Saturday morning, April 22, at 10 o'clock, occurred the death of Hazel Babcock Keach, wife of Ray Keach, at the Sidney Hospital. Perhaps no death in our community has brought the note of sadness that the passing of Hazel Keach has. She has filled a place none other in the world can in the hearts and lives of her children. Mrs. Keach had been seriously ill for several days under the care of Dr. Loomis, of Sidney, and on Wednesday morning her condition became so critical that she was removed to the Sidney Hospital where she rapidly grew worse, suffering intensely until death brought release. Hazel Keach is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Babcock, of Norwich, who for many years resided in Guilford. She was born 37 years ago in the town of Preston, N.Y. [Chenango Co.]. Twenty years ago she was united in marriage to Ray Keach. To them came four daughters, Dorothy, Pauline, Phyllis and Marjorie, and one son, Carl, who survive; together with the husband and parents, two brothers and three sisters. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Guilford Center Church. Rev. J.W. Bump officiated. Burial at the Godfrey's Corners cemetery [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY]. The entire community extends to the husband and children our deepest sympathy in their great loss. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Apr. 27, 1933]

With deep regret and sadness of heart we record the sudden death on Friday afternoon of last week of Mrs. Marion Casey, wife of Prof. Francis J. Casey, principal of the Bainbridge Central School for the past twelve years [Chenango Co., NY]. Mrs. Casey, apparently in her usual health, had called at the home of Mrs. Edward Danforth to express to her a personal sympathy over the very grave illness of Mrs. Danforth's mother, when she was herself stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, dying at the Danforth home about two hours later. Mrs. Casey was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frank L. Winsor, of Laurens, N.Y. [Otsego Co., NY], whom Dr. Danforth summoned as soon as the seriousness of her attack became apparent and who were able to arrive with other members of the family a half hour or more before the fatal termination of her seizure. She was born at Laurens, Otsego county, N.Y., February 28, 1894. Following her school life in that village she attended and was graduated from the Oneonta High School. Some time later was devoted to the study of music at Syracuse University, where she especially applied herself to the piano. On December 28, 1916, she married Francis J. Casey, then principal of the Laurens High School. One son, Winsor, was born to them, now fifteen years of age, who with his father survive her. Besides her husband and son, deceased is survived by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Winsor, and one brother, Coville Winsor, of Laurens, also a sister, Mrs. Damon Getman, of Oneonta. Mrs. Casey was a recent member of the local chapter, D.A.R., and a very active member of the Bainbridge Woman's Club, holding the office of secretary; she was also chairman of the Relief Committee, in which activity she was greatly interested. She was a pianist of unusual ability and ever ready to donate her services at church and social gatherings. Mrs. Casey was a woman of such rare personal charm, of such unusual grace of manner, of such unfailing vivacity in personal intercourse and of such kindliness of temperament that she had won the affectionate regard of the entire village, while her conquering friendliness, her personal loveliness, her warmth of genuine and sensitive sympathies had attracted a host of close personal friendships. The news of her sudden almost tragic death filled every heart with saddened wonder at the mysterious and unintelligible behavior of an inscrutable providence. In grateful memory for the many hours she had brightened and while the dew and the divinity of love seemed to rest upon every bud and blade of the perfect wilderness of flowers that covered casket and chancel, the people of Bainbridge and her many friends from elsewhere crowded the Presbyterian Church last Monday morning to bid farewell to the kind and lovely and generous spirit whose life had been so untimely ended. The impressive services were conducted by the Rev. G.H. Orvis. From here, the remains, accompanied by the family and many others to whom she had endeared herself, were taken to her girlhood home at Laurens, N.Y., where interment was in the family plot.
"She was a form of life and light,
That seen, became a part of sight,
And rose, where'er I turn'd my eye,
The morning-star of memory."

Deep grief came to the home of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Danforth last Saturday morning when Mrs. Mercie Mattice, beloved mother of Mrs. Danforth passed away after a very short illness, following by but a few hours the sudden death at their home of Mrs. Danforth's devoted friend, Mrs. Marion Casey. Mrs. Mattice had made her home with her daughter here in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] since the death of her husband twelve years ago and although somewhat invalided from infirmities of advancing age had enjoyed her usual comfortable health until three days before her death when she was stricken with a difficulty of the heart from which she did not recover. She died in her eighty-first year. Mrs. Mattice was born in Gilboa, N.Y. [Schoharie Co.], March 17, 1853, and she was married to Richard Parks Mattice August 11, 1874. Their home was made in Gilboa until the death of Mr. Mattice. Six children, two sons and four daughters, were born, all living and all were present at the burial on Monday. The children;are Mrs. Edward Danforth, of this village; Richard Mattice, of Syracuse; Mrs. Carl Danielson, of New York city; Mrs. Floyd Anderson, of Binghamton; Mrs. Thomas Collins, Jr., of Greenwood, Mass., and Ford Mattice, now living at Gilboa, on the homestead farm. Mrs. Mattice is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Helen Richtmyer, who has been for some time na invalid in the Bainbridge Hospital. Mrs. Mattice died full of years, but also full of respect and affection. Her great love for her children and her home were the impulses which dominated her life. In her home she was notable for her sagacity and sound judgment rather than glittering display, always keeping her poise in the midst of turmoil that affrighted others. Mrs. Mattice took a keen interest in all human events and was a diligent reader of the day's news until a few days previous to her death. Her personal integrity and unswerving devotion to the right made her friendship and honor to those who had won it, and by a strange chance of fate one of those whom had been most blessed by her esteem was to accompany her almost hand in hand to the great beyond. The caskets of both Mrs. Mattice and Marion Casey billowed in flowers from family and friends were placed in adjoining rooms in the Danforth home, where a great number of Bainbridge people came to pay their last respects all of last Sunday. A short service was held at Bainbridge on Monday morning conducted by the Rev. Bradford H. Tite, following which the remains of Mrs. Mattice were taken to Breakabeen, N.Y. [Fulton, Schoharie Co., NY], and funeral services held in the Presbyterian church in that village. Interment was in the family plot in the Breakabeen cemetery.
