John A. Ireland, the subject of this sketch, and a prominent citizen of the town of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], died at his home Feb. 7, 1908. His illness was so brief that his death was a shock to many. On Wednesday preceding his death he was taken to this bed with pneumonia in rather a mild form, but it was discovered later that other complications involving his kidneys had set in and he died the following Sunday morning. Mr. Ireland was born March 3, 1844, and always lived on the farm where he died. He was known and respected by a very large circle of friends and had the confidence of all with whom he dealt. He was united in marriage with Elzada Herrick Nov. 22, 1866, who feels keenly the sudden termination of so long and pleasant a companionship. Our brother was converted and united with the M.E. church in 1869. Nearly forty years of membership in the church and communion with Christ closed with a strong faith in the Saviour of men. In our brother's last testimony in church, given but a little time before he died, there was a pronounced earnestness noticed and remembered by a number present. We believe he had gone to be with Him for whom he said he was determined to live to the last. He was buried from his late home on Tuesday, Feb. 11, where a large concourse of people assembled to show their sympathy for the living and to pay their respects to the departed. The services were conducted by the pastor of the family, Reg. G.E. VanWoert. A quartette consisting of Messrs. Daniel Banner, Eben Gilbert, William Darlin and Marvin Strong kindly rendered helpful words of music. The bearers were Jeff Teachout, Faron Silvernail, Eldridge Davis, Charles Loomis, Norman Loomis and Lote Coss. Besides Mrs. Ireland, the deceased is survived by three sons, Frank D. Fred L. and John H., and by one daughter, Mrs. Lena Stotenberg; also by three sisters, Mrs. Mary Gilmore, Mrs. Esther Francisco and Mrs. Edward Loomis--G.E.V.W.[Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 20, 1908]
We have received news of the death of Daniel S. Bullock, who forty years ago was a resident and active business man in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]. He died the 31st of January in Chicago, at the home of a sister, Mrs. Sarah M. Wood, and his remains were brought the following week to Prospect, Oneida county, N.Y., for burial. He was 75 years of age. He came to Bainbridge when a young man and became associated with Captain Dudley D. Bullock, his brother, in carrying on a dry goods business. While here he was influential, himself and wife being prominent in the founding of the Baptist church of this village. He built the house on North Main street where Mrs. Strong resides, also that where Jesse Anderson lives on East Main street. He left Bainbridge in 1869 for the West, then returned and located in Elmira where he carried on business until his health failed. His wife, Mrs. Helen Bullock, who survives him, has been for many years a State Temperance lecturer, and still serves in that capacity When Mr. and Mrs. Bullock left Bainbridge that had a bright little son, Frank, who died upon reaching manhood. Mr. Bullock was one of ten children, four of whom, a brother, Dr. H.E. Bullock of Syracuse, and three sisters survive. Mr. Bullock was uncle to N.S. Saxe of Bainbridge, now upon the staff of the Utica Press. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 20, 1908]
[Compiler note: There are known errors in the obituary for Daniel S. Bullock. He was not the brother of Capt. Dyer D. Bullock, but rather his nephew. He was the son of Seymour and Susannah (Service) Bullock. Seymour Bullock was the brother of Capt. Dyer D. Bullock. The confusion undoubtedly results from the fact that a brother of Dyer D. Bullock, also named Daniel Bullock, lived in Bainbridge for a time, being associated in business with him. The time difference of some 40 years, undoubtedly blurred the facts. Another obituary for Daniel S. Bullock is given below.]

Bullock of Syracuse, Mrs. Jane Plumb of Locks Village, Mass., Mrs. Edgar Gage of Milford and Mrs. Sara M. Wood of Chicago, at whose home he died. [Rome Daily Sentinel, Feb. 4, 1908]
Thursday afternoon William J. McKellip of Cooperstown [Otsego Co., NY] was struck and instantly killed at Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] by the passenger train from Binghamton. Mr. McKellip, who was out driving, just started to cross the track after having waited for the south bound milk to pass. He had reached the center of the track when the engine of the passenger train struck him. He was thrown over 50 feet to one side of the track and the horse was thrown about the same distance in the opposite direction into the front yard of E.B. Payne. The train was in charge of Conductor Wilber and Engineer Couse. The latter saw nothing of the rig until the horse was seen moving through the air. The track curves below the crossing, and it is thought that Mr. McKellip could not see the approaching train and the noise of the milk train drowned the sound of the whistle. Dr. F.E. Hill, who was near the scene of the accident at the time, was called and pronounced him dead. The body was then taken to Hastings' undertaking grooms and Coroner Johnson of Oxford called. Mr.McKellip's home is at Cooperstown, but for a few weeks past has been living with his grandson. Harry Cornelius, on Front street, Bainbridge. The body was taken to Cooperstown on Saturday and the funeral held at his home on Sunday. Mr. McKellip was 69 years old and is survived by one brother, John McKellip, and one sister, Mrs. Anna Andrews of Middlefield. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 27, 1908]

Bainbridge friends will remember Mrs. Champion as Miss Louise Lyon, daughter of the late Josiah Lyon. The cause of death was acute Bright's disease. She was about 37 years of age and is survived by a husband and little daughter. A large circle of friends extend sympathy to the bereaved family. [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 5, 1908]
West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]: This community is greatly saddened by the recent death of one of its most helpful members, Mrs. Horace D. Lyon. Mrs. Lyon's maiden name was Ada Kelly, and she was the daughter of William and Sarah Kelley of this place. Her age was 57 years lacking only a few days. She leaves a husband and two daughters, Mrs. Earl Shapley and Miss Daisy Lyon. Beside these, there survive her father, William Kelley, one brother and six sisters. Mrs. Lyon had been much of a sufferer for nearly a year. A few days before her death, and after all other hope was given up, she underwent an operation which afforded much relief, although it was not possible to save her life. In early youth she united with the church at North Afton where she has always retained a membership. In later years she has been much of a worker in the West Bainbridge church and Sunday school, finding pleasure in her work with the children there. During her illness of many months and particularly of the last few weeks, when the illness became critical, Mrs. Lyon showed the utmost fortitude, cheerfulness, and hopefulness combined with resignation. She leaves a large circle of friends who mourn with her family, feeling deeply the loss of a friend and helper. In her younger days Mrs. Lyon, taught many terms in the public schools with success, making many lifelong friends by her untiring efforts. [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 5, 1908]
