FRANCIS WESLEY HIGGINS, M.D. February 7, 1857 -
December 18,1903
Dr. Francis Wesley Higgins was the son of a Methodist
minister, and was born in Plymouth, Chenango Co., N. Y., February 7,
1857. After he was fourteen years of age he supported himself by
farm work, clerking and teaching country schools until prepared to
practice medicine. He was educated in the public schools, at
Cazenovia seminary and Colgate academy, Hamilton, N. Y., where he
displayed marked ability. Before his graduation he was for two years
principal of the McGrawville academy.
He studied medicine with Dr. H. C. Hendrick, at McGrawville, and
attended medical lectures at the University of Michigan and the
medical department of the University of the City of New York. He was
graduated from the latter institution in 1881, and began the
practice of medicine in that same year at Truxton, N. Y. Here he
remained for four years and a half, and then moved to Chemung, N.
Y., where he practiced for a year and a half, and then removed to
Cortland, in the same state, where he resided till the date of his
death, December 18, 1903.
On November 26, 1879, he was married to Miss Kittie M. Smith,
of McGrawville, N. Y., who, with three sons and a daughter, survive
him.
Dr. Higgins was prepared for special work on diseases of the eye,
ear, nose and throat by attendance at post-graduate schools and
hospitals in New York, Philadelphia and London. He was also an
accomplished surgeon, being the pioneer in abdominal surgery in his
vicinity, and long one of the surgical staff of the Cortland
Hospital. He was a careful and conscientious student of medicine, an
active worker in the local scientific society and a public-spirited
Christian citizen, active in all that concerned the welfare of the
community in which he lived.
He was a member of the Cortland County Medical Society, of which he
was for several years the secretary, and of which he had also been
president. He was also a member of the New York State Medical
Association and at the time of his death president of the Third
District Branch and a member of the Committee on Arrangements. He
was a member of the American Medical Association, Medical Society of
the State of New York, and the Medical Association of Central New
York.
Dr. Higgins had been a member of this Society only since 1898, but
was deeply interested in it and his untimely death is a source of
keen regret

FRANCIS WESLEY HIGGINS, M.D.
Dr. Francis Wesley Higgins dropped dead in his office
December 18, 1903, at 10 A. M., after having made his usual morning
professional calls. He was taken without warning, save experiencing
a few tinges of pain in the region of the heart, some minutes before
his loyal and manly spirit took its flight.
Dr. Higgins was the son of a Methodist minister, and was born in
Plymouth, Chenango County, N. Y., February 7, 1857. After he was 14
years of age he supported himself by farm work, clerking and
teaching country schools until prepared to practice medicine. He was
educated at the public schools, at Cazenovia Seminary and Colgate
Academy, Hamilton, where he displayed marked ability. Before his
graduation he was for two years principal of the McGrawville
Academy.
He studied medicine with Dr. H. C. Hendrick, at McGrawville. It was
fortunate for Dr. Higgins to be associated with so genial and
thorough a physician as Dr. Hendrick, whose influence and counsel
helped to fashion his life. He also attended medical lectures at
Michigan University, Ann Arbor, and the medical department of the
University of the City of New York. He was graduated from the latter
institution in 1881, and began the practice of medicine in that same
year with the late Dr. Judson C. Nelson, of Truxton. For four and a
half years he remained in Truxton, and then moved to Chemung,
Chemung County, where he practiced for a year and a half, and in the
spring of 1887 came to Cortland, which has since been his home.
On November 26, 1879, Dr. Higgins was married to Miss Kittie M.
Smith, of McGrawville, N. Y. Four children were born to them
R. Paul, now a medical student in Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Md.;
Max S., a student at Cornell University; George H. and
Winifred, who are students at home.
He prepared himself for special work in diseases of the eye, ear,
nose and throat by spending some time in post-graduate schools and
hospitals in New York, Philadelphia and London.
Dr. Higgins was a member of the Cortland County Medical Society, and
was for several years its secretary, and was also its president. He
was a member of the New York State Medical Association, and at the
time of his death President of the Third District Branch and a
member of the Committee on Arrangements. He was a member of the
American Medical Association, Medical Society of the State of New
York, and the Medical Association of Central New York.
He was sought for in council outside his own city. He was
philanthropic in his work, bringing to the Cortland Hospital its
first patient. He had been one of the surgical staff since the
hospital was organized, and was fully prepared in surgery, being the
pioneer abdominal surgeon of the county. He was a most careful and
conscientious student of the science of medicine, and his loss will
be greatly felt in the community in which he lived and worked.
He was at one time President of the village, being elected in 1895
on a reform ticket. He was one of the organizers of the Cortland
Science Club, and for the first two years its president, and from
the start has been one of its Advisory Board.
The funeral of Dr. F. W. Higgins, which was held in the First
Methodist Church, at 2.30 o'clock, Monday, December 21st, was one of
the largest ever held in Cortland. No one was present through
curiosity. Every one came as a friend to pay the last tribute to a
loving friend, a faithful physician and a thoroughly whole souled
Christian man. The large concourse not only packed the auditorium to
the doors, but filled the corridors, the overflow even extending
down into the Sunday-school room. Some idea of the number present
may be obtained from the fact that it took nearly an hour for the
friends to view the remains and pass out. He was laid away in
Cortland Rural Cemetery, at the going down of the sun.
The following memorials were adopted at the meetings of the county
medical organizations, and testify to his worth as a physician, as a
man, as a friend:

