Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 21, 1885 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Richland - Our citizens were greatly shocked to hear of the death of Miss Bertha Stewart, of this place, at Pulaski last week. She was a most estimable young lady and our community in general greatly mourn her loss. Report says it was for the want of proper care. If that is so, it is an abomination in the sight of God and man.
Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, May 21, 1885 - Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - At Pulaski, May 12, Miss Bertha Stewart, aged 19 years. Bertha was born at Richland, where she has always lived with her parents, Delos and Harriet Stewart, until some weeks ago, when she went to Pulaski, where she remained with her sister, Mrs. Eugene Wyman, at whose home she departed this life on Tuesday last, of that dreadful disease, diphtheria. Mrs. Wyman was taken with the disease first, and for several days Bertha cared for her, doing all she could, until Friday, the 7th, when she was taken sick. It was not thought by her friends that she was dangerously ill until the very last. Bertha was of a very lovable disposition, and the life of all social gatherings where she was present. It can truly be said of her she had not an enemy on earth. Her untimely death, stricken down almost in perfect health, and on account of the malignant disease, buried immediately, without any of the friends seeing her, has cast a gloom over the whole community. Her friends and family have the sympathy of all in their sad pre-bereavement.
