Friday of last week, about 12 o'clock, the body of Chas. T. Joslin, was found hanging in the wagon house, on a rafter, on a farm owned by Thos. W. Harrington, in this town, near the Coventry line [Chenango Co., NY], with life extinct, but body still warm. He had been working all the morning about the farm, and had gone to the wagon house, fastened the door, and then took an apple crate upon which he stood, and placing the rope in position, stepped off. The farm dog was with him and was found tied with a rope within ten feet of the body. Joslin is said to have been a man of peculiar disposition, was a great reader, and as is an unusual thing for a farmer, he was a subscriber of six different papers. He was 45 years of age and unmarried. Coroner L.P. Blair, of McDonough, was summoned, and in company with Dr. Geo. D. Johnson, of this village, made an examination of the body on Saturday, and deemed an inquest unnecessary. [MHD notation: d. Dec. 29, 1899]

On January 7, 1911, there passed away at Tunnel in the county of Broome, state of New York, Theodore C. Kasson, who had reached the age of seventy-one in May of the past year. Mr. Kasson was born in Suffield, Conn., but came to Colesville at a very early age. When twenty-four he married Harriet Beardsley, youngest daughter, Seba and Rhoda Beardsley of Coventry, N.Y., and a sister of the Rev. O.R. Beardsley. The early days of their marriage was saddened by the loss of their first two children who died within a few hours of each other. Later there came two other little ones, a son and daughter, the latter being privileged to care for and comfort the father in his last days in the old homestead. The deceased and his devoted wife united with the Universalist church about forty years ago, and although there was no place of worship of their faith for miles about, they observed the service faithfully in their own home, Mr. Kasson reading from the ritual of the church and as late as December 28th of the year past he had rendered the service for the day. Tenacious as he was to the faith of old, he firmly believed in the unity of all faiths working as one to uplift the common cause of human helpfulness. He rejoiced in its advent and was an earnest exponent of its virtues. This sturdy old man, type of the passing generation and model for the coming one, was a gallant Christian soldier to the last although suffering and crippled. He lived long, he wrought well, and died leaving the precious heritage to his bereaved family, of a memory filled with human kindness, faith and tolerance. Mr. Kasson was survived by his wife; one son, Roscoe; one daughter, Bernice, the wife of Edwin Holcomb, and their children, Clifford and Rhea.
