Mrs.
Kittie A. Strait
Mrs. Kittie Alice Toombs, widow of the late Delbert
Strait, formerly of Laurens, passed away at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Herman Harrington, at Garrattsville, at a little past midnight
Saturday evening, Dec. 6, from paralysis from which she had suffered
for about eight weeks previous to her death. She was born at
Coventry, N. Y., June 1, only daughter of Jonah and Adelaide
(Benedict) Toombs. After the death of her father the family moved to
the town of Laurens near Gilbert Lake, where they lived for many
years.
She was united in marriage to Delbert Strait of
Laurens, Jan. 23, 1893, their entire wedding life being passed in
that vicinity. After Mr. Strait's death four years ago she moved to
Garrattsville where she has since resided. A woman of pleasing
personality, very quiet and exceedingly devoted to her home and
family. For the past seven years she has very tenderly cared for her
invalid mother.
Left to mourn the loss of a loving mother, daughter
and sister are three children, Austin Strait, Mrs. Herman Harrington
and Mrs. Harry Stickles; her aged mother, and one brother, Edwin
Toombs of Pittsfield, and a wide circle of friends who unite with the
family in their sorrow.
The funeral was largely attended at her late home
Wednesday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. J. C.
Calhoun, pastor of the U. P. church at Garrattsville, a close friend
of the family. Interment was beside her husband in the Laurens
cemetery. The bearers were, Bert Strait, George Strait, Harry Strait
and Herman Harrington.
