The death of Aurelius C. Pratt occurred at his home in this village Saturday afternoon at 8 o'clock, aged 70 years. Mr. Pratt had been confined to the house for six months suffering more or less with no prospect of recovery. Wednesday night of last week he received a stroke of paralysis from which he did not rally, though he was conscious most of the time and strove by broken words and gestures to communicate with his family. Mr. Pratt was born in W. Poultney, Vt., and lived with his parents until he went to Fort Edward, N.Y., to learn the trade of moulding. He worked for a time in Troy, and was considered one of the finest moulders employed in that city. In 1850 he came to Bainbridge and was foreman for Moses Burgess in the first foundry established in the place. The plant was situated just beyond the Burgess home, now occupied by Arvine Ireland at the upper end of West Main st. Mr. Pratt remained with Mr. Burgess until he died and when the business passed into the hands of Don A. Gilbert, he continued work until the building burned down. Later Mr. Gilbert erected a new plant upon Johnson street and Mr. Pratt resumed his former position., fire coming again after a short term of years. Then followed the first Sled Factory building constructed by Mr. Gilbert, in which were iron works and where Mr. Pratt held his old place. But fire came the third time and like a destroying Nemesis wrought ruin throwing a host out of work and Mr. Pratt among them. Fourteen years ago, Mr. Pratt removed to Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] and engaged in foundry work there for three years and then returned to Bainbridge. Since then feeble health has obliged him to forego active labor. The deceased embraced Christianity when sixteen years of age and became attached to the Baptist denomination. He came to Bainbridge before the formation of a Baptist society in the village but his allegiance was so strong to the church of his youth, that he often walked on pleasant Sundays to West Bainbridge, a distance of several miles, to attend Baptist service. When the church was founded in Bainbridge, thirty years ago, he was one of its charter members and labored gratuitously, and actively with his own hands, to build the edifice. His devotion to his religious convictions was of the simple, pure type, burning steadfast and true to the last. Unassuming and kind in his ways, a good neighbor, friend and citizen, Mr. Pratt was esteemed by all. His funeral was held at the Baptist church, Monday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. J.E. Vassar, officiating, assisted by Rev. C.H. Sackett of the Methodist church. The Masonic lodge of Bainbridge of which the deceased had been a member for forty-five years, also an honorary member for several years, attended the funeral and conducted the services at the grave in St. Peter's burying ground. Mr. Pratt is survived by his wife Mary Coonradt, to whom he was married in Troy, in 1853, and four children: James H. Pratt and Mrs. Allen Hodge of Bainbridge, Don C. Pratt of Binghamton and Mrs. Geo. Spohn of Guilford. There are living in West Poultney, Vt., three aged sisters of the deceased, unmarried and occupying together, the Pratt homestead.

Mrs. Treadway's illness dates back to five years ago when going to and returning from a visit to her son in the South. The weariness and the excessive sickness caused by railway traveling so enfeebled her system as to render her a prey to nervous trouble. For two years she had been a confirmed invalid becoming gradually conscious that there was no hope of recovery. Through all her long suffering her gentle disposition did not change, and her kindness and consideration for those in attendance upon her were always predominant. Everyone, to the merest child, felt in this loveable woman's presence, that truth, sincerity and love unbounded prevailed. The deceased was a true wife, a fond mother, an entertaining woman socially, one who was young even in advanced life. She was devotedly attached to her church ties, those of the Presbyterian faith. Her last hours were painless and she passed peacefully away "to that unknown and silent shore." Mrs. Treadway is survived by her husband, aged eighty years, and three children; Charles Treadway of Binghamton, Leroy of Jacksonville, Florida, and Mrs. Ella Stoughton of Bainbridge, George Waters, an artist of Elmira, N.Y., is her brother. The funeral was held at the home, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Spaulding was the officiating clergyman who spoke impressively upon the occasion. Selections of music were rendered in harmony with the beautiful character of the deceased, and a profusion of flowers was everywhere manifest. The interment was by her daughter's side in St. Peter's burying ground.

No more may fear to die."
