Lucy Ann Canfield
1811 - 1893 (82 years)-
Name Lucy Ann Canfield Birth 09 Sep 1811 Pittsford, Monroe County, New York 
Gender Female Death 26 Dec 1893 Grove, Allegany County, New York Burial Canaseraga Cemetery, Burns, Allegany County, New York Notes - It becomes our sad duty to record the death of Mrs. Lucy Ann Haynes, on the morning of the 26th of December, after a long and painful illness. She had lived a long and useful life, having passed her 82nd birthday, and had been a resident of the town of Grove for about 35 years, moving here from the town of Burns in 1858. She was the widow of the late David Haynes of loving memory, and four children, Henry and Israel Haynes, of Hornellsville, and Mrs. Horatio Reynard and Mrs. Wm. Nichols of Grove, remain to mourn the death of this most affectionate mother. She died at the house of Mr. Wm. Nichols, where she had for many years been a loved and honored inmate. Mild in her manners and of a very gentle disposition, she was yet firm as a rock for the right, and her children always found in her a capable as well as a loving adviser. The many trials and sorrows inseparable from so long a life she did not escape but endured them all with quiet fortitude and the sweet patience of a truly Christian spirit. A kind neighbor, an affectionate friend and a devoted mother, foremost in good and noble deeds, she spent all her energies in making others happy, always forgetting self and keeping own sorrows resolutely in the background. Although her last years were years of great physical suffering and her last illness (la grippe) racked her frail body even to the death, she bore it all without complaint and conversed with her children lovingly to the last. Meekly she closed her eyes on the fading scenes of earth, then joyfully entered the pearly gates thrown wide to receive her and heard the Christmas bells of heaven pealing for her a glad welcome to its unfailing joys. Her memory will long be kept green, and her loss be felt by many, many loving friends, but most of all will she be missed by that home where she received such untiring filial devotion and where her vacant chair remains a silent reminder of the sweet presence that has vanished away.
