Belden [Broome Co., NY]: A gloom has cast over our community last Friday when it was learned that the Death Angel had entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Noble Nusom and claimed their only daughter, Alice Blanche, aged two and a half years, death being due to pneumonia the previous evening. She was an exceptionally winsome child and had endeared herself to all who knew her. The bereaved family have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The funeral was held from the home Sunday at 11 o'clock and was largely attended. Rev. D.W. Swetland officiated and the burial was at Sanitaria Springs [Broome Co., NY] in charge of J.A. Kark & Son....
Mrs. Grace Nusom, 68 years of age died in the Binghamton City Hospital on Monday morning of this week, where she had been taken three weeks ago from her snow-bound home on Belden Hill [Broome Co., NY] by sheriff's aides. Mrs. Nusom is a retired school teacher. Death was due to a gangrenous condition caused by freezing her legs and feet. Having kept a long vigil in her wind-swept home on very little food while waiting for the arrival of the mail carrier who came once a month with her $28 pension check, the aged teacher was in a critical condition when state troopers, welfare officers, Deputy Sheriff Walter Martin and Matron Lucille Thatcher of Broome County arrived to take her away. Mrs. Nusom's condition did not improve at the hospital and she began to fail rapidly early Sunday. [MHD notation: Feb. 17, 1936]

Mrs. Clarissa Abiah Olendorf died very suddenly Friday morning, March 7th, 1913, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Teachout on Pruyne Hill, of valvular heart trouble. She was apparently in her usual health when death summoned her. Mrs. Olendorf was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Newton and was born in West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] 82 years ago. She was married to John J. Olendorf at Coventryville December 6, 1853, Mr. Olendorf having died Aug. 2, 1902. Five daughters were born to them two of whom died several years ago, being Mrs. Herbert Donahe and Miss Josephine Olendorf. The deceased was one of a family of ten children. Her grandfather, Amasa Newton, was one of the first settlers in 1792 and locating in West Bainbridge. Clearing the land from the woods, he began the cultivation of the Newton farm which still remains in the family of his descendants. She possessed absolute unselfishness, and those who knew her regarded her as an example of splendid womanhood and will deem the absence of her influence to be a great loss to them. Up to the time of her death she maintained her usually strong mental vigor and was active and conversant with all current events and topics. Always quiet, unassuming and cheerful, she lived a lovely life beloved by all and having gone to her reward she is happy with loved ones where there is no parting or sorrow. With the exception of a short time Mrs. Olendorf spent her entire life in the town of Bainbridge. For the past 11 years she had lived with her daughter, Mrs. William Teachout.

Mrs. Mary P. Olin, of Boonville, N.Y. [Oneida Co.], daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Rice, of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY] arrived in town on Wednesday evening of last week, coming here to join with the family in celebrating the 50th anniversary of her parents' marriage. Before going to the old homestead she called on two or three acquaintances and afterwards proceeded to her old home. A goodly number of the relatives were already present, and extensive preparations had been made to make the occasion a bright and happy reunion of the family and celebrate the event in an appropriate manner. But the joy of the occasion was soon turned into sadness, for before the ceremonies of the anniversary opened, Mrs. Olin was stricken with heart failure, and death ended the scene at 11 o'clock that night. All that loving hearts and hands could do with the aid of physicians, availed naught, and on the very night of the 50th anniversary of her venerable and respected parents, the spirit of Mary P. Olin, took its everlasting flight. Mrs. Olin was a lady respected by all who knew her, and her untimely death is mourned by many outside of her immediate family. The funeral took place from the old homestead at 3 o'clock Friday afternoon, Rev. Henry E. Hubbard, officiating, and the remains were laid to rest at Sylvan Lawn [Greene, Chenango Co., NY].

In Remembrance
In our home a place is vacant,
On our lips there is a sigh
For the dear one who has left us
For a brighter home on high.
How peacefully she left us,
Even smiling in death's repose;
Past all thy pains and troubles;
Ended all earthly woes.
He who watched thy patient suffering
Said: "In Heaven thou shalt dwell,"
And we'll meet thee, dearest mother,
Where we'll never say farewell.
After a lingering illness, Jens Olesen, of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], passed away at the ago of sixty-nine, 4:00 o'clock on February 14th, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arthur Daniel Boone, Forest Hills, Long Island. He is survived by his wife, Laura Sophie; his three children, Marie Eleonora Boone, Ruth Elise and Paul Leth; his infant grandson, Jens Paul Olesen; and relatives in Denmark. The funeral services were read by Rev. G.H. Orvis of the Presbyterian Church in the Colwell Brothers' Chapel, February 17th at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The remains will have final rest in West Bainbridge Cemetery. It was Mr. Olesen's wish to be buried after death in the friendly countryside, where he had found comfort and happiness in life. Jens Olesen was born June 15, 1866, in Denmark at Resen Pr. Struer. Dec. 26, 1894, he was united in marriage with Laura Sophie Petersen, of Svendborg. Their union was blessed with four children, three surviving. Mr. Olesen came to this country in 1904 and Mrs. Olesen arrived a few months later with the two oldest children. Rudolf was taken from this world shortly after they landed in America. Twenty years ago, the family moved to Bainbridge and Mr. Olesen made this community his home until the time of his death. He was a naturalized citizen of the United States. Though he did not find much demand for his profession of cabinet maker in Bainbridge, it will be remembered that one of his helpful community efforts was constructing the interior of the Delaware & Hudson Railroad station. Mr. Olesen's health had been failing since last summer and in November, he left with Mrs. Olesen to spend the winter months in Forest Hills which had been their custom for the past few years. When Mr. Olesen's condition became critical a month ago, his son, Paul, flew from Tulsa, Oklahoma, to make a ten-day visit with his father and then returned to his work in the western oil fields. Bad weather and dangerous flying conditions prevented his presence at the funeral. Mrs. Olesen returned to New York Monday morning with her two daughters and son-in-law. Early in May she will return to Bainbridge for a month's visit with friends before making a long visit to Denmark with her brothers a sisters whom she left thirty years ago. Mr. Olesen's death will be felt by many in Bainbridge as the passing of a kind friend, respected by his acquaintances as an honest, upright citizen, who was never too busy to give a cheerful smile or a helping hand. [MHD notation: d. 1935]Mrs. Laura S. Olesen, widow of Jens Olesen, died Monday, Feb. 28, in New York City. Burial will be later at West Bainbridge. Mr. and Mrs. Olesen were former residents of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] [MHD notation: d. 1949]
