Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 5, 1889 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - At his residence on North street, Pulaski, New York, November 29, 1889, Addison A. Bentley, aged 64 years. He was born in Saratoga, came here while yet a lad with his parents to Sandy Creek, and later to Pulaski, where he has since resided. For years he was occupied as a builder, working with David Bennett, Albert H. Maltby and others, with headquarters at the planning mill now occupied by A. E. Moody. Married in 1844, his home has been continuously at the post, and for 44 years in the very house, where he died. Mr. Bentley was very different, but those who became intimately acquainted with him learned to value his excellencies of character and to trust him as a friend. For many years he was a constant attendant at the Baptist church, and had rendered long service as one of the Board of trustees of that church. Occasionally he overcame his great difference sufficiently to speak of his trust in Christ as his personal friend and Savior. He had been in failing health for several years and for some weeks had suffered much, yet his death seemed sudden and unexpected. A large circle of kindred remain to cherish his memory. Of his children, only a son survives, Mr. C. W. Bentley, of Adams. The loved wife remains to mourn his loss, amid her tears thanking God that she had health and strength to care for her husband in his time of weakness and suffering. Funeral services were held at the residence on North street on Monday, December 1st, and conducted by Pastor D. D. Owen, assisted by Rev. L. Muzzy. Many neighbors and friends gathered there to show their respect for the deceased and their sympathy for the bereaved.
