Mrs. Merton Locke
"Mernie Smith Locke, oldest daughter of A. E. and
Emma Groff Smith, was born at McKinstry Hollow, town of Yorkshire,
on June 14, 1896, and died in Buffalo on April 16, 1923.
Her life was spent at McKinstry and Delevan at which places she
received her education; graduating from the Delevan high school in
June, 1914, and from the Teachers Training Class in 1915.
Since that time she has been engaged in teaching, having taught for
the past 2 1/2 years in the 5th and 6th grades of the Delevan High
School.
On July 12, 1922, she was united in marriage at Hamburg to Merton
Locke of Delevan. Her funeral was held on April 19th at the
home of her parents at McKinstry, Rev. J. Segwalt of the Delevan M.
E. Church officiating; reading for their comfort the 23rd Ps. and
the 14th chapter of John and preaching from a few selected words.
Ruth Cutting and Mrs. Ray Canfield sweetly sang "Beckoning Hands"
and "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."
Friends from far and near come to sympathize with the bereaved
family; and the profusion of beautiful flowers wreathed about her
told how she was loved by all who knew her.
The faculty of the Delevan high school attended the funeral in a
body and the pupils whom she taught gathered around the grave to bid
their teacher the last goodnight.
She leaves her husband, father, mother, one brother, Merton and one
sister, Millon Smith besides many other relatives and friends to
mourn their loss.
Lonely is our home today
For one we loved has passed away.
No one knows how much we miss her.
No one knows what bitter paid
We have suffered since we lost her.
Home can never be the same."

that made a large place for all with whom he associated. A cherry

There is no death, the starts go down
To rise upon some other shore
And bright in heaven's jeweled crown,
To shine forever more.

Mrs. Mary E. Thompsett
"Mrs. Mary E. Thompsett, wife of Robert W. Thompsett,
president of the village of Delevan, died on Monday evening, June
6th, 1921, after a lingering and painful illness, which she bore
with great fortitude and submission. For more than a week preceding
her departure those who were near and dear to her went in and out in
the presence of death angel till her soul left the disease-racked
boy for the spirit world.
She was born in Rahway, N. J., on July 1, 1860, and at the time of
her death was nearly sixty-one years old. Her people moved to
Buffalo when she was a tiny girl, then to East Aurora, where they
remained two years, and finally, when she was sixteen, settled at
Yorkshire Corners, N. Y.
On July 1, 1879, she was married to Robert W. Thompsett of Delevan,
where she has since resided. The deceased is survived by her
husband, their two sons, Robert R. and Glenn W. of Delevan; one
sister, Mrs. Ada Furman of Warsaw, two brothers, Charles H. Fields
on Warsaw, and George Fields on Alaska, and one grandson, Robert E.,
three years and eight months old, of whom she was exceedingly fond.
She was converted to God thirty-seven years ago, during the
pastorate of Thomas S. Green, and became identified with the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Delevan, of which she was a member at
the time of her death.
She was a very conscientious woman and has very positive
convictions concerning right and wrong. She was an artist of
considerable ability and the home contains many beautiful paintings
reminding those who are left of the way in which many of her spare
moments were occupied. She was a devoted wife and mother, full of
the homely duties that come to all housekeepers and home-makers. She
has gone to her reward and her works do follow her.
The funeral was held at the home on Thursday afternoon at 1:30. The
service was in charge of her pastor, Rev. John Segwalt, whose
remarks were based on Rev. XXI, 4, 'God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes.' The remains were laid to rest in Maplewood
Cemetery, Delevan, N. Y.
Those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Fields, Mrs. Ada Firman, Floyd Firman, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Firman, Roy Firman and Miss Ada Firman of Warsaw, Mr. and Mrs. Dana
Shedd, Dr. D. B. Shedd, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Benard, Bernice Benard and
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Meyers, of Arcade; Mrs. Francis Fallen, of Bliss,
Mrs. Geo. Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fields and Mrs. A. Bauss, of
Buffalo; Mrs. G. Chilcott, of Orchard Park; Mr. and Mrs. S. J.
Waterman, of Attica; Mrs. A. Bull, of Sandusky; Mr. and Mrs. Alfred
Edwards, of Erie, Pa., and Mr. and Mrs. James Edwards of Gowanda."
Mr. and Mrs. Z. B.

any of them."
