    Samuel Whitford was born in East Valley, near Alfred, N. Y., Dec. 29, 1825, and died of heart failure at his home in Alfred, Oct. 20, 1901.
    He was the son of Jesse and Olive Burdick Whitford. Of the five children, only one, Nathan T., of Adams Centre, now survives. He was married to Mary Langworthy, Oct. 6, 1849. Twelve years later they were separated by death. Oct. 15, 1866, he was married to Cyrenia Sophia Saunders, who, with their son Frank, survives him. He enlisted in July, 1863, and received a wound in the arm from which he never fully recovered. He was a loving and loyal comrade of the Grand Army. He was converted in young manhood during a revival held by Elder James Cochran, was baptized and joined the Second Alfred Church, from which his membership was transferred to the First Alfred Church two years ago, when his son was baptized. He was a regular and punctual attendant until failing health interfered.
    He was not a man of many words, but constantly aimed to follow the Golden Rule and live a Christian life every day. He was a devoted husband and father, a lover of home, a staunch advocate of good things in public and private life. Whatever he did, he did faithfully and well. Always a great lover of church music, he was for a number of years chorister of the church; and often his home was made cheerful with the grand old hymns in the evening or on Sabbath afternoon. One of his favorites was the "Sweet Bye and Bye," which was sung at his funeral. Services were conducted at the house Oct. 23, by Pastor Randolph, assisted by Dr. Gamble. Text, Psa. 34: 1.
