(From Geneva Gazette 12 August 1881)
- Mrs. Abigail Briggs, widow of Artemus Briggs, of South Bristol, died at her home in Geneva on Monday of last week. She was well-known in the this part of the county as a most exemplary woman and beloved for her amiable nature and many excellent traits of character. Speaking of the death of Mrs. Briggs, the Geneva Courier of last week says: "This venerable man excellent woman, whose funeral is attended today, is the sister of our fellow citizen, Mr. Wm. H. Smith." She died at his house, which has long been her home, on Monday afternoon, aged 82 years. She expired in the new room which thoughtful love had lately added to the dwelling on purpose to provide more amply for her convenience and comfort. Older by many years than her brother, the affection she had shown him from infancy was almost motherly, and to the wide circle of younger kindred, she was an object of more than ordinary veneration. A niece had come with an adult son from Mississippi, on purpose to visit her, and arrived only two or three days before her death. For a number of years she has been too infirm to attend church, but her pastor has always found her most kindly appreciative of his visits, and has been much impressed by the intelligence and consistency, as well as the calm fervor of her piety. She was a humble, amiable, wise, godly woman. She was ripe. She was ready. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
