The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, July 6, 1933


Frances C. Bishop passed away Sunday, July 2, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. 
Edward Dailey, after having failed noticeably the past few weeks.  She had 
attained the remarkable age of 90 years, having celebrated her 90th birthday 
just ten days previous.

Frances C. Harris was the daughter of James and Charlotte Harris and was born 
in Stowe, Vermont, in the year 1843.  She spent her early girlhood days in the 
rugged state of Vermont, forming there the depth of character to help her meet 
the battles of life.  From Vermont the family moved to the state of New York.  
Her early education began in that state and was completed in a college in 
Norwich, Connecticut.

She was married June 19, 1866 to Lucius B. Bishop at Ontario, Wayne Co., New 
York.  Three daughters were born to them, Mrs. Nellie Dailey, Mrs. Charlotte 
Goolthrite and Jessie B. Bishop, the latter passing away in 1931, also one 
grandson, Frank G. Dailey.  The family moved to Michigan in 1870 and since then 
have resided in this vicinity.

Mrs. Bishop was a great reader and into every gateway of her keen sense of 
perception there flowed many delightful impressions of the wonders existing in 
this world.  The kind and unusually sincere character of Mrs. Bishop endeared 
her to all who knew her.  She retained her unusual mentality and health in a 
great degree up until the last few weeks.

The funeral services were held at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Dailey, on 
Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock, Rev. E. M. Roush officiating, assisted by 
Rev. Robert Geiger.  The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the 
west side cemetery at Hubbardston.
