Deceased was engaged by Mr. Beardsley of this village, in drawing stone for a new building in Coventry, he having a box sleigh, and while passing the Parker neighborhood met Mr. Peter Parker, with whom he had some conversation. He was on foot, following the team, and soon after Mr. Parker saw him stumble into the sleigh, make an effort and then remain quiet. The team walked leisurely along a short distance until they came to a little rise in the road, where they stopped, and Mr. Parker, who had been watching all the time, hastened to the spot and found Mr. Haight in the sleigh dead. The body was removed to Mr. Joel Parker's house, and properly cared for until the arrival of friends, and here it was that the driver of another team, who had been ahead of Mr. H., but out of sight, was met coming back to see if he had not met with some accident.

EVENS: Monday, July 28, at her home near Guilford Centre, Mrs. Julia Evens, widow of the late John Evens, "entered life eternal." She gave her heart to God in her youth, and walked in His ways all the days of her life. Reared in the early years of Methodism, her gentleness and simplicity of manner and dress were an unspoken rebuke to the frivolities and vanities of today. Her religion lightened her daily tasks, and helped her bear with faith and patience all the sorrows of life. She survived the loss of her husband about three years. Some time previous to his death they celebrated their golden wedding. Her father, the late Azor Burlison, owned a large tract of land, which he generously divided with his children, as they desired homes, so her life was passed surrounded by her kindred, and almost under the shadow of the old homestead. Her father was a willing servant in God's hands, and did much to establish Methodism. At Guilford Centre, in her young womanhood, she was a teacher, and I doubt not that she taught both by precept and example. On the table before me lies an open Bible, on the fly leaf of which, under her signature is written: "Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth." She was an earnest Christian, a devoted wife and mother, and God has given her the rest she so desired. Rev. Frisbee officiated at her funeral in an able and eloquent manner. The beautiful flowers which covered the casket, and filled the rooms with their fragrance, were loving tributes from many friends. Four of her grandsons bore the casket to the grave. Two sons and a daughter survive her; Mr. Guernsey Evens, of Guilford Centre; Mr. Hiram Evens, of California, and Mrs. Rhodes, of Syracuse. [Chenango Union, Aug. 7. 1890]
