 The agitator.: (Wellsborough, Tioga County, Pa.): June 10, 1863
In Middlebury, on the 3d inst., after the third attack of apoplexy, and an illness
of only three days, Betsey, wife of Aaron Niles, aged 65 years and 29 days. Mrs.
Niles had been twice married. Her first husband bore the name of J. M. Kilbourne.
She was born in 1798, in the town of Keene, N. H. She came into Northern
Pennsylvania, about 57 years ago, and on March 4, 1833, became connected by marriage
with 'Aaron Niles, of Niles Valley. She joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Wellsboro, about 38 years ago. Having settled in the town of Middlebury, she found
no Methodist Society within convenient distance, and therefore formed a connection
with a Baptist Society in that town, which society was then under the pastoral
supervision of Rev. James Coffin. About ten years ago she was attacked with
apoplexy. About five years later, she was again attacked with the same disease. She
became very infirm in consequence of these repeated strokes, so much so that it was
very difficult for her to move herself from one place to another in the room. She
received a third and final attack of the same malady, on Saturday, May 30, having
been prostrated by it upon the floor, while making her way to her bed at evening.
She remained in a semi-conscious state till Wednesday, June 3, when she died at 7
o’clock a. m. Her funeral took place at the Niles Valley school house, on Thursday,
June 4.
