Phebe Ann LaMoreaux

Notes:

MRS. PHOEBE WARDNER
On December 20th, 1928, after suffering a stroke of paralysis, from which she never rallied. Mrs. Phoebe A. Wardner passed from this life at the age of 80 years, 11 months and 4 days.
Phoebe Ann LaMoreaux was born January 16, 1847 on the Leonard (should be Lemuel) LaMoreaux farm near Valois. She was next to the youngest of seven children, of whom only two survive: a sister, Mrs. Hannah Ball; and a brother, W. H. LaMoreaux, both of whom reside at Valois.
Trained in one of the staunch Christian homes of earlier times, she began early in life her walk with the church in whose membership she died. On November 26th, 1874, she was united in marriage to William H. Wardner, son of a former pastor of the Valois Baptist church. To this union were born three daughters, two of whom are left to mourn the death of a loving mother: Mrs. Emmet Beckwith of Valois, and Mrs. Elmer Case of Townsendville; also two grandchildren, Sidney and Victor VanVleet.
Mrs. Wardner was by nature a real homemaker, faithful mother and wife, a kind sympathetic neighbor and ardent Christian, handing down to her children and grandchildren the Christian precepts and principles for which her ancestry and home stood.
The death of Sister Wardner marks the passing of another of those who stood for the highest and best in the church and community, and lessens the number who hold the tradition of the best early home life and parentage, a God given heritage?a golden sheaf, ripe for the Master's use.

Notes:

Mrs. Vesta W. Beckwith
The death of Mrs. Vesta W. Beckwith, 80, occurred on Thursday, Dec. 15, at Schuyler hospital. Although she had been a semi-invalid for several months, her last sickness was short.
Mrs. Beckwith was the eldest daughter of the late William and
Phebe LaMoreaux Wardner and was born on Oct. 10, 1875 on the farm east of North Hector, now Valois. Her younger years were spent on the farm. For the last 35 years she has lived in Valois. She united with the North Hector Baptist church 62 years ago. When health permitted, she had been a regular attendant at the Community church and the Ladies' Guild meetings. She was also a faithful member of North Hector Grange and was serving as its chaplain at the time of her death.
Mrs. Beckwith loved the church and its activities and the grange.
She will be greatly missed in all of these as well as in the community and in the home. A true Christian woman has gone to her reward, and will receive that welcome, "well done!"
She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Julia Case at home, two nephews, Sidney Van Vleet of Montour Falls, and Victor Van Vleet Sr. of Willard; and several cousins.
Funeral services were largely attended on Sunday afternoon from
the Valois Community church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Harry P. Dunlap. Interment was made in Seneca Union cemetery, Valois.
Bearers were six cousins, Lynn LaMoreaux, Elmo LaMoreaux, Delbert
Foote, James Hazlitt, Francis Foote and Francis Marsh. ?A.S
