When I want down stairs at 5:30 went immediately to Mother's bedside. Saw there was a change in her appearance for the worse. Told Clara so, & she immediately sent word to brother Ed. He and Ann came down; stayed during the day. We watched by her bedside trying to do for & administer to her relief until 4 p.m. when she quietly breathed her last, surrounded by her children & all of her grandchildren. . .weather hot. Thermometer 112." July 2. ". . .Chand & I went to Modesto to make necessary arrangements for the funeral of our mother. . .Went to the cemetery.

    Notes:

    Sprague Families in America", by Dr. Warren Vincent Sprague, page 65.
    Parmenas Sprague served in the War of 1812; lived as a farmer at Ira, NY.

    From Virginia Sprague Webster, correspondent. One discrepancy here: His tombstone states that he died 11 June 1871 and on p. 2 of "Hannibal History", it says, "Parmenus died on June 11, 1871 and is buried alongside his wives in the small rural cemetery in Bethel". This is the old Sprague burying ground.

    From Marilyn Owen, correspondent. He is on the 1855 NY State census for Cayuga Co., age 73, born in CT. His 3rd wife Christina, is age 57, born in Saratoga Co., NY. Dolston Sprague [a son by wife #2, Mary Potter], is in the home, age 36, born in Cayuga Co. His occupation is "insurance agent". Living next door is Parmenus' and Christina's son, C.B. Sprague, with his wife and baby daughter. On the 1865 NY state census, Parmenus & Christina are living with their son, C. Burton Sprague and family. Parmenus is age 83; Christina is age 58. Parmenus died in 1871 and is buried in the Bethel Cemetery, in Hannibal, Oswego County, on land which belonged to his father, Thomas Sprague. Parmenus' monument is large and imposing. All three of his wives are buried near him.
