Children were: Alice Evelene COOPER . Nellie Louisa Watson was born in Moores, New York, June 27, 1869. Her parents were James Watson and Artmissa Wells. Before she married, Nellie was a school teacher, possibly in Moriah, New York, for she married Joel Columbus Titus there October 2, 1890, at the age of twenty-one. They lived in Moriah, probably at the Red House, where the first born, Edwin Robert, was born August 5, 1891. She was expecting her second son, Harold Watson Titus, when Edwin died. Nellie and her husband and second son, Harold Watson, moved to Mt. Vernon, New York, where Homer Eaton Titus was born December 23, 1898. City life apparently did not agree with Nellie, for she contracted tuberculosis. In those days not much was done for tuberculosis except for advising a change of climate. The family, subsequently, moved into tents on Titus Hill near Moriah for awhile. The change of climate, however, did not help and Nellie succumbed. -- Helen Garrison Titus Her sad little obituary printed in the Northern Christian Advocate, the magazine of the Methodist Book Concern, follows. Nellie Watson was born in Moores, New York, June 27, 1869. When but a child she was left motherless and was reared in the home of her loving grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Watson of Moriah, New York. At the age of sixteen years she was converted and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church of Moriah. She attended the Sherman Academy and afterward spent several years teaching. October 2, 1890 she was married to Joel C. Titus of Moriah Center. Their married life was a happy one and to them were born three boys: Edwin, the first born died in 1895, and the two younger ones are now left motherless in the world. During the winter of 1901, Mrs. Titus suffered an attack of the grippe from which she never fully recovered. The following summer was spent in the mountains, with discouraging results. In September she returned to her home in Pelham N.Y. with reasonable hopes of continued improvement. In the winter, however, she was again stricken, and soon went to Moriah where she spent three years in a fruitless effort to escape the cruel clutch of tuberculosis. The encroachment of the disease baffled all efforts and she gradually failed until death came, a glad release. Through lingering stages of the disease experience was distressing indeed. It was painful to see the flesh ... and life itself was a burden though everything was done which a devoted husband and kind friends could do to give relief and provide every possible comfort. During the last few weeks her suffering was intense, and yet through it all she exhibited a patience and Christian spirit that declared with force that God is a present help in time of need and that Jesus Christ is with His people even unto the end. One Tuesday morning, October 17th, she passed peacefully from the earth with the chill and frost of approaching winter to the world where "everlasting spring abides and never withering flowers." A few days before her death she called the little boys to her bedside, talked with them of heaven, of her going, and committed them to the care of a kind providence. She leaves her husband and two boys, Harold and Homer, a father, James Watson, and a stepmother of Saranac Lake, three brothers and a sister, besides numerous other relatives and friends to mourn her early demise. An aunt, Mrs. Diantha F. Walker, of Enosburg, Vermont, composed the following lines of sympathy and sent to the bereaved husband. Though intended for a letter only, they are worthy of a wider reading and of preservation in print: The last night of watching is over, The last words of love have been said, And safe on the bosom of Jesus Your companion has pillowed her head. Enfolded in arms everlasting, Her weakness and pains are all past, The pearly gates of the City of God In triumph she enters at last! The funeral was held at the home Thursday, October 19th. The casket was surrounded with beautiful flowers from friends in New York, Syracuse, Ogdensburg and Moriah. The services were conducted by Rev. S. B. Gregg, of Schaghticoke Hill, N. H., a former pastor, who had officiated at their marriage fifteen years before, assisted by Rev. E. L. Walker of Moriah who spoke very comfortingly and assuredly from Job 16:22.

