Merton Pearsall ,whose illness we mentioned last week, passed to spirit life at 4:45 Wednesday morning, from an attack of La Grippe which terminated in Bright's disease of the kidneys. Mr. Pearsall was born in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] in 1856, at which place his father still resides, but has spent the greater number of his days in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], first as a pupil at our academy and afterward, for a time, in the employ of Don A. Gilbert. In February 1886 he was married to Miss Mary Hancock, daughter of I.G. Hancock, and in the fall of the same year, took a severe cold at the burning of the sled factory, which laid him up for several months, and from which it was feared for a long time that he was going into consumption. Recovering, somewhat, he entered a co-partnership with his father-in-law in the shoe and grocery business, in which calling he remained until his death. Merton Pearsall was of a cheerful and happy disposition, and was well liked and was esteemed by everyone, and all regret his untimely death. Yet a young man, the confidence of his friends was twice expressed in electing him to the office of town clerk, while the future loomed up promisingly before him. His last days were attended with great pain and suffering, which, though a cause of extreme distress to the loving hands that ministered to his wants, he bore with fortitude and uncomplainingly. He joined the M.E. church at his early home but had never transferred his allegiance to the church here. The funeral will be held at the house today, Friday, at one o'clock sharp and the remains taken to Guilford for burial. [Compiler note: died 29 July 1891, buried Sunset Hill Cemetery, Guilford, NY]
Duncan Parker died last Sunday morning in North Afton [Chenango Co., NY]. Drs. Evans and Copley were called and performed a postmortem examination. His death was found to be caused by cancer of the liver. It was claimed that his death was hastened by the previous shock and injuries received at the famous horning scrape, during which his wife shot Alonzo Phillips. His funeral took place Tuesday at his residence. Interment was at Coventry [Chenango Co., NY]--Bainbridge Republican, June 24, 1896.
Mrs. Frances M. Ives, wife of Samuel Ives departed this life Monday afternoon aged 39 years. The funeral was held from her late residence Thursday, at 11 o'clock. Interment in Ives cemetery [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY]. Mrs. Ives had a shock about two weeks ago, and for a time she seemed to improve, then it was seen that her strength was failing and with much suffering passed away as above stated. Mr. Ives has the sympathy of the entire community in his deep affliction. [1893]
IVES-Elma Norton was born in Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], Aug. 1, 1815, married to the late Samuel G. Ives in the year 1835, and departed this life May 26, 1892. Sister Ives was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church when about 15 years of age. She was an active worker until failing health prevented. For the last ten years she was almost entirely confined to her home. Her sufferings increased as time passed, until even those who loved her most could no longer ask that her life might be prolonged. For many months before release came she longed to be set fee from the poor suffering body, but her faith in God enabled her to wait patiently for the welcome summons to her heavenly home. Three daughters survive her: Miss Frances L. Ives, Mrs. N.J. Turner and Mrs. Charles Jones. No words can better describe the tenor of her life and her triumph in death than those which she requested her pastor to use in connection with her funeral service: "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will hear no evil., for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me."
Mrs. Otilia W. Hinds of Watertown [Jefferson Co., NY], widow of Charles Hinds, both of whom formerly resided on Conklin avenue, Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], died Thursday afternoon as a result of injuries sustained only a few minutes before when she was struck by an automobile driven by Jacob Thomas, of Gouverneur. Mrs. Hinds was struck while crossing the public square and was immediately removed to St. Joachim's Hospital where all efforts to save her life proved fruitless. Mrs. Hinds was 63 years old. She lived in Binghamton for several years. She moved to Bainbridge 20 years ago and after residing in that village for a short time moved to Watertown, where she had lived since. She is survived by a few distant relatives in Binghamton and in Union. [Bainbridge Republican, June 21, 1923]

Mrs. Tanner underwent an operation in the City Hospital last week, and failed to recover. Her death was quite sudden, proving a great shock to her immediate family and friends.

She was born in Harpursville [Broome Co., NY], and it was in that village, named after her family, that she and Mr. Tanner met, and where they were married in 1907.

James William Bass, a well known resident of Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], was instantly killed at 1:25 p.m. Tuesday when his automobile was struck by a light engine on the grade crossing at the lower end of the village. The crossing is protected by a visible and audible signal but Mr. Bass undoubtedly thought that the bell was ringing for an approaching north bound freight and failed to see the light engine coming south, driving onto the tracks directly into its path. The unfortunate man lived just east of the tracks. He had taken dinner with his father, who lives just west of the tracks, and was returning home. As he approached the crossing the warning bell was ringing. A slow moving freight was coming north. He evidently thought that the bell was ringing for that train alone and, seeing that he had plenty of time to cross ahead of it, started to do so, not seeing the south bound light engine 441, in charge of Engineer I. Cobb of Carbondale. The engine struck the car, a Ford, broadside and demolished it killing Bass instantly. He was 45 years old and is survived by his wife, two daughters, one of them married and living in Syracuse, and his father. Bass was a barber in Unadilla for many years but for the past two years had been employed in Sidney. [Bainbridge Republican, June 28, 1923]
Rosella Banner Hollenbeck was born in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] and died at her home in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], June 20, 1923, having attained the age of 77 years. On Dec. 29, 1868, she was united in marriage to Sebert J. Hollenbeck and after living several years at Union Valley [West Bainbridge, NY] they moved to Bainbridge where they have resided for the last 35 years. Four years ago they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary when not only the children and grandchildren were present, but several who witnessed the wedding ceremony. Mr.s Hollenbeck was a woman of rare beauty of face and character. For over sixty years she had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and none have lived more devotedly nor served more faithfully. May we not confidently say that her faithfulness here has prepared her for the larger service upon which she has now entered. None knew her but to respect and love her, and those who knew her best loved her most. She had been an invalid for more than five years, yet the end came suddenly but peacefully. She is survived by her husband, one son, Sebert B. Cashier of the First National Bank of Bainbridge and a daughter, Mrs. Leon Weller of Altamont, N.Y.; also two brothers, Daniel T. of this place, and Henry E. of Boone, Iowa; three sisters, Mrs. L. M. Lathrup, Mrs. N.A. Ensworth and Mrs. W.H. Willets. Funeral services were conducted at her late home on Saturday afternoon by her pastor, Rev. M.V.
