The Obituary of Mary E. Bullard Withington 17 September 1837 - 17 September 1906 From the Springwater Index, September 1906 Springwater - On Monday, Sept. 17th, at the family residence on Main street, Springwater, Mrs. Mary E., wife of Albert M. Withington, passed from this earthly life to her final reward. For some time she had been in falling health, but her death was unexpected. She was born at Moira, St. Lawrence county, NY, Sept. 17th, 1837, where her parents, Nathan and Lucy Bullard then resided. When she was twelve years of age she came with her parents to Springwater and ever since that time has resided here. In the 21st year of her age, Jan. 31st, 1858, she was united in marriage to Mr. Withington, and the home they made together was unusually bright and happy. She was a devoted affectionate wife, a most inspiring helpmate to her husband. Her self sacrificing love for her children was rare. The law of kindness ruled in her household and she was kind to everyone and everybody loved her. Very early in life she confessed her faith in Christ and joined the church, and ever since manifested great love for the church, giving and working for its support and upbuilding; and to the last. Whenever health permitted, she attended the various services of the church, as a dear privilege. She lived a life remarkably pure and unselfish. Fulll of cheer and helpfulness she was continually and everywhere scattering sunshine. She was an example in her home and outside it. By her gentle yet strong influence she helped people to be pure and good and kind. Trusting in Christ as her Saviour she came to the close of this earthly life with calmness and peace. The funeral services took place from the family residence and were conducted by the Rev. Charles P. Coit, D. D., the minister of the Presbyterian church. By a singular coincidence the day of burial, Sept. 19th, was the sixty-ninth anniversary of her birth. The body was lowered to its rest amid flowers on the beautiful slope of the Springwater cemetery. Mrs. Withington is survived by her husband and three daughters: Mrs. William F. Robie of Cuba, NY, Mrs. William N. Willis and Miss Genevieve Withington of Springwater. The son, Robert Withington, died fourteen years ago. The entire community sympathizes with the bereaved family. The los of this noble wife and mother and friend brings sadness to the many.
