The fire which partially destroyed the Anthony-Scoville Photograph Supply factory in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], last week Wednesday morning severely burned Herbert H. Smith formerly of Bainbridge and he died from the effects of injuries at his home, no. 26 Arthur street, Friday evening, at 7 o'clock, after a period of intense suffering. It is said that the flesh on Mr. Smith's body was literally cooked by the flames, which were made doubly dangerous on account of the chemicals and acids in the fire. Although it was realized that the burns were serious it was not thought that they were necessarily fatal, but Friday evening the patient sank rapidly until his death, which was caused by sudden heart failure brought on by the severe shock. Mr. Smith was employed in this factory as an expert in the manufacture of the chemicals used in photographic supplies and was at work over a vat of chemicals when an explosion occurred setting fire to the building. The explosion enveloped him in the flames. Before his escape from the building he succeeded in saving a fellow workman. Mr. Smith some twelve years ago conducted the clothing business in the store now known as Telford's bakery, but for the past few years was employed in the Anthony-Scoville Concern, Binghamton. The funeral was held from his late home on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Dr. E.J. Hallenbeck of the West Presbyterian church, assisted by the Rev. Lincoln A. Ferris, of the Tabernacle church, and Rev. Samuel Dunham, of the Floral Ave. Presbyterian church and Rev. Samuel Dunham, of the Floral Ave. Presbyterian church. The services at the grave were conducted by the Binghamton lodge, F.&A.M. No. 177. Sixteen from the Susquehanna Lodge, Bainbridge, of which Mr. Smith was a member, were in attendance at the funeral and escorted the remains to Spring Forest Cemetery for burial. The deceased was forty-seven years of age and is survived by a wife and one daughter to whom a host of friends extend sympathy. He was a brother of Mrs. Chas Stever of this place, East side.[Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 19, 1907]
News was received on Thursday of last week by Mrs. Clara C. Watts of this village, of the death of her sister, Rachel A. Wildey Batterson which occurred Thursday, September 5, at the home of her brother, Charles Wildey, at Grinnell, Kansas. The deceased was the daughter of Alexander and Amanda Wildey and was born 59 years ago in the town of Afton [Chenango Co., NY]. The most of her life had been spent in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY]. Some four years since she went to Kansas to visit her brother who had recently been bereaved of his wife and was living alone upon a ranch. Mrs. Batterson soon adapted herself to western life and enjoyed it and has remained there since making a few weeks' visit only to her sister, Mrs. Watts, last summer. Mrs. Batternson had not been well for the past year, gradually failing from a complication of diseases, but she was resolute and cheerful to the last regretting only to leave her brother to a silent home. Her church was of the Methodist persuasion; she was not a member but her attachment was strong and her purse was always open to assist in any way. The influence of her mother Mrs. Wildey, who was a most saintly woman and who belonged to this church in Bainbridge until her death, was ever a guiding spirit with Mrs. Batterson. She was an estimable woman, her chief characteristics being frankness, openness, generosity and loyalty to friends who will regret to learn of her death. Mrs. Batterson is survived by a son, brother and sister mentioned above. Her husband, Leroy Batterson of Rockdale, to whom she was married in 1879, died several years ago.

Frank Penne, a seventeen year-old Italian boy, shot and fatally wounded J.J. Clyne, of Avery street, Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], at ten o'clock Sunday morning on the Delaware and Hudson tracks, half a mile above Sidney. Penne, who with two boy companions, John Barasse and Pascuel Mazzuralla was shooting birds with a 32 caliber rifle, is under arrest, charged with criminal negligence. Mr. Clyne died from the wound Monday morning. According to the story told by the boys, the shooting was not intentional. Mr. Clyne was walking down the track when he was shot. The bullet entered his left side and penetrated the intestines and he fell to the ground. The boys ran away. Mr. Clyne shouted for help and when his cries were not answered, he dragged himself form the tracks, where he was in danger of being run over and made his way to his home, a distance of nearly half a mile. The wound was a painful one and he suffered terrible agony during the slow and difficult journey. He was attended by Dr. A.W. Cutler, of Oneonta, and Drs. Day, Brinkman and McKinnon, of Sidney. After the wounded man had told his story a warrant was issued for Young Penne, and he was arrested and arraigned before justice of Peace W.H. Pierce. The unfortunate occurrence is regretted by the residents of Sidney and all who have expressed sympathy for the family.
