All who knew the late Charles N. Stow, editor and proprietor of the Deposit Courier, who died at his home inn Deposit [Delaware Co., NY], last week, speak kindly of him. For nearly thirteen years the writer was employed as foreman and manager of his printing house in that village, and it is my opinion that no man ever made a sturdier effort to live up to the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," than he did; and his aim in this direction, together with his great kindness of heart, made him a power for material and substantial helpfulness in the community in which he spent his life. His charity for all was unbounded; his spirit of progressiveness led him to respond cheerfully and liberally to all demands for beneficence and public improvements, and in all of his own affairs he kept abreast of the age in which he lived. He was an exceedingly kind and indulgent husband and father; he was good to his kindred, considerate of his employees and exemplary as a citizen, neighbor and friend. Because of these sterling qualities and admirable traits of character, his life was in no respect a failure, and the world was made better by his honest and earnest pursuit of high aims and noble purpose.

She was taken with a neuralgic attack of the heart Wednesday night, Oct. 29, and her daughter, at that time in Bainbridge, was sent for. From that time till the hour of her death, Tuesday morning, she was an uncomplaining sufferer, so uncomplaining that no one save herself realized that the end was so near. The last night of her life was one of acute suffering and those who loved her could not but be glad when the agony and waiting ceased. Mrs. Payne was born in Binghamton August 13, 1850 and was the only daughter of Louis Carrington. Her childhood and young womanhood was passed in Connecticut and in and around Binghamton. In 1880 she was married to Harrison Warren Payne of Maine, Broome Co.
