MRS. FESSENDEN CALLED BY DEATH
Dorcas Moore Fessenden Fatally Injured in Motor Collision Near Cuba Last Sunday.
Following injuries received in a motor accident which occurred on Sunday afternoon, August 4, near Cuba, N. Y., Mrs. Clifford Fessenden passed away at the Cuba, N. Y. hospital early Wednesday morning. Friends on every side were shocked to hear of her sudden death.
Mrs. Dorcas Moore Fessenden was the daughter of the late William Moore and wife Mrs. Elva Weir Moore, and was born at the Moore homestead on the Portage on November 20, 1891. She was educated in the local schools and later took up the nursing profession at the
McGee Hospital in Ohio and the Cook County Hospital at Chicago. Upon graduation from the Chicago institution, she accepted a position at the Warren State Hospital, where she has held a splendid position for the past twenty-five years. She rose to an enviable height in her service to suffering mankind and will be remembered for her many excellent qualities.
She married Clifford Fessenden, son of Mr. and Mrs. N.D. Fessenden, on July 8, 1925. Lately the couple built a pretty new home just south of town on the Portage Rad and life promised much enoyment and contentment for the future.
Surviving are
- her mother, Mrs. Elva Weir Moore of Olean, N. Y., and several cousins,
- Mrs. Lottie McCloskey of Wrights,
- Jay Gallup and Gardner Coleman in the West, and
- Mrs. Vera Weir of Buffalo, NY.
All of her grandparents,
- Mr. and Mrs. Weir of Liberty and
- Mr. and Mrs. James K. Moore of the Portage,
were early pioneer settlers and have left a rich legacy of real worth and industry.
- Her father and
- a brother, James, preceded her in death. The latter was a valued employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad, who met with an accidental death while on duty several years ago.
The accident in which Mrs. Fessenden received her injuries occurred Sunday atternoon about twelve forty-five o'clock at an intersection of the Belfast-Belvidere road when they were struck by a truck owned by the Borden Milk Company of Belmont. The accident was caused, according to State Troopers N. H. Lippert and J. D. Fennell, when both drivers became confused.
Mr. Fessenden, who received lacerations of the face and body, was able to leave the hospital Wednesday and is recovering nicely, although he will need medical attention for some time.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the Presbyterian Church, with
- interment in the Lewis Hill cemetery-- Port Allegany Reporter.
