Rev. Philip Bartlett, a superannuated member of the Wyoming Conference, and a former minister of the M.E. church of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], died Saturday, June 17th, at his home in Astoria, Long Island, aged 86 years. Mr. Bartlett came from England when a young man and joined the itinerary of the Methodist church in 1838. He was assigned to the Bainbridge circuit in 1843. At that period the circuits comprised a large area of territory and the Bainbridge charge required four weeks for Mr. Bartlett to cover it. He was resolute, determined and intensely loyal to Methodism and filled his mission in this field with ability. He continued in the ministry until failing health obliged him to retire. Although Mr. Bartlett was released from active service in the conference he did not fail each spring to journey thitherward to be present at its sessions. He attended this spring in Kingston, Pa., and addressed the conference impressively. His appearance and bearing of "The Old Soldier of the Cross" were happily remarked upon by his brethren of the conference. Mr. Bartlett visited Bainbridge occasionally, generally upon his return trips from conference. He was called here, however, in March of 1898, which proved his last coming. The occasion was the death of his sister, Mrs. Jane Banner, mother of Mrs. S.J. Hollenbeck. William and Daniel Banner. The funeral was held in Trinity church, Long Island City, Monday evening, June 19, and interment was made at Woodlawn Tuesday. [Bainbridge Republican, June 28, 1899]
Edward Dibble was drowned three miles below Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] at one o'clock Monday afternoon. Dibble and Arthur Darrow left Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], their home, in a boat. They were intending to go to Washington, camping out along. They passed through Oxford on Saturday last and camped over Sunday about three miles below town. Darrow was on shore and Dibble was in the boat in the middle of the river fishing. Darrow happened to notice Dibble lying down with his head over the side of the boat and under water. On wading out he found him dead. Dibble lived in Norwich with no particular employment. He was quite a famous ball player at one time when he caught "Teddie" Bourland. He was a keeper at Sing Sing prison for several years and was keeper there when the murderer Tom Palister escaped and was afterwards found dead. It is supposed that he was attacked by a fit, causing his head to fall into the water. [Bainbridge Republican, June 28, 1899]
