William Ward, aged 5 years, 3 months and 3 days, son of Hiram S. and Sarah Pierce, was drowned in the canal at the foot of the first lock south of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 11th inst. The shock of the boat, Shady Side, upon which he was standing, as it entered the lock, probably caused him to fall into the canal where he was not found until too late to save his life. His parents reside in Vestal, Broome county, whither they returned with the body. This little boy was unusually promising and intelligent, and had been a faithful attendant at Sabbath School during the past two years. A short time previous to this fatal accident, he stood by his mother's side, looking toward the sky, when he remarked with earnestness that he would soon have wings and fly up there. His childish fancy was too truly and quickly verified. --Greene American. [Chenango Telegraph, June 24, 1863]
Word has been received in Norwich [Chenango Co., NY] of the death of George A. Hubbard, which occurred at Wichita, Kansas, at 4:30 Wednesday morning. Mr. Hubbard was a native of this city [Norwich], having been born here Jan. 1, 1874. In the message received here it was not stated what was the cause of death and no information was given as to funeral arrangements. Mr. Hubbard was a printer by trade and was employed as a linotype operator by The Daily Eagle at Wichita. He was proficient in his work and stood high in the estimation of his fellow craftsman. Mr. Hubbard was graduated from Norwich high school in the class of 1894. He early took to the printing trade, and when a boy only 15 years of age published a paper in this city known as "The Weekly News." Mr. Hubbard was editor, printer and owner all in one. At that time he was known as the youngest editor in the state. Mr. Hubbard suffered from an attack of cerebral spinal meningitis in 1888 which so injured his hip that he was lame for the remainer of his life. It is thought that attack affected his health in later life. He had been in ill health for about two years. Mr. Hubbard left Norwich about 25 years ago and most of his life since had been spent in Oklahoma and Kansas. With his family he was a visitor in Norwich about two years ago. Mr. Hubbard has a large number of friends in this city who will regret his death and who will extend sympathy to his aged mother and family.

Ebenezer Cole, 72, of Belden [Broome Co., NY], was struck and killed by an automobile of Ellsworth Phelps, Port Dickinson, as he walked along the highway at the foot of Belden Hill at 6 o'clock Saturday evening. Immediately after the mishap Phelps sent a call for a doctor in Harpursville. He summoned aid and took the victim to the home of Romaine Fox, where Cole was identified as a neighbor, Coroner Austin J. Stillson, of Windsor, who questioned the driver and said, in absolving him of blame, it was an unavoidable accident. According to versions of the accident Cole was walking on the highway. There is a dip in the road at this point. The headlights of Phelps' car did not focus far ahead as he was going down hill. At that juncture another car passed. Its headlights shone upward and blinded Phelps who said that he did not see Cole until it was too late to avoid the crash. Authorities said Cole was hurled four feet to the side of the road. He had gone to a neighboring farm to borrow block and tackle as he intended to use it in butchering cattle. The ropes and pulleys were swung over his shoulder. When he was struck by the right front fender one of the pulleys crashed through the windshield of the Phelps car. Phelps, who was on his way to Harpursville with his wife and daughter, said windshield glass sprayed the three. His daughter screamed, but it was from fright.
