Mrs. Stocking was the daughter of Justus Burke and Helen P. Doane. She was born near Schuyler Lake on April 13, 1849. Much of her early life was passed on the west shore of Otsego Lake, her father having had charge of the Maynard estate at what is now called Germain's Point. From the Maynard farm, her family moved to the Johnson place in Pierstown where they resided about a year after which they moved to the house in Fork Shop now occupied by Edwin Odell. From this place, she was married to Andrew J. Stocking about July 4, 1868. They started housekeeping in the Wm. Irish house near the trolley crossing at Fork Shop which property was purchased by them about three years later, and it has remained in her possession to the present day. Her family will continue to retain this house and lot as the Stocking homestead. In In this modest little home, Mrs. Stocking reared her six children, five of whom still survive her, Musa, the wife of Le Roy Barton, having died in New Lisbon on August 9, 1907. Mrs. Stocking was the tenderest and most devoted of mothers and no sacrifice was too great for her to make in behalf of her family. .....
Soon after the death of her husband May 14, 1909, Mrs. Stocking became an invalid, losing the use of her lower limbs from rheumatism and hardening. ...
At the time of her affliction, her children had grown up and entered upon their life's work which scattered them in various directions. For a few years, Mrs. Stocking maintained her old home.' But, when she saw. that this was likely to limit the chances of success of some of her family and made it difficult for them to continue their chosen vocation, much as she loved the old home, she willingly made the personal sacrifice of closing it. She then went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Hosea Wicks, where she remained till the time of her death except for occasional periods which she was able to pass at the old home with her boys and girls as they occasionally came there to spend brief vacations. .....
Mrs.-Stocking leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs. Horace Chase of Ilion and Mrs. Hosea Wicks of Lentsville; three sons, Fred and Lee of Cooperstown and Vaughn of West New York, N. J.; one brother, C. M. Burke of Fork Shop; one sister, Mrs. R. G. Fuller of Cooperstown Junction; seven grand children, two great grandchildren, besides scores of other relatives and friends who will lament their loss.
..... Interment was made in the family plot at Fly Creek Valley cemetery. By a happy coincidence, the family plot is almost 'in sight of the old homestead about a mile to the northwest.
