Sarah Lucretia Blackmer
1841 - 1899 (57 years)-
Name Sarah Lucretia Blackmer Birth 18 Aug 1841 Livonia, Livingston County, New York 
Gender Female Death 26 Apr 1899 Richmond, Ontario County, New York Burial Lakeview Cemetery, Honeoye, Ontario County, New York Notes - Honeoye, N. Y. - Died at her home near Honeoye, on Wednesday, April 26, Mrs. Sarah Blackmer Pennell, wife of F. G. Pennell, in the 57th year of her age. Mrs. Pennell was the daughter of the late Henry and Elizabeth Hayes Blackmer of Livonia, Livingston county, and her early years were passed in that town. After the usual time passed in the primary schools, she became a student and in due time a graduate of Ingham university, LeRoy. Soon after her graduation, she was married to Mr. Pennell, and took up her abode with him on the farm where, I think, they have ever since resided. Mrs. Pennell has led a very active life, having always been earnestly engaged in church work and in social, literary and educational affairs. But she will be longest and most lovingly remembered for her kindly ministrations to the poor, the suffering and the sorrowing of the community in which she lived. Her health had always been perfect, and her sudden death from pneumonia was a terrible shock to her friends. Her husband and two daughters, Miss Elizabeth Pennell, who is engaged in teaching in Denver, Col., and Mrs. F. H. Kent of Bristol, survive. The funeral was attended from her late home on Friday afternoon, April 28, and was conducted by her pastor of many years, Rev. S. M. Day. The large attendance of neighbors and friends on that occasion was an indication of the esteem in which she was held. The sympathy of the whole community goes out to the husband and daughters in their sore affliction.
