Miss Nancy Holcomb of Tunnel [Broome Co., NY], aged fourteen years, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. B.C. Barnum, at Union, Sunday, Feb. 28, at 1 o'clock p.m., after an illness of only three days. She attended school on Thursday apparently in good health and on Friday was somewhat ailing, but was not considered dangerous until Sunday morning. The efforts of the most skilled physicians of Binghamton could not relieve her suffering, and she died that afternoon. One week before she confessed her Savior in revival meetings being held in the Lestershire M.E. Church, and what consolation her faith was in her dying moments. Her body was brought to her old home at G.A. Holcomb's at Tunnel, where her funeral was largely attended on Tuesday. Her pastor, Rev. Williams, officiating. The text being from St. John 14:1. The floral tributes were many and beautiful showing the esteem in which she was held. Burial was in New Ohio cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY]beside her mother, Mrs. Eunice Ann Holcomb, who was buried just five weeks before; therefore the bereaved family have the sympathy of the whole community in this their double affliction.
