MRS. MARIA A. FUESS PASSES AWAY AT A UTICA HOSPITAL
Maria A. Fuess, wife of Philip Fuess, Sr., died suddenly at a Utica Hospital Friday night, Feb. 2. Mrs. Fuess was enjoying her usual good health two days prior to her death and the suddenness of her passing was a shock to her host of friends and acquaintances.

She was born in New York City Dec. 12, 1854, and came to Waterville when a child. In 1876 she was united in marriage to Philip Fuess to who were born six children four of whom survive: Philip, Jr., William, Edward and Harry; nine grandchildren also a sister, Mrs. James McElhin. One son died in infancy and their daughter, Lilly, passed away as she was entering young womanhood. A loving faithful wife and mother, she will be missed in her home. She was a member of St. Bernard's Church and the Rosary Society.

The funeral was held Tuesday from the church and interment was made in the Catholic Cemetery, where she was laid away amid many beautiful floral tributes from friends.

After a few short years of retirement and leisure, Maria passed away at a Utica Hospital on February 2, 1923, and was buried in the Catholic cemetery at Waterville. Philip continued to live alone but was carefully looked after by all his sons and daughters-in-law. He was a great reader and enjoyed the papers and magazines often far into the night perfectly oblivious of the hour. He took daily walks to town for a friendly game of cards or a stroll about the land he had so tenderly nurtured, often dropping in with a basket of fish for the others to enjoy. After a very short illness, he died at his home on December 20, 1932, in his 80th year. He was buried in the Waterville Cemetery. Always honest, reliable and respected, he was truly a self-made man.

"Maria Leggett" is inscribed on the reverse of her tombstone.
