Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: In the death of Mrs. Lemual Jewell, on the 10th inst., at the advanced age of eighty-five years, our community lost one of its oldest and most respected citizens. Coming to this place from the East at an early period, she entered her new field with cheerful courage, soon becoming identified with many benevolent and praise-worthy objects, and lived to behold, through the trials and vicissitudes of over half a century, the origin and prosperity of our village as well as the growth of the surrounding country. For fifty years she lived and toiled upon the spot where she died, and with true motherly solicitude witnessed a family grow up and go forth into distant parts of the country. With Christian resignation she meantime endured family afflictions and death, and under the filial care and protection of a faithful son, calmly awaited the sure summons that at last found her ready. She retained her faculties until the last, and was gladdened during the past few months with visits from sons in California, whom she had not seen for many years. All who knew her will miss Mrs. Jewell, for her many kindnesses in the long years that are past, and cherish her remembrance with feelings of the deepest respect. Her husband died something over two years ago, aged about ninety-four. [Chenango Union, Mar. 22, 1877]
Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: Mr. Abial Bush, another of our aged and respected townsmen died at his home east of our village, on the 13th inst., aged some seventy-seven years. Ever since we can remember, Mr. Bush has resided in our vicinity, and until within a few years taken an active part in public matters. He was of that class of substantial, reliable citizens, who are unfortunately passing away. [Chenango Union, Mar 22, 1877]
