The Carson City Gazette, Fridays, November 20, 1914
Angeline Townsend was born November 10, 1833 at Antwerp, Jefferson Co., N.Y., 
and died at her home near Hubbardston, November 12, 1914 having just completed 
her 81st year.  She united with the Methodist church when fourteen years of 
age, promising the Master at the time of her conversion to speak a word for 
Jesus whenever opportunity offered—a promise faithfully kept as many will 
remember.

She was married February 18, 1852 to Orrin Goolthrite.  Three children were 
born to them, two of whom, Myron C. Goolthrite and Mrs. Susan Lattimer, are 
still living.  One brother, O. C. Townsend, and one sister, Mrs. Amy Gage, 
with numerous more distant relatives also survive her.

She was one of the pioneer women and through nearly her whole life, 
exceptionally strong and vigorous.  Few were more helpful in church and 
community.  All the care of her daughter and the kindness of friends as old 
age brought feeble steps and failing sight, could not equal what she had done 
for others.  May many like her live to bless the world.

Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in Hubbardston, Saturday, 
November 14th at 2 o’clock, conducted by Rev. H. V. Wade, assisted by Rev. E. 
C. Dixon, and interment made in the Hubbardston cemetery.
