Many Pay Tribute to Late Melvina Slater
Yesterday, a beautiful autumn day, symbolic of a full life at its close, a simple, unostentatious service in keeping with her life, was held for Miss Melvina Slater in the little hamlet of West Slaterville. Prayer service, conducted by her brother-in-law, Rev. Mr. Wade, of Newark, N. Y. was held at the home in which practically her entire life had been spent, and later a brief funeral service was held from the Slaterville Springs M. E. Church, Rev. Mr. Porter officiating, of which she was a lifelong member.
Mrs. Slater was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Slater, who had always resided in Tompkins County. Miss Slater is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Oliver C. Hazen of Caroline Center and Mrs. Frank R. Wade of Newark, N. Y. who has been constant in her care during the period of her sister's failing health.
Miss Slater received her education in the Buffalo Normal School in rural communities. Her alert mind, her unfailing loyalty to a friend, her charity toward all, endeared her to those who knew her and made her humble home, surrounded by old fashioned flowers and vines, a haven or refuge where one might seek strength, loving counsel and good cheer.
Of her a friend writes: "Victor Hugo says. " People do not lack strength, they lack will". Miss Slater, though frail in body, possessed a strong, brave spirit which nothing daunted. Eighty-two years young, because of a life of service, cheer and faith in God and man."
Miss Slater was for more than 40 years correspondent for the Ithaca News. [Died Sept. 23, 1924]
