The deceased was the oldest business man in Sidney having opened his drug store in 1867. [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 9, 1902]
Alta Yale Gridley was born January 23, 1877, on the Chester Yale farm in Yaleville. She was married to Mr. Hobart L. Gridley, November 12, 1898. She departed this world to become the resident of a better country, September 26, 1902, at Kensington hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., whither she had gone for an operation, accompanied by her husband. The funeral service was held at her late home, the place known as the Lewis Taylor farm, and a very large concourse of people came together for the service. The very high esteem in which she was held was evidenced in the fact that nearly fifty teams formed the procession to the beautiful Yaleville cemetery [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY] where her body was interred. The service was in charge of her pastor, Rev. C.M. Olmstead. Mrs. Gridley was happily converted in the winter of 1894, and the same year united with the Guilford M.E. church. Though the scripture is true that "her sun is gone down while it is yet day," yet we believe that it has only set to shine on another and brighter horizon. Though we shall miss her in the church militant we shall hope and live to meet her in the glorious church triumphant. [Bainbridge Republican, Oct. 9, 1902]

William J. Davis an old and respected citizen and pioneer of Michigan, died at his home in Unionville, Mich., Sunday morning, October 19, 1902. He was confined to his bed one week. Mr. Davis had suffered for sometime from cancer of the tongue, but being of an ambitious temperament, had followed his business, that of moving buildings, up to his last illness--a few days prior to his death. On Saturday evening he returned to his home from work, ate his evening meal as usual and retired immediately to bed, remarking that he felt tired, and during the night he became violently ill. A physician was called who prescribed for him, and as he continued to grow worse other doctors were summoned but all medical aid was of no avail. William J. Davis was born in the town of Bainbridge, Chenango Co., N.Y., April 13, 1829, where he grew to manhood and followed the occupation of farming. February 16, 1853, he was united in marriage with Malinda A. Covey and three children were born to them: viz., two sons, Wm. Jr., and Charles deceased, and one daughter, Mrs. Cora Schad, with whom the father lived when he died. In 1856, Mr. Davis moved with his family to Michigan and located in Sebwaing, where with his brother-in-law, Allen Brewer, he ran a saw and grist mill for several years. Thirty-five years ago he moved to the farm about two and one-half miles east and north of town, and while residing here Mrs. Davis died, which was twenty-five years since. Mr. Davis has lived in the village of Unionville nineteen years and had given up his time mostly to the moving of buildings, a business he had followed for forty years. He was well-off financially and was one of the substantial and highly esteemed citizens of the place and sought for by his fellow townsmen to fill public offices in the town, one of which was to serve on the Board of Education. Mr. Davis was extremely devoted to his family and as a husband and father was most affectionate. The loss of his wife he felt most keenly and had never recovered from the grief it caused him. His funeral was held at the Baptist church, the Wednesday following his death, at 11 o'clock, a.m., and the officiating clergyman was Rev. D.W. Leonard of Argyle. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Burial was near his former home Sebwaing. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 6, 1902]
