C.W. Vandegrift, of No. 1278 Lake street, Elmira, superintendent of schools of Chemung County, died in the City Hospital, at 5 o'clock, Tuesday morning from injuries received when hit by an automobile shortly before 6 o'clock Monday evening. The accident happened in Main street between Clark street and Laurel avenue. Vandegrift was hit and knocked unconscious by a car driven by Benjamin L. Bradbury of No. 247 Main street, who halted his machine immediately and helped carry Vandegrfit into a nearby café known as the Turf Exchange. The police ambulance was summoned and Officers Murphy and Livingston speeded the unconscious victim to the hospital as quickly as possible. At first it was hoped that Vandegrfit might have a fighting chance for recovery, but due to severe internal injuries he died without regaining consciousness. Bradbury was taken to police headquarters, where he declared that he was travelling west in Main street not faster than 15 miles an hour when Vandegrift running across the street from south to north, darted directly in front of his car before he had a possible chance to apply the brakes. As it was, so Bradbury declared, he brought his machine to a halt within ten feet from the point where Vandegrift was knocked down. Mr. Vandegrift is survived by his wife, Edith M., and a daughter, Mrs. Grace Kinsman of No. 193 Main street this city. The body was removed to C.F. Prentice's funeral parlors, No. 62 Carroll street, and will be taken to the home in Elmira today. The funeral will probably be held on Thursday--Binghamton Sun, Jan. 2. Mr. Vandegrift was a former principle of the Bainbridge High School. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 3, 1924]
Funeral services for Mrs. Arabel Tillman, wife of Irving J. Tillman, clerk of Chenango County, whose life was lost in the disaster that visited their home last week Thursday morning, was held in the Broad Street Methodist Episcopal Church at Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], Saturday afternoon. The church was filled with relatives and friends, not alone from Norwich but from Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], the former home of the deceased, and from other places. The Norwich Chapter of the Eastern Star were present in a body. A floral star centered the array of formal pieces and profusion of roses, carnations and chrysanthemums that adorned the altar rail and pulpit, before which the casket stood. The pastor, the Rev. Louis D. Palmer, read the twenty-third Psalm and selections from the fourteenth chapter of St. John. He based his eulogy upon the second verse of the forty-third chapter of Isaiah: "When thou passeth through the waters I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee; when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flames kindle upon thee." The entire service was deeply impressive, the utmost quiet that prevailed during the address and the soft notes from the organ as friends viewed for the last time the form in the casket, expressed most affectively the reverence of the living for the memory of the dead. The pallbearers were M.D. Aldrich, Howard Baker, William G. Brant, Ira Reynolds, Jesse Stewart and Frank Zuber, all of Norwich. Among those present were many personal friends of Mr. Tillman, the bereaved husband, who following the exposure and distressing experience of the night of the fire was not able to attend the service.
