Injuries which he suffered when he plunged more than 15 feet from the boom of a well driver in Otego [Otsego Co., NY] Saturday morning proved fatal Sunday night for Joseph Ham, 48 years old, of Troy [Rensselear Co, NY], who expired in the Fox Memorial Hospital, Oneonta, that evening. From the outset little hope was held out for his recovery. Ham suffered a fracture at the base of the brain and a rib is believed to have punctured a lung. The man, who was employed by the Hall Company, of Albany, was working on the B.F. Shepard property. Toppling from the structure in some unexplained manner, he landed with terrific force on his head and shoulders. Co-workers rushed the unconscious man to the office of Dr. R.W. Ford, who administered preliminary treatment and ordered his removal to the Fox Memorial Hospital. He failed to regain conscious ness from the time of admittance to the hospital. Relatives of the man arrived at the hospital late Saturday night. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 19, 1933]

Mrs. J.L. Hubbard, of Schenevus, N.Y., died at Washington, D.C., a week ago Sunday. Her husband, who was a former resident of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] and in the butcher business here, played on the old original Bainbridge "Athletics" baseball team, every member of which had to be capable of turning a handspring when coming off the field after the game.

Edwin Holden, pastor of the Congregational Church, Sidney, officiating. Burial was in the family plot at Bennettsville.

A telegram announcing the death of Mrs. Grace D. Hastings, which occurred Tuesday morning, January 24th, near Los Angeles, Cal., was received by Frank B. Payne, a brother of the deceased. She has been an invalid for several years, but only during the past week had her death been expected. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. J.G. Corbin and Mrs. Alice Albrecht, and another brother, Butler B. Payne, of Afton; a son, Dr. Ray Hastings; one daughter, Mrs. Leona Blank, of Berkley, Cal.; and a grandson, Ross Ray Hasting, a son of Dr. Hastings, who like his father is a musician of note, and several cousins living in Bainbridge. Mrs. Hastings, whose husband, Frank E. Hastings, died about eight years ago, was born in this village, December 22, 1871, a daughter of Elmer B. and Theodora Bartlett Payne. She was intensely religious, a devoted mother to her children, who were always sent to school with a prayer for their safety, and inspiring them to do right. In her case it can be truthfully said "she looked for a city that hath foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God." [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 26, 1933]
Died, in Guilford Centre [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 4th, Mr. Charles Godfrey, aged 60 years. As the deceased was born, lived and died in this town, perhaps a short sketch of his life would not be out of place at this time. Mr. Godfrey was born in the year 1807, on the farm adjoining the one on which he lived and died, and at a period when they had not the advantages of the present time. He spent his early boyhood in toiling for his father to gain a subsistence from what was then an almost unbroken wilderness, instead of spending it in the college hall, as is the privilege of the present generation. He united with the congregational Church in this village in the year 1831 or 32; he was a kind companion, an affectionate father and a good citizen, but now the cares and burdens of life are over, the labors, anxieties and tumults of the age are past, and he sleeps peacefully in the little Church yard near the lonely cottage whose cheerfulness he once enjoyed. We cannot wish him back on earth again, "although the sorrowing heart oft sighs for the happy hours agone," for we trust he has gone to take possession of a better home in heaven.

Edson Harris, formerly of Gilbertsville [Otsego Co., NY], and well known in this vicinity, but latterly of Lacrosse, Wis., and a member of the 1st Wisconsin Battery, died in camp before Vicksburg, in February last of measles. His Captain in communicating his death to his mother says: "His death to us is a severe stroke, as he had all the qualities of a good soldier and none better than Edson Harris. His memory is indelibly written on our hearts and though the changing scenes of the tended field might cause us to forget many things of great interest, yet the name of Edson Harris will long be remembered when this command is disbanded and many a battlefield forgotten. He was buried with the honors of war, covered with the same flag whose folds he had marched under, both in the field of battle and at his late home, Lacrosse. He was engaged in both battles, 'Chickasaw Bayou' and 'Arkansas Post' and although under a most galling fire seemed to fear no danger. His grave is opposite the mouth of Yazoo River, about one-fourth mile west of the west bank of the Mississippi River. The spot is marked with a neat epitaph upon the head board of his last resting place, and will not be obliterated for many years." [Chenango Telegraph, March 18, 1863]