MEMORIALS.
At a meeting of the Cortland County Medical Association, held at the
York Hotel Friday evening, the following memorial tribute was
adopted:
A great sorrow has fallen upon the medical profession of Cortland
County, in the sudden death of Dr. F. W. Higgins.
In order that we may pay a slight measure of justice to his memory,
we, the members of the Cortland County Medical Association, put upon
record our high and unqualified appreciation of his worth as a man,
his ability and attainments as a physician, and his loyalty as a
member of this society of which he was one of the founders. His
energy and progressive scientific spirit were an inspiration to
those of us who were intimately associated with him. His activity in
the community and his deep interest in all public affairs, were some
of his estimable characteristics. We could not help feeling that he
was ambitious, but always from a desire for higher attainments and
not from a mercenary motive.
"For even as we knew him, smiling still,
Somewhere, beyond all earthly ache or ill,
He waits, with the old welcome. Just as when
We met him smiling, we will meet again."
We, the members of the Cortland County Medical Association now
convened, do sincerely condole with his afflicted wife and children,
upon whom this great sorrow has so unexpectedly fallen, and we offer
them our heartfelt sympathy. Because of the respect in which we hold
the memory of Dr. Higgins, this memorial shall be recorded in the
secretary's book of the Association, a copy of it sent to the
bereaved family, and also printed in the city papers.
Frank D. Reese, Philip M. Neary, Frank S. Jennings, Committee. H. S.
Braman, Secretarv.
The Cortland County Medical Society has adopted the following
memorial tribute for the late Dr. F. W. Higgins:
Whereas, The Supreme Ruler of the Universe has received from earthly
life Dr. Francis Wesley Higgins, an honored member of the Cortland
County Medical Society, taking him from his labors, his friends and
family, while still in the prime of his years, and in the midst of a
most useful career, that this sad event brings to each of us the
sense of a personal loss, the rupture of ties made very close by
professional and friendly association, therefore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of Dr. Higgins is sustained the loss of
one of the most useful, energetic, intelligent, and capable members
of the Cortland County Medical Society; That while his demise brings
desolation and sorrow to his home and family, and the community
mourn for him as one who was, but is not; comfort cometh in the
possession of loving memories to those who came close "to him in
life or profited by his skill and service.
Resolved, That the sympathy of this society be extended to the
bereaved family of our deceased associate, remembering that while
his death brings desolation and sorrow to his home, there remain
loving memories in the hearts of his friends and those of the
community that knew him well.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of
Dr. Higgins, and also that they be engrossed in the records of the
society.
"The shadows on the dial fall,
But who can tell how soon a cloud
May end them all and life as well."
The end of an earthly career has come. It came with startling
sadness. Life ceased at its meridian. Patient years of toil and
study had built for him a place in the heart and confidence of the
community and of his fellow-workers in his chosen profession. He had
energy plus. Work to him was akin to recreation. But the inevitable
came. He is gone and we mourn for him.

