MRS. MARY R. SILSBY
Member of One of Seneca Falls's Oldest Families Dies in Rochester
Seneca Falls, Oct. 30 - Mrs. Mary R. SILBY died yesterday in Rochester
at the age of 72 years. Mrs. SILSBY was for many years a resident of
Seneca Falls and was a member of a family that had much to do with
establishing Seneca Falls as a manufacturing center. Mrs. SILSBY's
husband, the late Horace SILSBY conducted the business established by
his father here for a number of years until failing health forced his
retirement. The SILSBY works turned out fire lighting equipment that is
now in use in all parts of the world and the SILSBY fire engines for
years were known to fire departments everywhere.
Mrs. SILSBY was always greatly interested in
literature and during recent years has derived much satisfaction and
pleasure from her writings. She, with a few friends, organized the
Shakespeare Society of Seneca Falls in December, 1882, the first
Shakespeare organization in the country composed exclusively of women.
She continued during her residence here to act as president of the club
and later as honorary president. As an authority upon Shakespeare, she
was widely recognized. She published a number of years ago a booklet
dealing with the Baconian theory at a time which the controversy
was attracting quite general attention. The booklet went through several editions.
Mrs. SILSBY's remains will be brought here from
Rochester to-morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and taken to Trinity Episcopal
Church from where the funeral will be held at 3 o'clock. Rev. Dr.
William Bours(?) CLARKE, rector of the church, will conduct the service.
Mrs. SILSBY leaves one son, Horace SILSBY, of New York city, and two
daughters, Mrs. Eleanor HART, of Rochester, and Mrs. Emma Veta FEECK, of
Syracuse.

IN MEMORIAM
EISEMAN - In loving memory of Mary M. EISEMAN, who departed this life
October 31, 1915.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down,
Thy head upon my breast.
Husband and Daughter
RENDSLAND - In sad, but loving remembrance of our dear husband and
father, Nicholas J. RENDSLAND, who entered into rest one year ago,
October 31, 1915. Gone but not forgotten.
Sad and sudden was the call,
For our dear husband and father, loved by all;
We little thought that on that day,
That he would so suddenly be called away.
Emily N. COOPER RENDSLAND and Children.
YEISLEY - In loving memory of our baby, Curtis Wey YEISLEY, who died
October 31, 1915.
We loved him, yes, no tongue can tell,
How much we loved him, or how well;
God loved him too and He thought best,
To take him home with Him to rest.
Mother and Sister.
