Leonard S. Aylesworth, eighteen years old, was drowned near his home in this town of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY], Sunday. His body was found Monday morning in Jackson pond, which is situated between New Berlin and King Settlement. Young Aylesworth left home Sunday at 2 o'clock, p.m. to go in search of wintergreens. When he didn't return at night it was supposed he had gone to spend the night with a relative. As he didn't appear Monday morning, a search was made and his body was found in the pond near the shore. It is thought that he went in bathing and as he could not swim he got into deep water and could not help himself. The unfortunate young man was the son of Frank and Laura Aylesworth, was of good character and well likes. [Bainbridge Republican, July 9, 1903]

Jesse Dalton, nineteen years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Dalton of Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY], was drowned in the Chenango river where the Lackawanna crosses the stream below the village of Sherburne, last Friday forenoon. Young Dalton had gone to the swimming hole with Jack Wild, Ralph Doane of Binghamton, and Roland Roberts, for the purpose of leaning to swim. He was for awhile in the Binghamton State hospital and had been acting rather queerly for a time recently. Dalton could not swim, and although the water was not more than six feet deep, he was in trouble. Doane got him out of the water and upon the bank, but with strange persistency Dalton went back into the stream. The other boy was by that time somewhat exhausted, but tried to help him out a second time. The drowning boy, who was much the larger of the two grabbed at him and Doane was obliged to leave him to save the life of either. Dalton soon sank and the frightened boys ran to the milk station and telephoned to Norwich for assistance. The body was recovered and Dr. Little and Undertaker Carrier did everything possible to resuscitate the young man, but they were unable to restore animation. [Bainbridge Republican, July 16, 1903]

The patient lay down by the roadside and the entire household tried to administer relief, while doctors were summoned by telephone but before fifteen minutes had elapsed Mr. Phillips was dead. He had long been afflicted with heart disease and the physician, who came too late to be of any assistance declared that to be the cause of death.

The sad news of the death of Dr. H.D. Copley, of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], reached Afton Monday, and many were the expressions of sadness from his wide circle of friends and acquaintances in this place. Dr. Copley had been in poor health for several years past, but about one week previous to his death he was taken much worse, and not withstanding the fact that everything was done for his comfort, he passed away Monday last. The deceased was a man universally liked and highly respected. Being of a kind and cheerful disposition he readily made friends, and in Bainbridge where he was, perhaps, best known and his worth more highly appreciated, nothing but the deepest sympathy is expressed by everyone. The deceased leaves a wife, an aged father and mother, and one brother, D.H. Copley. His age was 45 years. The sympathy of the community goes out to them in their great bereavement. The funeral will be held from St. Peter's Church Bainbridge, this afternoon at three o'clock. [Notation: Dr. Herman Dunbar Copley 1851-1896, buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Bainbridge, NY]

In Afton [Chenango County, NY], July 11th, Mrs. Abigal H. Post, aged 65 years, 6 months and 5 days. The deceased had been a great but patient sufferer for many long years and her death had been anticipated many times; but in the providence of God she was permitted to live many years. Her complaint was asthma, and it ended her days. For a few days before her demise she had one of her many poor turns, but apparently no worse than she had been many times before. On the night of her death her husband had lain down and had fallen asleep, and thus, while her family were resting for a short time, in the silence of the night her spirit passed apparently without a struggle to God who gave it. She united with the Baptist Church in middle life and for thirty-five years had maintained a consistent Christian walk. For many years she has been a member of the West Bainbridge Church. Many times in the midst of her great sufferings she would say: "I am bearing my own infirmities but Christ bore the sins of us all." Thus was Christ to her all and in all, and his atoning death her only dependence. Of her it can be truly said, "The memory of the just is blessed." Her funeral was largely attended, and the Rev. E.M Blanchard of Bainbridge, preached from the words, "Fear not ye," Matt. 28:5. May God comfort those that mourn. [Bainbridge Republican, July 15, 1871]
