The death of Mrs. Augusta Ireland Jones, which occurred at her home on Searles Hill [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], Wednesday morning August 9th, 1922, has brought sorrow not only to the hearts of surviving relatives, but the entire community by whom she was respected and loved. Mrs. Jones was born June 16, 1856 and was the tenth child of Stephen and Betsy Barr Ireland who were among the early settlers of Union Valley. Mrs. Jones was of a quiet and retiring disposition, a kind and obliging neighbor. She never saw the faults only the virtues of her acquaintances. Several months ago she was stricken with Bright disease, complications arose which puzzled her physician, while everything was done for her, she grew worse. Although suffering intently she kept up and took an active part in the affairs of life, planning for the comfort and pleasure of her family. She was united in marriage to Charles B. Jones, Nov. 14, 1876, five children were born to them, Blanch deceased, Earl, of Nichols; Ralph, of Binghamton; Mrs. Ethel Babcock, of this village and Leland, who resided with them. In early life she gave her heart to Christ and her exemplary Christian influence will bear fruit for the master. The funeral services were held from her late home Saturday at one p.m. and at the First Methodist Episcopal church at two p.m. The services were in charge of the pastor Rev. M.V. Williams who spoke kindly of the beautiful character which had departed to return no more. Rev. Lester Kilpatrick and Mrs. M.W. Williams sang two beautiful selections. The pall bearers were Charles Ireland, Ernest Ingersoll, Frank Richards, and Stephen Ireland nephews of the deceased. Much sympathy is felt for the sorrowing husband. Besides her immediate family, she is survived by six grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Lovina Ingersoll of [-?-], two brothers Henry of Union Valley, Judson of Skedee, Oklahoma. Many beautiful flowers testified the love and esteem in which she was held. A long line of automobiles followed the remains to their last resting place in Greenlawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY].

Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: Word has just been received of the death of Mabel C., wife of Clayton Smith, who was a former resident of Guilford but now of Long Beach, Cal. The deceased is a niece of Mrs. James Stead of this place. [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 24, 1922]
Arthur Ruttan and his wife were burned to death in a fire which destroyed their farmhouse, four miles from Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY] Wednesday night. Their charred remains were found in the ruins of their home Tuesday by Charles Crumb, a neighbor. The bodies lay near a bedstead and both were badly burned. But little is known of the couple, who came from New York City last Spring and bought the farm of Joseph Panaro. A hired man, George Guinoff, had been helping J.L. Van Dusen, another farmer residing a mile away. He spent Wednesday night there and knew nothing of the fire or the death of his employers until the next morning. It is surmised that the house was struck by lightning and set afire after the couple had retired and were asleep. Apparently they were suffocated by the smoke. Mr. and Mrs. Ruttan were about 30 years of age and their untimely deaths are sincerely regretted by all who formed their acquaintance during their short residence. They are said to have relatives in Booneville. [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 31, 1922]
Gilbertsville [Otsego Co., NY]: There was a sad ending Saturday afternoon to the Gage family picnic, when Alfred age 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Gage, residing on the Moore farm about two miles east of this village, was drowned while bathing in the Moore mill dam at this place. Members of the Gage family to the number of about 60 had assembled early in the day at the home of George Gage for the annual reunion. Dinner had been served, and a little before three o'clock Alfred Gage, with a younger cousin, Stanley Gage, had gone to the mill pond, which was only a short distance away, for the purpose of bathing. The boys had entered the water and it was only a few minutes later than Stanley Gage came hurrying to the picnic party with the intelligence that his cousin, had sunk in the dam. A large force of men went at once to the rescue, but it was not until after 5 o'clock that the body was raked out from a deep hole. Dr. Hall was summoned, but life had of course been long extinct. It is believed that the young man, who it is understood could swim, at least to some extent, suffered an attack of heart failure, and sinking, was drowned. Owing to the rain of the night before the water in the dam was very high, being at least 15 feet deep where the body was found. The body was taken to the home of his aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Moore, where the funeral was held at 1 p.m. on Monday, with interment at South New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY].
