She was born in Ireland, March 12, 1805, and was at the time of her death, 94 years, 9 month and 28 days old. She seemingly enjoyed unusually good health until last Saturday, when she was suddenly stricken, her strength failing rapidly, and on Wednesday afternoon she fell asleep—in Jesus. Mrs. Follet was a devout Christian, having been converted a great many years ago, and was a member of the Wesleyan Methodist church for the last 25 or 30 years. She was married in 1830 to John Follett, who died in 1881. This union was blessed with six children, five of whom are still living. They together with the grandchildren and great grandchildren felt their loss keenly; especially is this the case with Mrs. Prosser and her daughter and children, at whose home she has resided for some time. But their loss is her eternal gain for, “Blessed are the dead who died in the Lord from henceforth, yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.” The funeral was held from the Evangelical church, Saturday at 10 a.m., Rev. Geo. Koehler preaching. Interment in White’s cemetery at Saranac.
