A Death the Result of Unadilla Flood: Mrs. Harriet Fink lost her life indirectly as a result of the flood. She was at the home of her daughter, Mrs. A.D. Oles, and has been ill for nearly a year from spinal and nervous troubles. The rush of the water and excitement of the flood disturbed her greatly causing delirium. She was left sleeping quietly early yesterday morning and unobserved left her room and wandered from the house. Being missed a short time later she was found in five or six inches of water at the edge of Martin Brook, which flows at the rear of the Oles home. A bad bruise on the forehead indicated that she had fallen where found, striking her head on a stone, which in her weak condition caused death. Mrs. Fink was 68 years of age and had been a resident of Unadilla for twenty-eight years--Unadilla Times [Bainbridge Republican, July 30, 1903]
Mrs. Jerome Harris was found dead in bed this morning by her husband. Mr. Harris is employed as night watchman at the Bainbridge Creamery Company's plant. He returned to his home on East Main street, only a few houses distant from the creamery, at six o'clock this morning and going to his room made the discovery.
