends have the sympathy of all.
