• Notes

  Potsdam Herald Recorder September 8, 1922 The little community of West Parishville was deeply saddened by the death of Mrs. Frank Bicknell which occurred Saturday morning, Sept. 2, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John A. Young At Watertown, N.Y. Mrs. Bicknell has been in poor health for over two years and her death was due to anemia. In May of this year her condition became very alarming and she was placed in a private hospital under the care of Watertown’s most skilled physicians. During the last few weeks she submitted to four blood transfusions, her husband and two friends giving their blood in hopes of benefitting her. At times her condition was such that her family and friends were somewhat hopeful, but for the past two weeks her condition had been very serious and recovery doubtful. Mrs. Bicknell was born at Madrid, daughter of Henry and Adolpha Pelton. She received her early education in Madrid and at fourteen years moved with her parents to West Parishville, her father, a cheese maker, having purchased a factory here. About this time Mrs. Bicknell attended the Potsdam Normal and then followed the vocation of teaching for two years. July 29, 1884 she was united in marriage to Frank Bicknell by Rev. S. Call at the Methodist parsonage at Potsdam. The couple then came to West Parishville to reside on the Bicknell homestead. Three children blessed this union, Frank, who died in infancy, Ralph, who died January 28, 1920, and Elizabeth, now Mrs. John A. Young, of Waterloo. Mrs. Bicknell was a noble, Christian woman, a loving friend, a devoted wife and mother. SAhe lived a broad life, ever ready to help her neighbors and friends in time of sorrow and distress.
