Mr. Cortland Carruth, an overseer upon the Midland Railroad, was instantly killed on Saturday afternoon last, near Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], where he had a number of men engaged in quarrying stone for the railroad bridge, now being built near Sidney [Delaware Co., NY]. It appears that the men were engaged in raising a very heavy stone, Mr. Carruth superintending the work, when a guy rope supporting the derrick gave way, and the pole fell, striking Mr. C. upon the side of the head. He was forced to the ground, the derriel falling upon and confining his head. When it was removed, it was found that life was extinct. Two other men were seriously injured, one of them fatally, it is thought. Mr Carruth was formerly a resident of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], and was at one time engaged in the mercantile business here, as one of the firm of Brown & Carruth, at the corner store now occupied by Peck & Arms. He was a son of the late Levi Carruth, of this place, and was respected by the entire community as an upright, honorable man. He leaves a widow, residing at Oneida. the remains were brought to this place on Sunday, by his brother-in-law, William Card, and on Tuesday they were interred at East Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], his former residence. His age was 47 years. [Chenango Union, July 28, 1869]
Miss Betsy Dye, who has for a long time been employed at the Hughson House, in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], died very suddenly on Tuesday night of last week. She had been unusually cheerful during the evening, apparently in the best of health. Shortly after she had retired to her room for the night, an unusual noise was heard, as of some person in distress, and, upon going to her room, she was found sitting at the window in a dying condition. A physician was immediately sent for, but before he arrived, she was dead. We are informed that the cause of her death was heart disease, with which she had been afflicted for a long time. She was about forty years of age. [Chenango Union, July 28, 1869]
Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY]: On Saturday, November 20, about noon, the unfortunate young lady, Miss Dunbar, started from the house of Mr. Solomon Billings in the northern part of the town, for her mother's residence in Upperville [Chenango Co., NY]. But a short distance from the residence of Mr. Billings she found the bridge taken up, it being considered unsafe, and attempted to ford the stream, which, much swollen by the rain of the morning, was so powerful as to baffle the efforts of the horse to cross, and it is supposed the lady was instantly drowned. In about an hour after she started, the horse was discovered in the field, destitute of buggy, with thills still attached, and much chilled by being long in the water. Immediate search was made for the body and within a short time scores of men were on the spot, eagerly engaged in the search, but their efforts proved unavailing until Sunday morning, when it was discovered about half a mile down the stream. A Coroner's inquest was held, but no additional facts were elicited. It was not known at Mr. Billings' that the bridge was impassible, and the lady probably did not realize the depth of the stream and the velocity of the current; consequently no blame can be attached to anyone. It is one of the most melancholy accidnets that has occurred in this town for a long time. [Chenango Union, Dec. 1, 1869]
