PALMYRA DEMOCRAT Palmyra, Wayne Co., NY Wednesday, October 10, 1888 "Dads" Last Ride There was probably no better known person in Palmyra than Morris D. HU?LEY, better known as "Dad." He was a character that distinctly belonged to this place having been a resident here for sixty-two years, having removed here with his parents when but five years old. In the early days of the canal he was one of the first that drove a team for the old packet line. When the railroad was built through Palmyra "Dad" was there to meet the first train with his buss. He has continued to drive his buss for thirty-five years to the New York Central depot, and his acquaintance with the traveling public was probably greater than any man on the road. During the fore part of last summer he received a paraletic shock that prostrated him for some time, although he never fully recovered. During the past year he has been confined to his house the most of the time. During the past two weeks he grew worse until his death which took place on Thursday last at 67 years of age. The funeral! which took place on Sunday last was largely attended by those who had known him during his life. His old buss draped in mourning drawn by two white horses preceded his remains in the funeral procession carrying the pallbearers and minister. He leaves besides a faithful wife, three daughters, Mrs. B.A. MOORE, of Syracuse, Mrs. W.F. PECK, of Rochester, and Lizzie who is unmarried and resides at home, also two sons, Chas. C. of this place and Freemon T. of Amsterdam. Macedon There is a considerable sickness in our town at present, the prevaling disease being malarial fever and keuralgia.
