N. Eliza Witter, wife of Deacon Orson M. Witter, died at her home in Wirt, Allegany Co., N. Y., Feb. 24, 1900.
Sister Witter, daughter of Deacon George W. and Lydia S. Allen, was born in Alfred, N. Y., Feb. 3, 1839. She was baptized by Elder N. V. Hull in her youth, and joined the First Alfred church. When she moved to Wirt, in March, 1867, she removed her membership to the Nile church, of which she was a faithful and honored member till called from us by death.
She was married to O. M. Witter on March 16, 1865. To them were born five children, four of whom died in infancy. Their daughter, Mabel E. Potter, who lives at Tampa, Fla., and their adopted son, George, who is in the West, were unable to be present at the funeral.
Among the relatives who attended the funeral were her brothers, Deacon J. G. Allen and Franklin Allen, of Alfred, and her sister, Mrs. Lydia Willard, of Little Genesee.
Mrs. Witter was gentle in her ways and quiet and cheerful in her disposition. Her life was full of love and trust, and gave evidence of her faith in God. She was dearly loved by those in her home, and will be greatly missed by all who have felt the blessed influence of her life. The bereaved husband and those who mourn with him have the comforting assurances of God's Word and the sympathy of many friends in this their sorrow.
