The Board of Trustees of the Owasco Rural Cemetery Association, in a special meeting
at the home of the President, J. M. Bevier, this 12th day of November, 1921, does
hearby order the following minute be placed in its record:

"In the death of Adelbert DeVoe, superintendent of the Owasco Rural Cemetery, which
occurred at his home October 31st, the Trustees feel most kindly the loss they have sustained.

"Mr. DeVoe began his labors occasionally in the cemetery as far back as 1891, and
for two decades had been caretaker and for the last few years had been trustee and
superintendent, becoming so familiar with all details that his services were invaluable.
He was always planning to beautify the grounds and used every precaution that
all things be done in order.

"We feel sure that all lot-owners and the undertakers who have been called here
will unite with us in appreciation of his long and faithful service, and in
extending sympathy to the stricken family.
