Martha Alice Harrington (1865-1946)

First of Daniel Harrington (1834-1917) and Rachel Perham Clement (1838-1920)'s children. She's standing in the back row of this family photo from around 1885:

Alice was born in Cambridge, NY, and moved back after her husband's death in 1891. She eventually inherited her parents' house and lived there until her death.

The Bancroft Public Library's cemetery resources lists her cause of death as "dyspepsia" and says that she's in the "Clement Mausoleum".

From an obituary:

Mrs. Alice Winslow

Mrs. Alice Winslow passed away Sunday morning at the Albany Hospital following an illness of ten weeks. She was born May 22. 1865. in Cambridge, the eldest daughter of the late Rachel Clement and Daniel Harrington, and was the widow of Edward Winslow. She was the last of five children.

Mrs. Winslow was a member of Embury Methodist Church.

Survivors include two nephews, Daniel W. Harrington of Demarest, New Jersey, and Preston M Harrington, Jr., of Tenafly, New Jersey: and two nieces, Mrs. Lloyd Sandt of Cresskill, New Jersey, and Miss Helen Harrington of Orient, Long Island

Funeral services will be held this afternoon (Wednesday) at 2:30 o'clock at the Spurr Funeral Home, the Rev. Chester A. Simmons officiating. Burial will be in the Evergresn Cemetery at Salem.

Notes:

  • Alice was "the last of five children" in that she was the last one living, not that she was the youngest. She was born first but outlived all of her siblings.
