Paulina Adgate was born in Liberty, Sullivan county, N.Y., January 16, 1814. In 1839 she removed with her family to this State, and settled in Otisco. As the country was new there were many privations and hardships to be borne. These were endured by the deceased with energy and will, which characterized her life. In 1830, or 1831, she gave her heart to the Saviour, and united with the M. E. church, of which she remained a worthy member until death. With her husband and family she had recently refitted and beautified her home. But ere this work was scarcely done, her Saviour called her to a home which He had been fitting up for her—“A home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.” File at: http://files.usgwarchives.net/mi/ionia/obits/b/benedict19061nob.txt This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.net/mifiles/ File size: 1.4 Kb
