MRS. GEO. SWANSON
Mrs. Ann widow of the late George Swanson, died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. James
Grinnell, on Dunbar street, Friday afternoon, in the 65th year of her age. Mrs. Swanson had
been an invalid for many years, seven years confined to the house, and for the last two or
three years bed-ridden and perfectly helpless. During this time she has been faithfully
cared for and ministered to by a most dutiful and loving daughter. She was a cheerful and
patient sufferer, and until within a few days of her death retained her mental faculities.
For 22 years she was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, and her trust in her
God sustained her through the years of special suffering and trial which have been her lot,
and those who knew and loved her best can only rejoice, while they mourn, that she has gone
to rest. Beside her daughter she leaves four sons, Frank of this place, Dr. J. W. of
Springfield, Otsego county, Geo. W., employed on the West Shore railroad, and Alexander of
Bradford, Pa. Three brothers and a sister, Geo. H. Wilson of Taberg, William and John Wilson
of Indiana and Mrs. Geo. Mooore of Syracuse, also survive. The funeral was held at the
residence at 2 p.m. Sunday, conducted by Rev. Jabez Ford, and the long procession which
followed the body to the grave attested the esteem in which deceased was held in the community.
SWANSON - In Camden, N.Y., February 13, 1891, Anne, relict of the late George Swanson, aged 64 years.