Edward F. Higgins, who is engaged in the conduct of coach,
livery and sale stables, at Rochester, was born in this city May 7.
1861, his parents being Timothy G. and Mary (Powers)
Higgins, the former a native of Ireland and the latter of
Canada. The father came to Rochester in his youth and resided here
for about forty years, after which he removed to
Hamilton, Ontario, where he now resides. He was "the first man
to run a public vehicle in Rochester, on Buffalo street, now West
Main street, and also on Lake avenue, conducting his business before
there were any street cars. He also ran a stage to the camp here
during the Civil war and was the pioneer stage man of Rochester. He
likewise engaged in milling for a number of years and later turned
his attention to the wholesale butcher business, being thus
connected with several business enterprises which were an element in
the city's growth and development. His wife died in June, 1881. They
were the parents of eight children, six of whom are living:
William; Edward F.; Jane; George, a
blacksmith of Rochester ; Florence; and Henry. One
son, John, was killed by the cars in Buffalo.
Edward F. Higgins was reared in the city of Rochester and was
educated in the public schools. He afterward worked as an employee
in a wholesale butchering business and later in a coaching business.
Seeing opportunities for himself, in 1883 he established an
enterprise of his own in a small way, at No. 35 Atkinson street, and
his patronage rapidly increased until in April, 1899, it
necessitated his removal to larger quarters. He then opened a stable
at his present location, where he has since remained, and he now
owns this property, ninety-nine by one hundred and sixty feet, and
another place, sixty-six by one hundred and sixty feet. Mr. Higgins
has one of the best equipped livery barns in the city. He has the
latest vehicles of every kind, including everything from a
one-passenger vehicle to those which will carry fifty passengers,
and keeps on hand all the time from one hundred and twenty-five to
one hundred and fifty head of horses, all of which are good animals.
His patronage now is very extensive, making his business profitable
and he deserves much credit for what he has accomplished, for ho had
no assistance when he started out in life.
Mr. Higgins was married April 11, 1882, to "Miss Bridget Slyncs,
of Oswego, New York,
and they have two daughters, Alice and Emily. Mr.
Higgins is a member of the Rochester Club. He has many friends in
the city who admire him for his business success and for his
business integrity, and his life is proof of what may he
accomplished when one has determination and is not afraid of hard
work.

Sister Albert Higgins died June 30, 2002.
Sister Albert Higgins died at Marymount Convent,
Tarrytown, NY, Thursday, June 27, 2002. A member of
the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary for 76 years, she would have celebrated her 100th birthday on
November 5.
Sister Albert began her many years of ministry as a teacher at Marymount Academy, Tarrytown, NY, and
Marymount School, New York City. In 1928, she was sent to Brazil. Vaccinated against
yellow fever, with one or two lessons in Portuguese, she arrived in Rio de Janeiro on September 7, after a
thirteen-day boat trip. There, she taught English for four years at Sacred Heart of Mary School.
Just after making her final vows in August 1932, Sister Albert was named novice mistress, a position
she filled for 22 years. When asked what about her
emphasis in forming the novices , she answered, "the
spirit of faith and the spirit of obedience." When speaking about her years in Brazil, she said, "These
were the happiest years in my religious life. Brazil was for me a real spiritual font. You could drink
deep. People didn't preach religion; they lived it."
Sister Albert remained in Brazil until 1950 when she
was sent to teach English at Marymount on Via
Nomentana in Rome. It was during that time, that she also had the opportunity to spend a few months at the
Motherhouse in B�ziers, France, working on the preliminary stages of the cause of Jean
Gailhac,
founder of the RSHM. It was there that she nurtured her interest in the spirit and spirituality of Father
Gailhac, and for the rest of her days, her devotion to him was an ever-present part of her ministry.
In 1952, Mother Agnes de Jesus Teixeira, former provincial in Brazil and later provincial in Portugal,
asked that Sister Albert be sent to Mozambique with her to establish the first RSHM foundation in Africa,
at Quelimane. She spent six years in Mozambique, first in Quelimane, and then in Guru�, where she was
superior and founder of the second RSHM school in
Africa.
Sister Albert's final mission in Africa, began in 1960�a nine year sojourn in Southern Rhodesia, now
know as Zimbabwe�teaching at Marymount School in Umtali (now known as Mutare) and at St. Kilian's
Mission in Rusape. Speaking about Marymount, the first school in Rhodesia to be integrated, she commented,
"That spirit of openness to receive any child who
comes along, who is in a condition to learn or to be educated, is really an expression of our spirit of
zeal that belonged to Father Gailhac."
In 1969, Sister Albert returned to Rome to teach again, before retiring. But even when she was no
longer teaching full-time, she continued to teach one or two classes, to tutor students in English, and to
care for the chapel.
In 1996, the year of her 70th anniversary of her first vows, she returned to Tarrytown, NY, where she had
begun her religious life, to live with the retired sisters at Marymount Convent. Sr. Albert is survived
by a sister, Sister Gertrude Higgins, RSHM, of Tarrytown, NY; [SEE
NEXT OBITUARY) a niece, Eileen Higgins Harris in South
Africa; a nephew, Michael Higgins in England; and
cousins, Sister Nora Grace, RSHM, and Sister Catherine Grace,
RSHM, both of Tarrytown, NY; Sister Francisca Grace, RSHM, of Rome, Italy;
Loretta Higgins and James Higgins of Edison, NJ; Margaret Higgins
Connell of
Jamesburg, NJ; and Patrick Priest of Manasquan, NJ.
Funeral services were at Marymount Convent, Tarrytown
on June 30 and July 1, 2002. Sister Albert was buried
at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in White Plains, NY.

