Mrs. Mary Augusta Eaton died at her home in Liberty street Wednesday afternoon Feb. 28 after a long illness of Bright's disease, at the age of 72 years. Mrs. Eaton was born at Meredith, and her girlhood was spent in the town of Bainbridge. In the early days of railroading in this section she met and married Frank Eaton an engineer on the D.&H. Mr. Eaton was one of the most expert engineers of those days and his run on a passenger train caused them to make their home in Binghamton. The strenuous life of railroading caused Mr. Eaton to relinquish his passenger run to take a switch engine position at Sidney and the family came to this village about 39 years ago to make their home. Mrs. Eaton was always greatly interested in educational matters and she materially aided the school trustees in those early days in building up our schools so that they were as good as the best in this section of the state. During her days of activity Mrs. Eaton made many friends in this village by whom she was greatly beloved. For the past two years her health had been failing and the end came peacefully last Wednesday. The funeral services were held at the late home on Liberty street Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. W.W. Chambers, pastor of the Sidney Congregational church officiating; the interment was in the Bainbridge cemetery. Mr. Eaton died in April 1915.

A pathetic death occurred Sunday night at 7 o'clock when Allison Xavier Spohn age 19 the oldest son of Mrs. Fred Spohn of this village died from pneumonia, which was superinduced by inhaling carbon monoxide gas while at work in a garage where he had employment. The deceased was the main support of his mother, a younger brother and two sisters. The family having been bereft of the income which was needed for its support, the deceased left his studies secured a position in a garage and was providing for them. He was a young man for whom everyone had the greatest esteem and regard. His industry and purpose in life when confronted with unfortunate circumstances has caused general admiration for his sterling worth, and as evidence of this, during his sickness and since his death there has been unsolicited generous proffers of kindness and assistance from the whole community. Besides the mother he is survived by a brother Malcom, age 16 and two sisters, Esther age 13 and Aileen age 11.
