George Washington Kuney

From the Adrian Daily Telegram, July 31, 1884:

"George Washington Kuney, whose illness and expected death were noticed
in the TIMES of Tuesday, died at his residence in the town of Palmyra,
near Blissfield, yesterday afternoon, at six o'clock.

Deceased was born in Fayette, Seneca County, New York, settling in the
township of Medina, this county. He afterwards lived in Dover, from whence
he moved one year ago last spring to the farm where he died. He has been
confined to the house most of the time for the past year, the last time
he went out being on the 18th inst., when he was taken, at his own request,
and with considerable difficulty, to the cemetery at Blissfield to view
the spot were he expected to soon to be laid. His disease was consumption,
from which he was a great, but patient sufferer. Though he had never made
any profession, his dealings with his fellow man had been such that he
was enabled to repeatedly assure his family and friends that death had
no terrors for him, that he was ready and willing to die, and preferred
the peace of the grave to his sufferings here. He was married thirty years
ago to Miss Charlotte Backman a playmate of his childhood, by whom he had
four children (perhaps children living at the time of his death), three
boys, and one girl, all grown up and married expect one, and all of whom
with the devoted wife and mother were present during his last illness and
at the time of his death.

The funeral will be held at the house tomorrow (Friday) morning at ten
o'clock a.m."
