Sister Roxy Slauson departed this life February 4th, 1929. She was the loving wife and devoted companion of the late brother Seeley Stauson. She was the daughter of James G. and Nancy Ballard, and united in marriage with Seeley Slauson in the year 1875. He preceded her to the grave nine years. She leaves to mourn their loss two sons Amasa J., of Halcottville, N.Y., and Orley H., of Roxbury, N.Y. Sister Roxy united with the church, along with her husband, and they were both baptized by the late Elder John B. Slauson, November 1st, 1918. She was a faithful wife and mother, very devoted to her husband and family, patiently filling her place in the lives of those near and dear to her, she was a help meet indeed. In the church she was always in her place, faithful and steadfastly minded, rejoicing in the truth. She was favored with good health almost all her life, and was of a cheerful disposition, so that her presence was often like a ray of sunshine in the home. She was only sick a few days of acute bronchitis, and to the sorrow of all, she was taken to her eternal home. Her sorrowing family miss her much, but with a feeling that their loss is her eternal gain they desire to say, "Thy will be done." She was staying with her son Orley, at Roxbury, at the time of her death. The funeral service was held at the Halcottville meetinghouse and the interment was in the Vega Cemetery.
G.R.
