- Richard Getman and Mary Ann Shults are 1st cousins 1 time removed. Their common ancestors are Christian Getman and Anne Eve Timmerman.- Obituary (Fulton County Republican, Johnstown, NY, Thursday, November 22, 1894)
A shade of gloom was cast over the town of Palatine, Tuesday morning, November 18th, when the announcement was made of the unexpected death of Mrs. Richard Getman. She had been ill but one day. She was highly connected in the way of relationship, being one of a
family of eight children of the late William Shults, who represented one of the oldest pioneer and most influential families of the town of Palatine.
In 1837 she was married to Richard Getman, who also represents one of the oldest and well known families of the Mohawk valley.
She resided with her faithful husband on the farm where she died, for 67 years; six children blessed their home. She is survived by her husband and five chlldren, Mrs. Josephus Getman of Fort Hunter, William F. Getman of Tribes Hill, Albert, Betsy Ann and Norman Getman of the town of Palatine, besides five grand children and one great grand son. She also leaves two sisters and two brothers, Mrs. Hiram Shults of St. Johnsville, Mrs. Levi Everson of Fonda, Christopher Shults of Palatine and Jerome Shults of Avoca, Steuben Co. N. Y., to mourn her sudden demise.
With her mental accomplishments she combined much social and moral worth and was beloved by a large circle of relatives and friends.
She was a devoted christian mother and for many years was a consistent member of the Reformed church of Ephratah, and one of the foremost in advancing its interests. She labored faithfully in the vineyard of the Lord and led an upright and exemplary life in the full hope of a blessed immortality.
The funeral was held from the family residence Friday morning at 11 o'clock and was largely attended by relatives and friends. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr . Wil*on and the Rev. Mr. Van Arnam of Ephratah. The singing was by a quartette of the Reformed church of Ephratah. The remains, reposed in a cloth covered casket, trimmed with gold, on the lid was a plate bearing the inscription:
"Mary Ann Getman died Nov. 18, aged 75 years two months and nine days." The floral offerings were beautlful including a pillow of flowers which bore the word mother and cut flowers from intimate friends beside a sheaf of wheat.
The interment was made in the family lot at Ephratah. The family have the sympathy of the community in their sad bereavement .She is not dead; she is but sleeping;
The cold, cold grave is only keeping
The dust to dust returning:
Death could not claim the soul immortal;
For angels from the heaveuly portal
Bent o'er with eager yearning.
The good and right, with boldness doing,
The better path in all pursuing.
And faithful in each duty
Her life was one harmonious blending
To all a gracious influence lending
So full of truth and beauty.
And though the grave her form is keeping,
She is not dead, she is but sleeping
To wake to joys supernal;
One seraph more in Heaven is dwelling,
One more redeemed the choir is swelling
To praise the great eternal.
C. F. B.
