Almira E., wife of Thomas Hyde, died last Friday morning at her home below the village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] of influenza, aged 81 years. Mrs. Hyde had been in feeble health for sometime but her condition had not been considered critical and her friends were shocked at the sudden closing of her life. At 6 o'clock she was lying comparatively comfortable in bed and spoke to an attendant of rising soon. An hour later her sister went to her bedside and found her lifeless with no evidence of pain on her features. The heart action was too feeble to continue. Mrs. Hyde was well known in this village forty or more years ago. She came from Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] and was a widow, her first husband, Mr. Moore, dying sometime before. She opened a millinery shop in the house now occupied by Supervisor Lyon on South Main street. She was successful in her business and made many friends. Later she married Mr. Hyde and they moved some miles from Bainbridge and after a time came to the old Hyde homestead to live where she died. Mrs. Hyde is survived, besides her husband, by one child, Edward Moore, of Afton, her first husband's child. The funeral of Mrs. Hyde was held from her late home Monday afternoon, at one o'clock, Rev. R.S. O'Dell conducting the services. Burial was in St. Peter's churchyard [Bainbridge, NY].

Frank H. Croak, loved and respected by all, has gone to an early grave. He was born in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] a little less than twenty years ago and had always lived with his aunt, Mrs. Helen Moore, whom he loved as a mother, and who cherished him as a son. He was a clean, lovable young man and a favorite with the youth of the village. His tractable disposition, and his friendly, kindly ways gave him a place in all hearts. He was sportive but not rude--manly and thoughtful to a degree that might well have characterized one far beyond his years. He will be missed for the good he did, and for the light and cheer he lent to others. He was a studious young man and was a member of the graduating class of the Bainbridge High School, 1906. It was very evident to all his friends for weeks preceding his death that all efforts to restore his health would be in vain, and that the great change was not far distant. He too, became conscious of this fact as the end drew near, and was glad to turn his thoughts toward that place whither he was hastening. During the revival of last autumn, though not able to be at the meetings, he sought and found Christ in his own home. On the seventh of December he was baptized and received as a probationer in the Methodist Episcopal church. He talked much of Christ and heaven, and at the last longed to be at rest. He seemed to think of death as the gateway to that land where sickness never comes. On Wednesday, February 6tth, about sunset he closed his eyes and "was not, for God took him." The funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church on Sunday afternoon, February 10th, by the pastor, Rev. G.E. VanWoert, assisted by the Rev. W.A. Carrington, of the Presbyterian church, in the presence of a large congregation. Many of the High School students were present in a body, accompanied by the principal, Fred W. Crumb, and his teachers. The large number in attendant at the services and the floral tributes were as silent voices telling us of the high esteem in which he was held. The remains were laid at rest in the cemetery adjoining the Episcopal church, and borne by his young friends, Harold Rogers, Leon Loomis, Ward Redfield, Lee Milis, Louis Hartman, Earl Westcott, there to await the resurrection of the just.

Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY]: Mrs. Fred Ketchum who has been sick with consumption for a long time, and continued suffering, entered into rest Thursday night. The funeral was largely attended at her late home Sunday, Rev. A.C. Dodge, of the Cong. church officiating, and the burial was in the cemetery here. Mrs. Ketchum leaves a husband to whom she had been a very devoted and helpful wife. She had no children, but was bringing up with motherly love a little boy left by a deceased sister. She was just in the prime of life, being only about 40 years of age, and apparently had much to live for, and she exerted herself to the utmost to overcome her disease and live for the sake of her family. Through all his illness she had shown great fortitude and hopefulness, but was fully resigned and ready to go when she realized she could not recover. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 21, 1907]
Afton [Chenango Co., NY]: Trapped under hundreds of pounds of snow when a snowhouse he had constructed collapsed, Floyd H. Leet, 16, of Afton suffocated Tuesday afternoon after struggling to escape from the death trap. The boy built the snowhouse several days ago, first erecting blocks of ice and then covering the structure with snow. Each day he piled the snow higher and Tuesday the added weight of the rain caused the structure to collapse after the boy had crawled in through the small door. The victim was found buried beneath the snow and ice by his father, who went to search for him about 5 o'clock. When the snow was removed, evidence was found that indicated the victim had tried to escape by digging with his hands toward the door and by attempting to push upward with his back. The weight of the ice and snow was too great, however, and he suffocated, according to the verdict of Coroner, E.L. Bennett of Bainbridge, who was called by Dr. W. Lee Dodge of Afton. He is survived by his parents, two brothers and two sisters and several uncles and aunts. The funeral will be at 1 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home. The Rev. Mr. Fredericks of Nineveh will officiate. Burial will be in Whitney Point. [MHD notation: 1931]
