Mrs. Betsey A. Woodhouse, widow of Adelbert Woodhouse, a long-time resident of Oswego street and one of the thoroughly good women of the village, entered into final rest at 2:30 o'clock Friday morning after a long illness. Her death came at the home of her foster sister, Miss Martha Balcom, Washington street, who had given her devoted care since last October when the continued illness of Mrs. Woodhouse made it advisable to mover her to her sister's home.
Mrs. Woodhouse was a native of Fowler, N.Y., where she was born May 27, 1854, a daughter of the late George Balcom of Redfield and Betsey Jeffers Balcom. After the death of her mother which occurred when she was very young, she lived in the home of her uncle, Nelson Balcom, in Redfield.
Many years ago she came to this village to accept employment and later was married to Mr. Woodhouse. He died July 1, 1928.

Knapp and Mrs. Ernest Walker, with Mrs. Leona Hubbard at the organ. There were many nice floral tributes. Bearers were A. H. VandeWalker, M. Earl Eastham, A. J.
