The Rochester Sentinel
Saturday, September 18, 1880

At about 9 o'clock on Thursday evening it was reported on the streets that 
Mrs. [Nannie M. RANNELLS] GOULD, wife of Dr. V. GOULD, had passed from earth 
away. Her death was not unexpected. For a year or more she had been afflicted 
with a life-destroying cancer, that finally claimed her for its victim. A few 
months ago Dr. FITCH, of Logansport, removed it by the use of a knife but the 
fangs remained and took deeper root and since then it had grown to 
considerable proportions and with death staring her in the face she resolved 
to have it removed again. The operation was performed on Thursday and in her 
exhausted condition she never rallied but died at the time stated. Mrs. Gould 
was one of Rochester's most prominent ladies and her loss will be deeply felt 
by her many friends. Our reporter upon whom we depended to furnish us with 
matters of interest in relation to her life, death and hour of burial, has 
sadly disappointed us, but we are reliably informed that her funeral will take 
place tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock. Where the services will be held is 
more than we have been able to learn.

Saturday, September 25, 1880

Mrs. Nannie M. wife of Dr. Vernon GOULD, departed this life Sept. 16th, 1880 - 
near the close of her 46th year.
Her maiden name was RANNELLS. Her birth place was Urbana, O. Her father's 
family consisted of three sons and four daughters. Of the family, father, 
mother, and the four daughters have died.
Nannie M. Rannells was united in marriage with Dr. Vernon Gould, Jun 6th, 
1876, and immediately came to Rochester to live. During her stay here she made 
many friends by her lively disposition, kindness of heart, and readiness to 
assist in any good work. Very early in life she became a member of the Buck 
Creek, Presbyterian church near Urbana, O., where her devotion to the church 
and the cause of Christ was very marked and when Rochester became her 
residence she brought the same elements of christian character into the church 
of this place. She was exemplary in her deportment and willing in the service 
of her Master. During the last two years of her life, bodily affliction 
prevented that degree of usefulness which otherwise would have been expected 
of her. Her interest in the support of the church, the Sabbath School and the 
Missionary Society, showed the faith which works by love unto precious 
results. In her last sickness she exemplified the sustaining grace of God, and 
on Thursday evening as the church bell ceased ringing for prayer meeting 
service, which service it was her custom to attend, the bells of heaven rang 
for the entrance of a redeemed soul - using the liberty of speech to which the 
renowned Milton gave utterance.
At 3 o'clock p.m., Sabbath, September 19th, a large concourse of relatives and 
friends assembled at the family residence to attend the funeral service and to 
pay the last tribute of respect to the memory of one so much loved. The choir 
sang a beautiful funeral anthem after which services were conducted by the 
pastor of the deceased, assisted by Rev. N. L. LORD.
The respect shown to the mortal remains is indicative of the high estimate 
placed upon her character while living among us. The remains were laid to rest 
beside those of other dear friends in the Odd Fellows cemetery.
"There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."
