A Dusenbery Clan


The spelling of the Dusenbery name varies - Dusenbury, Dusenberry, Duzenbury - so forgive me in advance for discrepancies that might be confusing!

Lorenzo Dusenbery was the son of John John Dusenbury & Adelia Meriah Eldridge. He married a girl named Ormacinda Easton, the daughter of Charles M Easton & Sarah Fitch and they had 2 children - Emma & Newton.
Ancestry/Family Search Probate Records

Based on this probate entry from Wayne County, Minutes, Orders, Decrees, Vol M, 1874-1879, I was able to confirm that Lorenzo died in 1879. Trees on ancestry have the specific date of death as  16 Mar 1879.

Ormacinda died in 1923 and I believe both are buried at the Glenside Cemetery with the rest of their family. 

Port Byron Chronicle, Sat, 10 Feb 1923
The funeral of Mrs Ormacinda Dusenbery was held from the home of her son, Newton E Dusenbury, Sunday, January 27th. Mrs Dusenbury was 85 years of age, the daughter of Mr and Mrs Charles Easton and her birthplace near Red Creek. She came to Wolcott over thirty years ago. Although not a strong woman, she was quite active until last Christmas eve, when she fell in her room while retiring for the night, and broke her hip. She was a good Christian woman with decided ideas of right and wrong. She is survived by one son, N E Dusenbery of Wolcott, and four grandchildren. Her daughter, Mrs Emma Wolvin died last year.

Emma M Dusenbery married Alfred Frank Wolven, the son of David A Wolven  & u/k first wife - he is not the son of Lucenia Watson who David married in 1867 (Wolven is also found as Wolvin). Emma & Alfred had 2 children Edna Alida & Eva Lena. Alfred & Emma died within 7 months of each other.

Mrs Emma Wolven Dies Of Strangulated Hernia
Mrs Emma M Wolven died at her home in Main Street at 830 pm last Thursday, of strangulated hernia, aged 58 years, 3 months and 9 days. Her death came as a great surprise to all who knew her - perhaps as a greater surprise to them than to herself, for she had predicted for some time that she would go suddenly and before a great while. She was prostrated recently by pneumonia, but had recovered from that and was down on the street only a couple of days before her death. But she had long suffered from hernia, and when a renewed crisis came from this disease, she did not have strength to withstand the attack, but passed away in a short time. Mrs Wolven was a daughter of the late Lorenzo Dusenbery, and was born Sept 6, 1863. Most of her life was spent in this section, either near Red Creek or in or near this village. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs Ira Foster, and Mrs John Wyatt; her aged mother, Mrs Ormacinda Dusenberry, and her brother, Newton E Dusenbery, all of this village. The funeral was held at 2 pm Sunday, the Rev S G Houghton officiating, with interment in Glenside Cemetery. The display of flowers was remarkable, both in quantity and variety.
