Tanner, David

transcribed by Connie S

. On August 30, 1910, at 11 pm, at his house on Rider Street, Parish, occurred the death of David B. Tanner, after an illness of but two weeks. His death was largely due to old age, and his (illegible) was attended with (illegible). His passing away was with hardly a struggle and was as natural as falling asleep. Mr. Tanner was born in Oneida County, near Rome, in the year 1726 (should be 1826) thus making him of the ripe age of 84 past. Right up to the last he showed a remarkable physical constitution and his walk was such as one would expect of a much younger person. This was partly due to his leading a vigorous, active life in close contact with nature for he ever had a fondness for the free outdoor activities, and partly due to his steady thrifty habits. Mr. & Mrs. Tanner were united in marriage in the year 1869, and the contract entered into then has been held sacred and dear ever since. Mr. Tanner has been a faithful, loyal and loving husband, never speaking a cross word nor giving occasion for anything but the most (illegible) martial relations. His home was ruled in the spirit of Christian likeness. Although no children were born into the home, yet it was a happy home. For the last eight years Mr. Tanner, with his wife, have lived in the village of Parish as once of its most valued citizens. Not only was he smart for his years, but he was also young of spirit. he was sunny in spirit, jovial in disposition, gladsome of heart, and frank in manner. His sunny nature won for him many friends. he carried sunshine wherever he went, and for everyone he had a glad smile and a cherry word. He experienced religion about forty years ago and has been a faithful, consistent follower of the Master every since. His life has been a testimony to the perfect trust he had in God. At the last he seemed to realize that the end was near, but he had no fears. He said he was ready to go whenever the good Lord should call him. No doubt his life, so openly expressive of Christ, like trust, as seen in his cheerfully meeting all experiences, and in finding the happier side of life, spoke a stronger testimony of Christ's power than any word that he might have uttered. Surely his sunny life has entered into that life that is all bright with the sunlight of God's love. Early in his Christian life he united with the Protestant Methodist denomination, but on coming to Parish he transferred his church relations to that of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Tanner is survived by four brothers, besides his faithful wife, all of whom greatly mourn their loss by his death. The community also feels no small loss in missing the real part he had in their lives. The friends of the community wish to express their heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones in their sore affliction.

Tanner, Sarah Louise Donovan

July 26, 1922

It is with great regret that we are obliged to write this memorial for one whose place will not be easily filled. There was a feeling of sadness in Richland and vicinity when it was said of Sarah Donovan Tanner that she had closed this life, July 23, at the Ideal Rest Hospital, following an operation for a serious internal ailment. Sarah Donovan. daughter of John and Mary Valliere Donovan, was born in Canada sixty years ago August 8. She came to New Centerville when a small child where she spent her early life. She was united in marriage with Alvin Tanner and had lived at Richland for many years. Mrs. Tanner was a woman of great love of her home and friends. She was always trying to put into practice the "Golden Rule". Her life was given up to her home and her duties in the community where she lived. She won a place of high honor in her devotion to her aged mother, the late Mary Valliere Donovan, whose days were made as happy as the devotion Mrs. Tanner could give was possible to make them. She was interested in good work and loved to serve wherever she could be of service. She was a devoted Christian and for some time took a great interest in and was the head of New Centerville Sunday School. She was interested in and concerned about the happiness of others to such extent that she used her best endeavor to scatter sunshine and comfort. Her funeral was largely attended, Wednesday afternoon, at the Methodist church at Richland. Rev. C. A. Robinson, pastor of the Richland Methodist Church and Rev. Walter Clement of Taberg Methodist Church conducting the same. A profusion of flowers were brought as a testimony of love and esteem from the great circle of friends who regret her death. She was laid at rest in Richland Cemetery. The truest thing we can say of the departed is "She hath done what she could." She made good use of all she had to work with and while her accomplishments may not be as conspicious as the accomplishments of many others, she surely has won the home and rest, beyond the grave, which she looked forward to as the goal of her life's journey. Mrs. Tanner is survived by her husband, two sons, Carl of Watertown, and Norman of Richland, three sister, Anna Sage of Brooklyn, Mary Albertine Valliere of New York, Mrs. Nellie Howe of Texas and Mrs. Charles Kent of Sandy Creek. Friends and relatives from Taberg, Camden, Williamstown, Oswego, Watertown, Almar, Pulaski and Sandy Creek attended the funeral.