Sister Gertrude Higgins died in Tarrytown, NY, January 19, 2003
Sister Gertrude Higgins died at Marymount Convent, Tarrytown, NY, Saturday, January 18, 2003. She was 97
years of age and would have celebrated 75 years as aReligious of the Sacred Heart of Mary later this year.
She was born Rosaline Carmel Higgins in Dublin, Ireland on May 9, 1905, to
Michael and Margaret Mary Morgan Higgins.
On October 5, 1926, she entered the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary at Marymount in Tarrytown, NY.
She made her first vows at Marymount, Tarrytown, on July 12, 1928 and her final vows, also at
Marymount, on August 27, 1933.
After first profession, Sister Gertrude was sent to Marymount School in New York, NY, where she taught
from 1928 to 1934. In 1934, she was assigned to Marymount College, Tarrytown, NY, where she taught art
and art history until she retired in 1970. At that time she was named professor emerita. In 1993, she
moved to Marymount Convent, Tarrytown, NY where she was living at the time of her death.
Sister Gertrude had many gifts�teaching education, speech and especially art�and a great love of music
and all things Irish. She was an artist and taught hundreds of students to love art and the old Masters.
She was a wonderful calligrapher, and like a medieval scribe, she could patiently and painstakingly letter
words with graceful lines and dots of color with perfection. After retiring from teaching at the
College, she devoted her time to CCDprograms in Immaculate Conception Church in Tarrytown. She also
kept in touch with the Mother Butler Center in South Dakota, and the Mother Butler Guilds, which had been
one of her interests in her years at the College.
Sister Gertrude is survived by several cousins who are Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary: Sister Nora
Grace and Sister Catherine Grace both of Tarrytown, NY and Sister Francisca Grace of Rome, Italy. Her sister
Sister Albert (SEE
PREVIOUS OBITUARY), also a Religious of the Sacred Heart of
Mary, died in June 2002.
Funeral services were at Marymount Convent, Tarrytown, NY. Sister Gertrude was buried at Mt. Calvary Cemetery
in White Plains, NY.

From Geneva Gazette 16 March 1900
Mrs. Julia A. Higgins, widow of Patrick Higgins, died at the home of her son-in-law,
John Connolly, 579 Exchange street, last Tuesday, aged about 70 years. She was the daughter of
Patrick Moore, who in old times resided about opposite the house where she died. She was a cousin of D. E. Moore. Her father was one
of about a half dozen of the earliest Irish emigrants who settled in Geneva; the others whom we call to mind
were Michael Ryan, Patrick Dillon, Thomas Nevins, and her own brother, Matthew
Moore.

From Ontario Repository and Messenger 22 April 1868
SERIOUS ACCIDENT - Mr. Rody Higgins, a brakeman on Northern Central Railway, residing in this village,
was so severely injured at Penn Yan on Tuesday of last week, that he died from his injuries on Friday. He was
engaged in coupling cars, and in some manner two of them missed connecting, and caught his head between
them, a large nut on a bolt crushing into the side of his head, making an ugly wound. His funeral took place
on Sunday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of friends.

From Geneva Gazette 13 October 1876
A Sudden Death - The death of Thomas Higgins, a well-known drayman of our village, occurred last
Monday under peculiarly sad and distressing circumstances. About two months ago Mr. H. met with
an accident in being thrown out of his wagon. He fell striking his side upon a large boulder by the
roadside, causing severe internal injury which developed in an abscess. He has been steadily failing
ever since, all treatment proved unavailing. Recently a consultation of physicians was held over his case,
at which the conclusion was arrived at that a surgical examination, and possibly an operation, afforded the
only hope of cure, and without speedy relief the patient's life could be prolonged but a few days. Dr.
H. K. Clarke was the attending physician, and Dr. Dox was associated with him when about to perform the
operation. Dr. Dox put his patient under the influence of chloroform. He states that the
anaesthetic took effect with the shortest application within his experience in case of an adult. Just as
they were about to make an examination of the abscess, Dr. Clarke noticed an alarming change in the
countenance of the patient. Immediate measures were adopted to revive him, but all effort proved
unavailing. Death ensued within a few moments. The physicians attributed the fatal result to paralysis of
the heart. An inquest was held by Coroner Weyburn, but the family protested so strongly against a port
mortem examination that it was waived. Deceased was married and leaves children. Their sudden and sad
bereavement elicits universal sympathy.
