OBITUARY for MARY BRINK wife of Fletcher Sutherland
This estimable woman died on the 24th of September last, of dropsy, aged 43 years. She was the eldest daughter of George Brink, of Lyons, and wife of Fletcher Sutherland, of Cambria, Niagara Co, NY. She was a most amiable and courteous lady, and much esteemed by all who knew her. Reared under moral and Christian influences, she became, at an early age, a member of the Episcopal Church, in which she continued an example of deep, unaffected piety, of untarnished character and purity of conversation. she commenced her education abroad, at the Lima Seminary, and by her unassuming manner and noble bearing gained the respect and favor of both students and teachers. During her early years she was much in society, but after long-continued ill health and domestic care, she came to look upon the family circle as the boundary of her usefulness and pleasure, and devoted a large portion of her time to the education and instruction of her children. She possessed, in a remarkable degree, the power of discerning human character, and a charity not less remarkable, which always led her to dwell upon the good qualities of others, and to take the most favorable view of their faults and weaknesses. For several weeks before her death, she had gained a complete triumph over the fear of death, and with unwavering faith and steadfast hope, was calmly waiting the approach of that hour when her last work would be done and her "spirit go to the God who gave it." Her last illness brought to her side many of her former acquaintances and her neighbors, anxious to bestow their sympathies, and their numerous expressions of kind regard are gratefully treasured as a memorial more enduring than any earthly monument. Her remains were taken to the Chapel at Warren's Corners, where an appropriate sermon was delivered by the Rev. L. S. Stevens, of the Episcopal Church, Lockport, with an address commendatory of the purity of her life and example.

Mary married Fletcher Sutherland about 1844 in Lyons, Wayne Co, New York. Fletcher (son of Andrew Sutherland and Naomi Cooley) was born on 1 Mar 1816 in Pittsford, Rutland Co, Vermont; died on 6 Sep 1888 in Cambria, Niagara Co, New York. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
