William A. McPherson, 72, of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], died Friday night as the result of injuries received when he was attacked by a bull on his farm at Wilkins Settlement, four miles north of Afton, on the Afton-Greene highway, Thursday morning. According to witnesses McPherson went to the field north of his house to bring the bull to the barn. He caught the animal and was leading it toward the barn when he was tossed in the air by the bull, trampled and pushed under a barbed-wire fence. He suffered a fracture of the spinal column and complete paralysis. The bull had never been known to display ugliness before. McPherson was rescued by farm hands and neighbors and Dr. Lee Dodge called. The men had trouble in subduing the enraged bull, which was finally killed with a gun.

Died: In this town [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on the evening of November 9th, 1883, Harriet B., daughter of Amos B. and Sally M. Packer, aged 35 years. Truly she left a world of suffering, and hath entered into rest. Hers might seem to some a clouded life on account of imperfect health, but to her buoyant, vivacious spirit, life was not simply an existence, but rich with cheer, happiness, and good works. She was ever the light and life of every circle in which she chanced to be. For several years she was a teacher in our Union School. She was universally respected and beloved by her pupils. A successful teacher, because of close application and intense interest in all her work. In her religious life she was ever faithful, trusting, charitable. She will be missed in the Church, in the Sunday School, but most of all in her own family circle, where she was ever a star undimmed. Because of her rare intelligence, innate tact and good judgment, she with her words of cheer and counsel was truly the light and life of the home. The last few days of her life, she was in a marked degree confident that her end was nigh, and yet she was wholly reconciled and submissive to the will of God. She spoke of the final change as calmly and cheerfully as she would of a social event in life. To her the change was almost an anticipated pleasure. She felt the assurance that she was not going among strangers, but to meet Father, Sister and other loved ones in the better land of glory. [Chenango Union, Nov. 15, 1883]
