FRANK C. HOVEY DEAD

Another Western New York Pioneer Has Passed Away.

SEVENTY YEARS A RESIDENT

Of this Section, He Finally Succumbed to a Complication of Diseases—A Sketch of a Busy, Useful Life.

The death of Frank C. Hovey, which occurred at his home in East Randolph at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning, removes one of the older residents of this section. Mr. Hovey was in his 79th year, and had been in failing health for some time, but his friends did not realize that the end of his long life was so near until a few hours before he was taken. He was a sufferer from a complication of diseases, but his strong will power kept him up and about the house until three days before he died. The last hours of his illness were exceedingly painful, and his death, the immediate cause of which was heart failure, was a welcome relief.

The deceased was born at Warsaw, N. Y., October 21st, 1823, and was one of a large family of children who came with their parents to this neighborhood some seventy years ago and settled at Elm Creek. Experiencing the many hardships of the early settlers, he developed great strength and a rugged constitution which fitted him for the battle of life. Living in a country covered with pine forests, he engaged in lumbering and became an experienced mill worker. About the year 1855 Mr. Hovey purchased the fishery property, which was then a fine timber tract, and employed a large force of men in cutting and rafting the product to points on the Allegheny and Ohio rivers. His lumbering business prospered, and he became well and favorably known throughout this vicinity and active in the affairs of the community. Investing in real estate in time of inflated prices after the war, the greater part of the fruits of his earlier labors was taken. Of late years he had been engaged in farming, until illness prevented active labor. Mr. Hovey was a well read man and kept informed of happenings at home and elsewhere. Pleasing in conversation, he was highly companionable and entertaining, and his hospitality will be remembered by many.

On May 7th, 1848, Mr. Hovey was married to Miss Harriette Hall. To this union were born five children, of whom the following, with their mother, are left to mourn the death of a kind and indulgent husband and father: Mrs. W. G. Harmon, Old Orchard, Me.; Mrs. James Robison, Cochranton, Pa.; and Mrs. Fred Larkin, Jr., Randolph. He is also survived by two sisters: Mrs. Daniel Spaulding of Coldspring, and Mrs. Laura Snow of Bradford; and two brothers: L. F. Hovey of Coldspring, and Ziba Hovey, East Randolph.

Funeral services will be held at the late residence today (Friday) at 3 o'clock p.m., conducted by Rev. Mr. Iams of the M. E. church. Interment in East Randolph cemetery.
