Mrs. Frank Cooper of Bainbridge is in receipt of a letter from her nephew Stephen M. Yale of Minneapolis, announcing the death of his mother, who was the wife of the late Uriah Yale of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. Mrs. Yale was living with her son at Minneapolis. We give below an extract from the letter: "Mother's illness dates back to last March. She had pleurisy and one lung filled up so that she had but little use of that for the last sixty days, however, the immediate cause of her death, was a difficulty with the kidneys and the end came Wednesday, Aug. 8th, at nine in the evening. The funeral was from our house on Friday, the 10th, at 2:30, and burial at Lakewood here in Minneapolis. Our reasons for this would be apparent to every one that has been here and visited Lakewood. Mother was born as you know in the town of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], March 31, 1826, thereby making her 80 years of age March 31st last. She had during her illness the best of care by a competent nurse as well as all the attention that both Cora and I could give her, and also the services of the best physicians; but the race was run and I am so thankful to be able to say to you that the end was most peaceful; and I am also very glad to say that during her entire illness of about five months, she suffered very little pain, and was up in her chair a part of the time three days before she died. The funeral was conducted by Rev. E.R. Pope of the Central Baptist church of this city of which she was a member, and the bearers were the deacons of this church. Our office was closed that afternoon and services were attended by the office force in a body." [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 23, 1906]
On Saturday afternoon occurred the death of Mr. John T. Haddow who for the past five years has been a most patient sufferer from locomotor ataxia. Mr. Haddow was born in Andes, Delaware county, N.Y., Aug. 13, 1840. Since 1870, he has been a resident of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], at which time, he built the Haddow block, where he resided up to the time of his death. As long as Mr. Haddow was able physically, his business was that of a Commercial traveler, going through the different parts of New York State where he made many friends through his quiet, reserved and business like manner. During the Civil War, he was a member of Co. E. 114th Regiment and served until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged. The funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon at his home on West Main street, the Reverend Mr. Carrington officiating. The interment was in Greene Lawn Cemetery [Bainbridge, NY], where the most beautiful andimpressive service of the G.A.R. was held. [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 6, 1906]
Helen McLean Campbell, wife of Burr C. Campbell, died at her home, North Main street, this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Wednesday, Aug. 29th. She had been ill only a few days, being taken Monday previous, with stomach and bladder trouble becoming very ill and remaining so until the end, enduring great suffering. Her age was 63, having been born in Guilford in 1843. She was married to her surviving husband in 1872, since which time she has resided in Bainbridge. She was a member of St. Peter's church circles. Her life was one of goodness, with admirable virtues. She was Christian like and full of kindness, possessed of the pleasant disposition which attracts people and makes friends. She had many of them who with the afflicted husband and relatives have reason to mourn and feel deeply the loss, occasioned by her death. The funeral was largely attended by relatives and friends Friday afternoon last at the home of the deceased. Rev. J.S. Shrimpton officiated. The services were pathetic. A quartet composed of Mrs. Jesse Anderson, Mrs. Frank Fletcher, Daniel Banner, and Dr. R.D.L. Evans, sang beautiful selections. The remarks made by the clergyman were touching. The bearers were J.W. Barlow, Edgar Pearsall, D.H. Copley, Frank Fletcher, Julien Corbin, of this village, and Will Sands, of Unadilla. The interment was in St. Peter's cemetery [Bainbridge, NY]. Beside the husband, two sisters and two brothers, she is survived by two step-daughters, Mrs. J.D. Bristol, of Bainbridge and Mrs. Enoch Copley, of Unadilla. [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 6, 1906]
