OBITUARY
MRS. CHARLES F. CARY
Mrs. Charles F. Cary, a resident of Reidsville for 65 years, died at her son’s home in Voorheesville last Monday, Sept.11, of apoplexy. As Christina Alhoff, she was born in Germany 71 years ago, coming to this country when five years of age. When twenty, she married Mr. Cary, a Civil war soldier, just returned from the front. He belonged to Co. E., 7th New York heavy artillery, which saw much service. He was wounded in the face, which caused his death 27 years thereafter, some 24 years ago. Honor to the widows of the old soldiers and unstiated praise for the boys in blue, of which number Albany county sent her full quota.
Since her husband’s death in 1893, she has resided with her only son, Manly. With him she moved to Voorheesville last April. Besides him, she leaves two daughters, Mrs. David P. Warner of Slingerlands and Mrs. Emery Whitbeck of Hartford, Conn.
For more than 45 years she had been a member and one of the most efficient workers in the Christian church at Reidsville. Death came unexpectedly, but did not find her unprepared.
Her funeral services were held on Thursday morning, Rev. S. M. Adsit of the Voorheesville Presbyterian church officiating, assisted by Miss Etta Houck and Mrs. Peter V. Van Wesmer in singing tow selections dear to the deceased. Burial was in the family plot at Reidsville, Frank Brunk being funeral director.
