HOLMES - In this city, at her home, 11 E. Genesee st., June 13, 1893, Charlotte A., wife of the late Wm. Holmes.
Friday morning June 16, 1893, at St. John's church, occurred the funeral of Mrs. Charlotte A. Holmes. The services, conducted by the rector, the Rev. C. N. C. Brown, were very impressive and largely attended. At the interment in North st. cemetery only the near relatives were present and the full committal service of the Episcopal church was used.
Charlotte Arne was born in the village of Wolcott, in this State. Her father, Dr. David Arne, was a man of wealth and widely known for his great force of character intelligence and extreme rectitude. Her mother, whose maiden name was Polly Munroe, belonged to the most respected and influential families in Central New York. The deceased seemed to inherit in an unusual degree the inspired characteristics of both parents. She possessed a brilliant mind which was cultivated with care under the judicious guidance of parents well suited for the task. She was given the best advantages of the times, which she conscientiously improved. While she was still quite young the family removed to this city and became identified with the Second Presbyterian church, in which she was an active worker for many years. She was married early to Elder William Holmes of the same church, then one of the foremost citizens of Auburn, and known throughout the country through his extensive business relations and connection with the institution of free masonry, of which he was a bold and powerful champion during the dark days when it required faith, courage and means to uphold the cause. A few years of married life, almost without a cloud, as full of sunshine as it is given managed to know, were brought to an end by the death of him whose loss she never ceased to mourn. To the day of her death the memory of his wishes guided her and her interest in whatever had been of interest to him never failed. Her devotion to her children was complete; their good and comfort her constant thought.
Her charity was so great that to neglect, ingratitude or deception could shake her faith in God or cause her loss of confidence in mankind. Her heart was so full of love that no faint of envy, hatred or malice could touch it. Children were her special delight and she would seldom pass one of the streets without a pleasant word, while nothing would grieve here more than to see the aged neglected or treated with disrespect. The poor were her friends, and no one in trouble or necessity ever appeased to her without receiving the comfort of her sympathy and aid to the full extent of her power.
Though compelled for some years to live somewhat retired, she retained a keen interest in the affairs of life. She kept herself posted regarding the movements of the times, especially those affecting moral and religious conditions, so thoroughly that in conversing with her one could scarcely believe that she was taking no active part in them.
At one o'clock in the morning of June 13th, she passed away. Without a struggle or a sigh the perfected spirit returned to its God, leaving the memory of a blameless life and a character so complete that even those most familiar with her (---) over its weakness.
Wednesday morning representatives of St. Paul's (---), F. & A. M., bore the body to its resting place beside him for whom they had, many years before, performed the same pious office, and while words of comfort for the (---) prayers of thanksgiving to God for his great goodness, and the sure presence of Him who cannot be, were being uttered, the mortal remains of her with had so long been a comfort and example to all who knew her were laid to rest.
In her perfect faith she had had no fear for the future, but she had often expressed a dread lest the last struggle should be accompanied with pain and suffering, but God was merciful to His servant who had so patiently and earnestly sought to do his will, and she sank to rest as peacefully as a (---) child in its mother's arms.
Many hearts are sore at the loss of a faithful friend, but memories of her are sweet.
Many there are to speak of her (---) self sacrificing life that she has gone to her sure reward.
Her life was a constant exercise of Christian graces and her death a triumph of the Christian's faith.
