STILES, Caroline R., Obituary

Caroline R. Hayes was born in Jasper, Steuben county, N.Y., May 28, 1825, where she spent her girlhood days, taught school, and on February 14, 1850 was married to Anson Stiles, and settled on a farm in East Troupsburg, where they lived until his death, about ten years ago. She afterward made her home with her nephew, Collins Stiles, and spent some years with her foster son, Rev. Dr. D. C. Winship, in Nebraska. Her death occured at the home of William Stiles, at Cowanesque, Pa., June 7, 1907, where she had gone on a visit a few days before. She was converted at the age of sixteen years, and united with the Methodist Episcopal church of which she remained a faithful member until her death. She was well known by a large circle of friends, and is greatly missed by them. She was patient, kind and considerate, and, though very lonely after the death of her husband, kept a cheerful spirit, but looked wistfully forward to the time when she should rejoin the loved ones on the other side. The funeral services were held at the Chenango church at East Troupsburg, and conducted by the pastor, the Rev. John Brown, who gave a very impressive and appropriate sermon, after which her body was laid to rest by the side of her husband in the Chenango cemetery. D.C.W.
