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.
