Obituary
F. H. Filkins, Formerly Of East Berne, Dies
On February 5, 1936 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Schuler in Schenectady, Fred H. Filkins entered into rest, aged 75 years.
Born on Filkins Hill, the only son of Hiram Filkins and his wife, Susanah Deitz, most of his life was spent on the country-side associated for generations with the family name. Early in his married life the death of his wife left him with, six young children, and with them he returned to the family home. His devoted care of his motherless family was ably seconded by the loving tenderness of his own parents. With the passing of the years the sons and daughters established homes of their own, and only the youngest daughter remained with her father and aged grandmother. Some twenty-five years ago, Mr. Filkins purchased a home in East Berne, where he removed with his mother and daughter. For many years blind and helpless, Mrs. Filkins was ever the object of the most- solicitous and devoted attention from her son and granddaughter. After her death in 1917, only two remaianed in the family, and an unusual bond of affectionate sympathy existed between the father and daughter. For years in failing health, Mr. Filkins received in turn the faithful and loving service he had so constantly given.
A member of the Lutheran church at East Berne, and one of its most loyal supporters, he will be greatly missed in that place. A man of Christian training and character, his life was a witness for the faith he professed. The funeral services was held at the church on Friday, and the Rev. H. M. Mohr of Schenectady officiated. Burial was at South Berne cemetery.
He leaves two daughters, Mrs. Henry Schuler of Schenectady and Mrs. Alice Rendeau of Albany; three sons, A. J. Filkins, of Schenectady, Luther Filkins of Highlands, and F. H. Filkins of South Berne, also ten grand children, and two great grandchildren. These have the sincere sympathy of many friends in their home communities.