Josiah Lyon, whose death occurred so suddenly last Saturday, was born upon the Lyon farm May 15, 1840. He enlisted in 1863 in Company K, 140th Regiment New York volunteer infantry, and served until the close of the war. He received a gun shot wound on the left forearm which confined him, for a long time, to the hospital. On his recovery, however he was able to do guard duty, and was one of the men detailed to guard the martyred Lincoln's body. In 1868 he married Miss Tabitha Johnson who died in 1880 leaving one child, Louise, now Mrs. Champion, of Cortland, N.Y. In 1882 he married Miss Antoinette Teed, of Walton. For five years they resided in the village of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], removing thence to Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY]. During a revival meeting there Mr. Lyon came forward, and joined the Presbyterian church of that place. On their removal, seven years ago, to the old homestead on the Lyon farm where his parents and grandparents had lived before him, he became with his wife a member of the Presbyterian church of this place. Subject to heart failure he was taken suddenly ill while at work, with his son, in the field on Saturday, Sept. 8th, 1906, and passed away without word or struggle. He was 66 years of age and leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. They are Mrs. Champion, Blanche, Earl and Ray. He himself was of a family of seven children, five of whom still survive. He was a man of quiet reserved disposition, and yet genial in company, and one whom the children loved. One of his prominent traits was his rugged honesty, coupled with remarkable readiness to forgive and forget. In his death, not only will his family deeply deplore his loss but the entire community lose an esteemed citizen, neighbor and friend. The funeral was held on Tuesday, Sept. 11th, 1906, at the home, Rev. W.A. Carrington officiating, who brought a message of comfort to the bereaved family from 2 Cor. 1:34. The interment was in the family plot in Union Valley [West Bainbridge, NY], where the impressive G.A.R. service was used. [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 13, 1906]
William H. Baldwin, of Otego [Otsego Co., NY], who has been gradually failing for the past few years, passed away at his home in Otego Thursday, aged 68 years. The deceased has spent his entire life in that village, with the exception of three years and six months spent in the war of 1862. Six months of this time he was in Andersonville prison. He belonged to Company K. Seventy-sixth New York volunteers. He gave up his occupation of blacksmith, owing to ill health, eighteen years ago. When his health and the weather permitted he made daily visits to all places of business in Otego, where he was always a welcome visitor. About six weeks ago his strength gave out and he was obliged to give up his visits. He was taken to his bed only one week ago gradually growing weaker until death relieved him of his suffering. He was united in marriage Sept. 23, 1870, to Miss Mollie Wells, who survives him, and four children. His funeral was held Saturday, Rev. N.B. Ripley, of Binghamton, officiating.

Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]: The death of Doctor Harvey M. Greene brings sorrow to a large circle of relative and friends in this village, and our entire community will read the announcement with regretful sadness. The deceased on the 12th inst., left Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he had established himself in the practice of medicine, and went ot New York city, intending to replenish his stock, and expecting before his return to be joined in wedlock to an estimable young lady residing in Dutchess County, the day of their expected nuptials having been already arranged. His health had been precarious for some months, and he had suffered with muscular rheumatism. After his arrival in the city he was stricken with apoplexy, and died on the 17th inst. Dr. Greene went from this place several years since, to Grand Rapids, where he had already secured a large share of confidence and esteem in his profession, and also a most respectable standing in the Medical and Surgical Society of which he was there a member. In this, the village of his birth, and where, except when attending lectures, he pursued his studies, his life was that of a close and faithful student, and his habits and character such as to inspire confidence and esteem with all who knew him. His sudden death blights the promise of a life of success and usefulness to himself and others. His funeral was attended from St. Paul's Church in Oxford on Thursday last.--Oxford Times.

Death of Walter M. Conkey--An old and respected citizen of Norwich, Chenango county, dropped dead last Sunday evening. From his youth he has been connected with the Bank of Chenango, and for the last quarter of a century its President. He had a stroke of apoplexy while winding his clock, and died almost instantly. So thoroughly and so long connected with a prominent financial institution, there was not a person in his county who did not know him, and few men in business circles in Central and Southern New York had not formed his acquaintance. He was a safe, trustworthy man, and universally respected. He had been Treasurer of the New York and Oswego Midland Railroad Company from its organization, and had, during his long and useful life, been connected with many other business and financial institutions. Few men would be so generally missed by the community in which they dwell. He was sixty seven years of age. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 4, 1873]
