ALPHEUS CONANT
At the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. Heston Sheldon, Camden, N.Y., Alpheus Conant passed away Saturday night, September 26, 1936 after a protracted illness. In the fall of 1933 he suffered a fractured hip from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Confined to his home for many months, yet his suffering and privation did not deprive him of the music of hope and patience that remained in his heart. The immediate cause of death was heart failure and complications.
He was born in Mexico, June 7, 1866, son of Aaron and Mary Myers Conant. In his early teens he accompanied his parents to Orwell where he identified himself with the enterprises of the town. His education was obtained in the local school and later he carried on the trade of carpenter and general laborer. Since December 1935, compelled by physical infirmity, he made his home with his daughter who tenderly cared for him until the Angel that ends pain touched his mortal frame. For nearly a quarter of a century he was the faithful sexton of the Orwell Union church and the Evergreen cemetery. He was also employed in the Woodbury chair factory for several years.
On July 3, 1888 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Hilton. Upon her death he was married to Miss Coral Platt, leaving a daughter, Mrs. E Heston Sheldon by his first wife and a son Kenneth Conant by his second marriage, who survive him.
Memorial service was held at his late home Tuesday afternoon, September 29, Revs H. H. Barnard, Mexico, and T. T. Davies, Sandy Creek officiating. Interment was in the Orwell Evergreen cemetery. The wealth of fragrant flowers were expressive of the life of service and usefulness which had passed on.
He is survived by a brother, C. W. Conant, Chicago; a sister, Mrs. Claude Pratt, Richland, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Maude Conant of
Syracuse.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." The experience means the
exchange of strife for peace; of suffering for joy of mortality for
life eternal.
"O not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came today;
Twas an angel true that came to us
And took the flowers away."
