Mrs. Elizabeth Fleming, wife of A.E. Cuyle, died Sunday evening at her home on East Main street, this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co.,, NY] aged fifty-two years. Mrs. Cuyle had suffered from ill health for a number of years which terminated in consumption. Her sickness was a long and weary one, but she was cared for most assiduously by her husband, and mother, Mrs. Philadelphia Pierce of Monticello, who had been with her for seven months. Mrs. Cuyle had lived in Walton [Delaware Co., NY] and she married Mr. Cuyle there in 1872. They came to Bainbridge to live four years ago. Besides her husband and mother, Mrs. Cuyle leaves two sons, George H., and Wm. E. Cuyle; a brother, Chas. Fleming of Sidney, and three sisters, Mrs. Harriet Fuller of Monticello; Mrs. Loretta Smith of Rock Valley, and Mrs. Matilda Vail of Wellsboro. The funeral was held from the home Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Crompton officiating. Burial was in Green Lawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY].

Mrs. Emily J., wife of Smith Patterson, died at her home in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] May 22. She had been in failing health for a long time; but for the past several weeks she seemed much improved and her many friends were greatly shocked at hearing of her sudden death. Mrs. Patterson was born August 16, 1839. Her parents were Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Lloyd of Downsville, Delaware county, where her early life was spent. She was married Dec. 27, 1864 and three years later moved to Coventry with her family where she has since resided. She is survived by her husband, one son, Arthur, of Sidney, and one daughter, H. Mae Patterson who remained at home and tenderly cared for her mother during her long illness. The deceased was a consistent member of the M.E. church in Coventry for thirty years. To honor the Savior in all the relations which she sustained here, was her peculiar ambition. As a wife, a mother, as a member of the church, she was greatly beloved and confided in as a safe counselor. The precious interests of Zion were very dear to her heart, and while her presence seemed so necessary and important in the domestic circle and in the church, the Savior has called her to a higher and better life. Although so strongly bound by earthly ties, her heart swelled with deep emotion at her thought of entering those blessed portals where pain and weariness are forever excluded. While the withering hand of disease was gradually crushing her frail body the Savior appeared increasingly precious. She felt safe and happy in his love and remarked to a friend shortly before her death "I am ready any time." She seemed to have the full assurance that for her to die would be unspeakable vain. Her victory over the sting of death and the gloom of the grave was complete. Leaning upon the bosom of her God she sank peacefully to rest without a groan or struggle.
