Sunday morning the spirit of Grandma Moody shook off its mortal coil and passed over to join her husband, who, six short months ago, passed into the realms beyond. Mrs. Moody had been ailing for some weeks and on account of her advanced age of eight-two years, it was not expected she would stay with this earth long, so her final passing was not unlooked for. Grandma Moody was one of the characters of Winters, whose name stands in with the communities' history. Her maiden name was Emily Augusta Campbell. She was born in Bainbridge, Chenango county, New York, in 1826, the oldest of a family of five children. After growing to womanhood, she became a school teacher, and in 1849 became the wife of Lorenzo Moody, a young man resident of her native town, Bainbridge. To them was born an only son, Homer, who is still living on the old Moody homestead near Winters. In 1856 they went to California, landing at the corner of Montgomery and Clay streets San Francisco, which was then the bay shore of the city. They did not remain long in San Francisco, but took up their residence at the Moody home at Buckeye the first day of January 1857. Buckeye school district was organized with Mrs. Moody as first teacher. There was no school house at this time, but school was kept in Mrs. Moody's home. She taught the Buckeyes there in her home two terms. After this Mrs. Moody taught the Wolfskill school the first term of its existence. The school house was then down near the Sarshel Wolfskill place. In 1875 they moved to Winters and thus became among the founders of the town. They took up their residence in the house on Russell street, wherein both Mr. and Mrs. Moody died. One brother, Burr C. Campbell, of Bainbridge, an only son, Homer Moody and five grandchildren survive her. The community mourns the loss of an old time resident and the people's sympathy is extended to the bereaved family in their hour of sorrow--Winters Express, California. Mrs. Moody of the above obituary notice, was the daughter of Daniel Campbell, one of the pioneer residents of the town of Bainbridge, and lived upon the East side. Of the immediate family, one brother, Burr C. Campbell, of this village survives, also a niece Mrs. Evans, wife of Dr. R.D.L. Evans of this place. Her father was Alexander Moody, brother of the late Lorenzo Moody, husband of the deceased. The Moody and Campbell families were much esteemed in Bainbridge, and their descendants, Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Moody in California, were equally so in their adopted home, Winters. Among the official positions Mr. Moody held in California was that of postmaster for several years, appointed through the influence of ex-President Hayes, a near relative.

Charles, aged four year, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Adams of 395 West Main street, succumbed at 11:15 last night to spinal meningitis. This dread affliction developed from an attack of whooping cough, which, in turn, had followed pneumonia. The parents and a brother, William, survive. The family came here recently from Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], the father being employed as a foreman in the Phoenix mills. The case is a very sad one, not only because of the loss of the little boy, but because the father is ill at present and the mother has also been ill. The funeral will be held at 9:30 Friday morning and the remains will be placed in St. Mary's vault. [Little Falls Evening Times, Feb. 25, 1920]

Edward L. Barr, of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], met death Wednesday noon being fatally scalded in the boiling vat in the basket factory at Oxford last week Wednesday. In the morning of that day in company with another employee, he was lifting the cover of the vat, but slipping fell over backwards into it. Although he was immediately pulled out and taken to his home and Dr. Hitchcock was hastily summoned, the injuries were of so serious a nature that the only lived until noon. Mr. Barr was born in Barker, Broome county, December 31, 1875, and was married to Bertha Clark of Bainbridge, March 22, 1900. His early life was spent in Afton, but he later removed to a farm below Oxford. Last summer, however, he purchased the Beardsley residence on Albany street, in Oxford village, where he has since resided. Deceased is survived by a wife, and a mother, four brothers and four sisters in Afton. The body was taken to Afton, where the funeral services were held Friday and interment made. Mr. Barr was a kind husband and an upright, industrious citizen. His loss will be keenly felt and the bereaved wife and relatives have the sympathy of all. Mr. Barr was the son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Clark of Bainbridge. A peculiar fact is that in January Mr. Barr was badly scalded in the same vat at the basket works, where he received the injuries which caused his death. At that time he was assisting in taking a log from the vat when he slipped and his left leg went into the boiling water. The limb was burned in various places between the ankle and knee, and although amputation was at first thought necessary, prompt medical aid prevented it and the leg was saved.
