From Geneva Daily Times 7 December 1903

        Phelps, N. Y. - The funeral of Mrs. Louis Hollenbeck who died Thursday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A. H. Swartz, at Olean, was held Sunday at Plainville. Mrs. Hollenbeck was formerly a resident of this village but had made her home at Olean for the past year. She was 76 years of age and is survived by five sons, A. J. and George Hollenbeck of Phelps; Lewis of Waterport; William of Kansas; and Charles of Horseheads; also five daughters:  Mrs. Herbert Perkins of Rochester, Mrs. A. H. Swartz of Olean; Mrs. James of Medina; Mrs. Charles Wilbur of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Reed of Plainsville. The cause of her death was heart trouble.

 

Notes from Joyce Gleason

        Dad (Avery) said he could remember Grandma Matilda coming to visit. She was evidently a substantial woman and came under a full head of steam. Of course this is a small boy’s image, as he was only 5 when she died. His other memory was of a great uncle who came alone to visit and always carried an umbrella. I’m not sure who this was.
