Masonville: Mrs. Adaline McKinnon died at her residence Friday morning, Dec. 24th, aged 61 years. She has been a great sufferer for many years. She was confined to her bed about eight months ago by a shock of apoplexy, lying in that condition until she was entirely worn out. She has been a woman of great endurance and vitality. Her husband died sixteen years ago leaving a large family of children on her hands to care for. Being obliged to attend to the interest of the farm and cares of the family, has shown her more able in the management of finances than hundreds of the stronger sect. The family has lost a good counselor, an affectionate and kind mother. [Bainbridge Republican, Dec. 1881]
On Friday night, Jan. 4th, 1907, the death of a most estimable citizen of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], LaVerne Ferris, occurred at his home on Pruyn Hill, aged 41 years. His was a most pitiful case. He was a young man, industrious, upright in business with an ambition to succeed, and had the confidence of the people, but slowly the seeds of consumption began within the past year to make an inroad upon his naturally delicate constitution and his decline grew rapid since last fall. Mr. Ferris was sanguine that he could be benefited by a removal to a warmer climate and with his family he went two months ago to Richmond, Va., to spend the winter. His disease however soon took an unfavorable turn and his physician there advised the wife to take him home immediately to Bainbridge as it would please him best to die among his friends. Mr. Ferris wanted to live but became reconciled and talked calmly of his death and advised his family what to do when he was gone. His end was calmly peaceful. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Jesse Harvey, of Bainbridge, and one daughter, Cecil; a sister, Mrs. Fred Meade, of Guilford, and half-sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Harrington, of Richmond, Va., The funeral was held on Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Rev. G.E. VanWoert officiating. The singers were the Messrs. Bentley and Wilcox and the Misses VanWoert and Cartledge. The bearers were Messrs. Apply, Burrows, Andrews, Hartman, Partridge and Redfield. There were many flowers consigned with the coffin to the grave....[Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 10, 1907]

Charles B. Moore died very suddenly at the residence of his son, W.H. Moore, in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], Sept. 19, 1896, in the 82d year of his age. Deceased was in his usual good health and after partaking of dinner with the other members of the family, he, as was his custom, sat down to read. After a time he fell asleep. about half an hour before he died he awoke, conversed with the family and slept again. Mrs. Ward Moore, who was at work in the room, heard him making an unusual noise in breathing and called for assistance, but though loving hands did all they could, life was soon extinct.

In 1841 he was married to Harriet N. Dodge. This union was blessed with one child, Ward H. Moore, with whom he had found a pleasant home since the death of his wife, ten years ago. He was a great reader and took more than a passing interest in the discussions of the present time, and though he never sought political preferment he was chosen by his townsmen to different offices, all of which he filled with credit and ability. He was of a very social disposition and a great favorite with young people, even in old age, and was universally respected, as was evidenced by the large attendance at his funeral and the long line of teams which followed his remains to their last resting place in the cemetery at Oxford. He had been a respected member of the Episcopal church of Oxford for many years, the Rev. E.W. Colloque officiating at his funeral, which took place the 22d inst.
