Charlotta M. Richardson, wife of Irving h. Rowe, of Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY], died at her home in that place, Saturday morning, July 15, aged 31 years. Mrs. Rowe had been afflicted with Bright's disease for a number of years, and had been brought to death's door several times from its virulence but the skill of physicians and her remarkable vitality had enabled her to resist fatality. The Star says: "For the past year and a half, save for a serious affection of the eyes she had seemed quite well, her condition almost baffling the understanding of physicians. A few days since she was taken with convulsions and has failed gradually until death came. At her bedside were her husband and daughter, father and mother, to whom her many noble qualities had endeared her in ties of strongest love. Mrs. Rowe was born in England in 1868, she was the eldest daughter of Rev. and Mrs. A.B. Richardson. The family came to this country in 1873, since which time her father has been an active and successful preacher of the Methodist Episcopal church For two terms he was pastor of the local church and here the subject of this sketch grew to young womanhood. She possessed a remarkably happy and sunny disposition, lovable and friendly to all. She won the affections of Irving H. Rowe and on April 4th, 1888, they were married, and at that time, none had, apparently, brighter prospects for long and happy lives than they. In the fall of 1894, however, she was taken ill and soon symptoms of the unyielding disease made its appearance. Besides her husband, one daughter, Ethel M., and her parents Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, she is survived by two brothers, AE. Richardson esq., of Brooklyn, who occupies a confidential position with Norris & Whitehouse, the well known law firm of that city; Dr. Harry Richardson, acting assistant surgeon, U.S. Army, now supposed to be en route home with his California regiment from the Philippines, and one sister, Helen, the wife of Dr. Steadman of Hoboken, N.J. Mrs. Rowe was beloved by a large circle of friends. She was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Oneonta. The funeral was held at the family residence Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock and burial was in the Rowe plot at Riverside." The first pastorate of Rev. A.B. Richardson, father of Mrs. Rowe, was that of the Bainbridge M.E. church, which he assumed directly upon his arrival from England. His daughter, Charlotta, was then five years old.

At the funeral of James K. Wetmore, held on Friday afternoon at 2:30, at his residence on South Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], there was a large attendance, the representation of the business men of the place being conspicuous in its entirety. Citizens of all classes were present, especially young people and children for whom the dead banker had a particular affection. Mr. Wetmore was well-known in banking circles over a large area outside of Bainbridge and many came to pay their last tribute to his memory. Rev. James N. Lee of Great Bend, Pa., a former pastor of the Methodist church of Bainbridge, under whom Mr. Wetmore had served in an official capacity, and whose relations as minister and member, coadjutor and advisor in carving out projects for the advancement of the church, had become very close, inspiring a mutual regard, was the officiating clergyman. Mr. Lee's address, which embodied the sentiment, "He is not dead but sleepeth," was a beautiful exposition upon the termination of a well-rounded life, upon the services that have left a lasting record. His remarks to the friends were tender and sympathetic and spoken from the depths of a heart which was itself a mourner. The music was by members of the Methodist church choir, Messrs. Marvin Strong, George Russell and Albert Wilcox. Mr. Wetmore loved flowers passionately and the room in which the remains laid during the funeral service contained a mass of beautiful floral offerings. The bank contributed a wreath of ivy studded with white roses and buds, the church a crown composed of a variety of choice mixed flowers, Mrs. Stella A. Yale and Miss Annah Kidder of Washington, a wreath of shaded leaves and red roses, and manifold flowers in other forms and in lavish quantities presented by friends and neighbors, were everywhere visible. The bearers were six young men towards whom Mr. Wetmore had the feeling of a parent: Ralph W Kirby and Seba B. Hollenbeck now engaged in the bank, and John R Kirby, Clarence Kirby, George Whitman and Harrison L. Beatty, ...The interment was in the burying ground of the Episcopal church. The bank was instituted in 1882 and Mr. Wetmore has had influential interest in it from its inception down to the morning of his death, Wednesday of last week. the entrance to the bank is draped in mourning and will continue so for thirty days.....[Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 9, 1899]
Edward Hitchcock, a man of 35 or 40 years of age, was killed and horribly mangled by the cars in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] yesterday morning, Tuesday at 7 a.m. He was badly under the influence of liquor and was standing upon the Main street crossing as an up freight train was backing down. He was called to get out of the way but seemed to be unable to do so and was knocked down and dragged under the cars quite a distance below. His body was terribly broken up....The remains were taken to the undertaking rooms. It is supposed he had no friends and was without money.

The funeral services of Robert Yale, late of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], ... were held at the family residence, in that place, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Thursday the remains were brought to Afton for burial, Rev. W.H. Scudder, who conducted the services at the house, also officiated at the grave. In speaking of the death of Mr. Yale the Norwich Telegraph says: "Mr. Yale had been in his usual health and about the house all day Sunday, and when his daughter went to call him Monday morning he was nearly speechless. Dr. Ormsby was hurriedly summoned, but could give no relief, and he gradually failed until the end came. Mr. Yale came to Norwich from Afton about 17 years ago, since which time he has resided here. He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Miss Nellie Yale, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement."
Gilbert Cooper died at 10 o'clock last night of heart failure at the home of his son, Mr. Lester Cooper at 36 River street. Gilbert Cooper was born in Guilford, Chenango county, NY. and came to Cortland county January 2, 1860. He has lived on his farm about a mile and a half from the village on the Truxton road until about three years ago when, on account of the failing health of both himself and wife, he rented the farm and moved to his son's home He has always lived a quiet unpretentious life. He suffered a shock of paralysis several weeks ago from which he has never rallied and which was the indirect cause of his death He leaves a wife, who has been his constant companion for fifty-three years. Mrs. Cooper is now in a very critical condition from dropsy, with which she has been suffering for a number of months. During the earlier part of Mr. Cooper's illness they were both cared for in one room where they could converse and sympathize with each other, but later Mr. Cooper has been delirious much of the time and it was deemed better to remove Mrs. Cooper to another room. It is believed that the separation of husband and wife can be but for a few days at most, as the death of Mr. Cooper, though expected and looked for, has been a great shock to his wife, and she is today much worse. For several days it had been a question as to which would go first.
