The funeral of Paul French who met with a tragic death while hunting in the Adirondacks last week Thursday was held at his home here Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The funeral was private, only intimate friends and members of the American Legion attending. All day Monday flags in front of business places were at half mast. Rev. Landmesser officiated and burial was at Afton [Chenango Co., NY]. A news item from Forestport, Oct. 30, speaks of the accident as follows: Paul M. French, 33, Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], was fatally wounded at 10 o'clock Thursday morning by his brother-in-law while hunting in the Adirondack woodlands about 18 miles from this village. French was shot when he came in line with a bullet fired at a deer sighted by his brother-in-law. The man lived for 20 minutes after being shot. His body was taken to the State House on the west side of North Lake, a mile from where the tragedy occurred. The man had planned on the hunting trip for several months, Coroner James W. Graves of Herkimer issued a statement of accidental death, after investigating the case. The body did not arrive in Forestport until night, it being necessary to go 18 miles into the woods and bring the body there by truck, due to the muddy condition of the mountain roads. French, who is a member of the American Legion, was hunting in the Adirondacks with his companions, David Lewis, Clyde and Welland Hitchcock, Millard Axtell, Alton Ellis, George Foster, Oria Howland, George Burton and Lee Harrignton. The deceased was born in Afton, December 28, 1897, son of the late Charles and Harriet French. He was an expert mechanic and during the World War served on a transport in the United States Navy. Surviving are his widow of Bainbridge; a brother, Kenneth of Oneonta; and a sister, Mrs. Warren Corbin, of Bennetsville. [MHD notation: d. Oct. 29, 1931]
On the 21st of Feb. 1896, at the residence in this village where for more than 21 years he and his faithful wife had resided, Benjamin F. Furlow in the 61st year of his age, passed to his reward. The deceased was born in the town of Aurilius, Cayuga Co., early in life removed to the vicinity of Greene, Chenango co., and has resided in these localities almost continuously since that time. At the age of 27 he was united in Marriage with Miss Jane Shay, of Colesville, N.Y., and the union continued to be a most happy one until it was so lately broken off in death. Mr. Furlow responded to the call of his country for volunteers during the late war and spent three very eventful years in the defence of the cause of freedom. He was engaged in some of the most eventful battles of the war and never tired of relating those thrilling experiences. One of the last conversations he ever held with his pastor was upon these topics. At the time of his death he was the honored chaplian of the Isaac Mills Ely Post, No. 662, who attended the funeral in a body and conferred upon the remains military honor. At the age of 16, Mr. Furlow was converted and affiliated himself with the M.E. Church with which he continued to be a faithful and consistent member until the day of his death. Few churches can boast of members whose very life is more thoroughly bound up in the temporal and spiritual welfare of the organization than was that of Bro. Furlow in the success of the M.E. Church at Chenango Forks. It was his life. He was sexton and served many years practically without pay while giving liberally to every worthy enterprise. His services were hardly appreciated while he lived, but now that he is gone how seriosuly is he missed. The deceased leaves beside a wife, two daughters; Mrs. Mettie Trafford and Mrs. Anna Palmer, both of theis place. Two brothers, Charles Furlow, of Chenango Forks, and H.N. Furlow, of Greene. And a very large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss.
"We shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There willbe one vacant chair.
We shall linger to caress him
When we breathe our evening prayer"
Rev. F.J. Jones
