Info from Marilyn A. Dicks:
I have a correction to add for the date of death for Cyrus and yes I know the headstone has 1927 as the date of death. I could not find him in the Pennsylvania Death Index for that date therefore I checked the year 1926 and there he was.
Date of death is 5 October 1926 in New Lebanon.
Then I was able to find a brief obituary for him in the Greenville Record Argus.
October 9, 1926 (Saturday)
New Lebanon Personals:
Cyrus Klingensmith passed away Sunday (sic) evening (this is not correct he passed away on Tuesday)after being confined to his bed about three months. He died at the age of 89 years, 1 month, 15 days.
Funeral services were held at the home of his son, E. J. Klingensmith, Tuesday at 2 p.m. conducted by his pastor, Rev. Lee of the Presbyterian church. His wife, Susan Dean having preceded him two years ago. He leaves seven children, four sons and three daughters.
I am sending for his death certificate to confirm what the death index had.
