STEUBEN REPUBLICAN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 1877, p.3, c.1

MARY ANN McCONNELL, 31 AUG 1868 - 25 Jan 1877

   The funeral of little Mary McConnell, daughter of Dr. and 
Mrs. Geo. W. McConnell, of this place, took place from the 
family residence last Saturday.  The services were engaged in 
and conducted by the pastors of the three churches of the 
village, and were very impressive.  The attendance was large 
indeed--more than could well enter the mansion.  No small 
portion of this attendance were the school children and 
playmates of little Mary, all of whom held her in great 
affection and esteem, as did all others who knew the dear 
departed one. Their grief was marked and unfeigned; their 
tokens of respect and affection were beautiful in type and 
sincere in bestowment.--The little angel Mary will never be 
forgotten. She is where none can be forgotten.
