1637. Mary L. Meader (1817 – 1888)

Mary L. Meader, daughter of Levi Meader (b.1772) [0071] and Eunice Meader (1777-1834) [1406], was born in Lincoln, Vermont about 1817 and died in Boston, MA March 22, 1888. December 4, 1837 she married Russell W. Nye, son of Zenas Nye and Katherine Woodruff. He was born at Westford, VT April 28, 1815 and died in Vergennes, VT October 13, 1879. He was a marble dealer.

The children of Mary Meader and Russell Nye were:
i. Louise Juanita Nye, born January 22, 1839 in Vergennes.
She married:

1)     Lewis Collins. They had a daughter.

2)     Frank Churchill in 1881. They lived in New York City.

ii. Cora Kate Nye, born July 27, 1856 and died February 24, 1874.
iii. George Russell Nye, born January 29, 1848 in Vergennes and died April 12, 1888 in Boston. His wife, Mary E. Nye, died April 14, 1888 and their only child, Georgiana Nye, born March 28, 1888, died April 20, 1888. Since Mary L. Meader was apparently living with her son when she died, the entire household was wiped out between March 22 and April 20, 1888, presumably by a contagious disease.
