From the Montrose Independent Republican, Montrose, Pennsylvania dated August 11, 1905: quote Obituary.-Mary Elizabeth Voss. On Sunday, July 2d, '05, at 6 o'clock, p. m., during a terrible shower, when the outside world was enveloped in darkness, as if in keeping with what was transpiring in the home of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Voss, her gentle spirit returned to the God who gave it. It was as one falling into a sweet sleep, which was so comforting to the many aching hearts surrounding her bed. She had been a great sufferer for several years - having had several slight strokes of paralysis. She bore it all with fortitude, and passed away with that Christian assurance which faithful souls alone can enjoy. She was a kind and affectionate mother, full of love for, and devotion to, her children, and those who were near and dear by kindred ties. Her cheerful disposition drew around her a wide circle of friends. To sacrifice comfort or pleasure for her family and friends was a pleasure, and her kindly nature caused her to lend a helping hand to those in need. Although the loss may seem unbearable to those who loved her so dearly, yet her gain is beyond calculation, when we consider that Heaven claimed her for its own, and that she has gone to be with Jesus and the many dear ones who preceded her. Mary Elizabeth Titman was born in Blairstown, N. J., in the year 1840. In the year 1857 she was wedded to David Voss of the same place, and came to Auburn to join her family, the late Philip Titman who had preceded them. Her husband died July 19, 1894. Their union was blessed with three children, all of whom survive her - C. E. Voss of Auburn Corners, Mrs. C. A. Dean of Shannon Hill, and Mrs. Jennie Smith of Auburn Corners; also six grandchildren - Glen L. Voss, Clark S., Daisy M., and Ethyl Dean, Hazel D. and Harold D. Smith; and four brothers and one sister - Hon. D. C. Titman of Montrose, L. W. Titman of Auburn Corners, Mrs. A. L. VanGorden of Meshoppen, E. L. Titman of Dimock, and J. J. Titman of Tunkhannock. The floral offerings were profuse and beautiful, composed of designs and bouquets. The pallbearers were: P. C. Bushnell, E. A. Lemon, R. M. Bushnell, J. Q. Adams, E. Loomis and H. D. Ross. The hymns were sweetly rendered by Mrs. R. M. Bushnell, Mrs. Raymond West, Miss Ethyl Young, Charles Chase and Henry Young. Rev. Edward N. Kline officiated, after which all that was mortal of our loved one was laid at rest beside her husband in the beautiful cemetery at Jersey Hill. unquote -- Marshall Lake -- mlake@mlake.net -- http://mlake.net
