"Crip" Clark Meets Tragic Death.  Run Over by the Pusher at Nineveh Junction Sunday Evening and Looses His Life.  The sudden and shocking death on Sunday evening of "Crip" Clark of this village caused a sensation in our midst and a gloom spread throughout the community when the accident was announced.  William Clark, commonly called and known by his friends as "Crip" occupied the first floor of the old Brown block, using the front room as a shoe shop and the rear part as living rooms.  Being a bachelor, Mr. Clark was living alone "keeping house" by  himself.  On Sundays his custom had been for some time to take dinner at the Centre Village hotel.  Sunday he went to Centre Village, a distance of one mile, and returning he started to go around by Nineveh Junction and took the evening train for that place, calculating to come to Harpursville depot and then by the 'buss to the village.  It was about seven o'clock when he reached the junction.  Not wishing, it is supposed, to wait for the eight o'clock train, and as pusher No. 801 was passing to push an extra freight up the grade, he attempted to get on to ride as far as Harpursville [Broome Co., NY].  He caught hold of the rail but failed to hold on and was drawn under the engine, the wheels cutting off both legs about six inches from the body.  He was carried to the baggage room where he died in a few minutes.  The loss of blood and nervous shock did the work.  A number of years ago he sustained an injury which required an amputation of one leg, and at the time of his death was wearing a cork leg.  The body was taken by Undertakers J.A. Kark & Son to their rooms in the village and his brother, Fred Clark, living in Binghamton, was notified.  The funeral was held yesterday at 10:30 A.M. from the Baptist church, Rev. R.R. Anstan of the Methodist church officiating, with burial in the Harpursville cemetery [Broome Co., NY].  Friends and neighbors gave the departed due respect in attending the funeral.  The deceased had no relatives in town but had been known by many for years.  The principal floral offering was a large pillow, beautiful and fragrant, from his friends in the village.  Upon a purple ribbon was the inscription, "To our friend."  [MHD notation:  d. April 1912]

Andrew Clendenning was born in Chenango county October 7, 1848, and died at his home in Belden [Broome Co., NY] Feb. 29, 1904.  He was married to Miss Florence Andrews August 20, 1872.  Besides his wife he leaves two sons, Earl and Star, and one daughter, Maud, to mourn the loss of a kind husband and father.  Mr. Clendenning has been sick since last September with lung disease.  He was converted during his sickness.  The night before his death he said to his wife "lets lie down and go to sleep, to-morrow night I shall sleep with Jesus."  Only a few moments before his death he asked his wife to repeat the Lrod's Prayer with him.  Funeral services Wednesday at the church, Rev. Platt Thompson officiating.  Interment in the Pratt Cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY], J.A. Kark funeral director.

The death of Iva Della, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Clendening, occurred at their home on Pumpkin Hill, [Coventry, Chenango Co.., NY] Wednesday, October 9th, of cholera infantum.  The funeral was held Friday afternoon at the home with burial in the New Ohio Cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY].  Rev. Wm. Webb of Coventry officiated and Undertakers J.A. Kark & Son had charge of the remains.  [MHD notation:  d. 1912]

James E. Clendening, who has been in poor health since the death of his little grandson, Guy Luie Clendening, passed away June 1, 1903, at 1:00 a.m. at his home in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] of apoplexy, age 73 years.  It has been but a few weeks since death entered the home and took from them the oldest child.  Little did we think that death was so near us again, but it is with thankful hearts we know he is with Jesus; as he said he longed for the time to come when he too would enter the haven of rest God has prepared for those that love and serve him.  He was possessed of noble Christian principles and displayed great courage, and unswerving faith in his Heavenly Father.  He was a kind and affectionate husband and father, and had friends wherever he was known.  He will be greatly msised by his family, who are wiling to submit to God and say:  "Thy will be done."  It is the third time death has entered the family within a year.  "They are going down the valley one by one."  It will not be long before they will be a united family again, if they have faith in God and do his will.  He leaves a wife and six children: Miss Olive Clendening, at home; Mrs. J.E. Harris, of Tunnel; Mrs. W.F. Lange, of Ouaquaga; Mrs. J.R. Stevens, of Occanum; Mrs. T.A. Tuttle, of Lestershire; also R.G. Clendening, of Harpursville.  The family thank the kind friends who assisted in the singing, also those that furnished flowers. 

Died, at the Clendenning home, Pumpkin Hill, town of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], Saturday evening at six o'clock, Dec. 28, Mrs. Ida Tuttle, wife of Reuben Clendening, aged 30 years.  Mrs. Clendening was at the time of her death a Budget correspondent, and had been for a number of years, even before her marriage.  The funeral was held from the home Tuesday afternoon, Dec. 31st at one o'clock, Rev. William Webb of Coventry officiating, with burial in the New Ohio cemetery [Colesville, Broome Co., NY] under the direction of J.A. Kark & Son.  The deceased is survived by the husband and two children, a son and daughter.  [MHD notation:  d. 1912]
