From Ontario County Journal 3 May 1907
East Bloomfield, N. Y. - The death of Mrs. Orchesta Stafford, widow of Samuel Stafford, occurred at the family home in this village on Monday afternoon, after many weeks and months of suffering, caused by a cancerous trouble. She had undergone two operations, but only temporary relief was given. During all her days of weariness and pain, she had been cared for by her daughter, Miss Belle O. Stafford, who is left alone.
Mrs. Stafford and her daughter had managed the large farm since the death of Mr. Stafford, and its sale was consummated just a few days before Mrs. Stafford's death.
Mrs. Stafford was 78 years of age, and was born at Mendon. In 1850, she married William A. Angevine, and resided at Victor. Upon Mr. Angevine's death, which occurred in 1862, she made her home at Albion with a brother, and there in 1870, she married Samuel Stafford. Mr. and Mrs. Stafford resided in the west and at Victor before settling here, of her father's family, two sisters survive, Mrs. Stephen Hallock and Mrs. William Hallock, both of Albion.
The funeral was held from the family home yesterday afternoon, Rev. W. D. Robinson officiating. The interment was in the village cemetery.