Obituary Notice, November 1877 Reliance Webster, wife of Charles Houghton of Enosburgh, died on Tuesday, Nov. 6th, in the seventy-third year of her age. Her husband and herself were diring to North Cambridge, when, as they were approaching the residence of Mr. Dennis Sherman about two miles short of their destination, Mrs. H. suddenly and without uttering a word fell backward, partly over the carriage seat. Her husband immediately caught her withhis left arm and raised her up, and spoke to her, but she made no reply. Gasping once or twice she was dead before they could reach Mr. Sherman's house which was but a few rods away. Reaching the house she was carried in, and all possible means used to restore her from what was hoped to be but a fainting fit, but all to no purpose. Life was extinct and all the efforts of the kind by the family in the house to whicvh she had so stangely come with the help of others summoned to their aid, were therefore of no avail. An autopsy by Dr. Hutchinsons on Thursday, revealed hypertrophy of the heart, with calcincation of the valves as the cause of the sudden death. Mrs. Houghton was a faithful wife, an affectionate mother and an earnest Christian. Though she left no verbal last hopes, she did what is greatly better. She left the testimony of a faithful and earnest religious life. She leaves a husband, and a family of eight children, all grown to adult years. Her memory is precious. Her husband and children feel great obligation to Mr. Sherman and his family for their thoughtful and affectionate kindness on the day of her death and afterwards. Parents: Joel Columbus WEBSTER and Hannah BILLING. She was married to Charles HOUGHTON on Jan 28 1832 in Bakersfield, Vermont. (3) Children were: Dianthia Field HOUGHTON , Joel Webster HOUGHTON, Seymour Charles HOUGHTON, Arvilla Reliance HOUGHTON, Mary Jane HOUGHTON, Cynthia Pease HOUGHTON, Hannah Cordelia HOUGHTON, Lucy Maria HOUGHTON , Darius Erastus Titus HOUGHTON, Laura Etta HOUGHTON. Children were: Matthew. Obituary Article Mrs. Betsey Maria Webster Eaton, Widow of the Late Rev. Bennett Eaton Mrs. Betsey Maria Webster Eaton, widow of the late Rev. Bennett Eaton of the Troy Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, died Thursday night last at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lucy M. Titus, widow of the late Edwin Bristol Titus, at Moriah Centre, Essex County, N.Y., in the 92d year of her age. Deceased was born in Bakersfield, Vt., in 1809, being a descendant of John Webster, the Elizabethan playwright. Three children survive her--Rev. Dr. Joel Webster Eaton, Presiding Elder of the Plattsburgh District of the Troy Conference, Rev. Dr. Homer Eaton of the Methodist Book Concern, New York City, and Mrs. Lucy Maria Titus of Moriah Centre, with whom deceased had lived several years last past. The husband of deceased, the late Rev. Bennett Eaton, was a man of strong parts, mentally and morally. He was born Dec. 31, 1806, entered Conference in 1850 and died March 7, 1872, in the 66th year of his age. In the latter part of the 50s he served a faithful pastorate here in Elizabethtown, winning the undying love of the members of his denomination in this section and the respect and esteem of people generally. Much as he was loved and esteemed here, however, his amiable wife fell not short of him in the general estimation of all acquaintances. She invariably proved herself a willing and cheerful helpmate, no matter how discouraging and disheartening the surrounding circumstances. A useful, estimable lady in her prime, she lived a Christian life to extreme old age and finally, like a shock of corn fully ripe in its season, has been gathered into the everlasting garner. While Mrs. Eaton's sons have no children her daughter, Mrs. Titus, has been blessed with five--four sons and a daughter as follows: Bennett Eaton, of Syracuse, Edwin R., and Joel W., of New York City, Rev. Homer F., of Crown Point, and Mrs. Hugh Green of Melrose, Mass., all of whom were present at the funeral. Bennett Eaton Titus, who was born and reared in Moriah, Essex County, has for sometime been serving as editor of the Northern Christian Advocate, Syracuse, working heroically to take clouds off that journal. We are glad to be able to say that by dint of personal endeavor he has raised the Northern Christian Advocate up on to a paying basis and has lately purchased the paper, plant, etc., outright. The pages of this journal reflect the genius at the helm, a fact we note with due appreciation, since the editor and owner is a native of a neighboring town. Mrs. Eaton's funeral was held at her late home in Moriah Centre Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, Rev. J. G. Gooding of Port Henry officiating. The remains were taken to the Albany Rural cemetery for burial. Parents: Joel Columbus WEBSTER and Hannah BILLING. She was married to Bennett EATON on Jan 21 1830 in Enosburg, Vermont.(3) Children were: Joel Webster EATON, Homer EATON, Lucy Maria EATON. Children were: Brad Edwin WEBSTER.
