Rev. Charles D. Reed, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Watervliet [Albany Co., NY], passed away last week at the Samaritan Hospital, Troy, following an illness of about two months duration. He had been under treatment at the hospital for several weeks. Reverend Reed was well known in this village where for nearly six years, from 1899 to 1905, he had been pastor of the Baptist church. During his residence here he made a host of friends who will remember him as "a real man among men," interested in all the activities of the town and a friend to every person with whom he came in contact. The Troy Times-Record gives the following account of his life. Rev. Mr. Reed was born at Penn Yan [Yates Co., NY] Nov. 4, 1866, and had been in the ministry for 39 years. His first pastorate was at Schuyler Lake where he was ordained in 1896. Following his service there he was called to Bainbridge where for nearly six years he filled the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, resigning in 1905 to become pastor of the Baptist Church at Jamestown, N.Y. In 1913 he assumed the pastorate of the Baptist Church at Reynoldsville, Pa., continuing in that charge two years before accepting a call to the pastorate of Hedstron Memorial Baptist church, Buffalo. There he remained until 1917 when he took charge of the Baptist church at Newark, N.Y. For the past nine years he has filled the pastorate at Watervliet. Mr. Reed for many years took a prominent part in Baptist activities. For ten years he served as recording secretary of the Baptist State convention and for five years he was secretary of the World Wide Baraca Philathea Union. He also served as a member of the Board of Missionary Co-operative Committee of the Hudson River North Association, as vice-president of the Ministers' Association of Troy and Vicinity, and as president of the Hudson Valley Bible Fellowship. The funeral was conducted from the First Baptist church, Watervliet, with Rev. Frederick Allen, pastor First Baptist Church, Troy, assisted by other Troy area clergymen, officiating. Rev. Mr. Reed is survived by his wife, Mabel Burbridge Reed, whom he married at Penn Yan on March 12, 1890. and a son, J. Kenneth Reed, of Newark, N.Y. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 9, 1936]
On Monday afternoon of this week, January 27th., a large company of relatives and friends assembled at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Rockwood in this village, to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of Mr. John Dorman, who, after a long and distressing illness, passed form the life which is transient to that which is spiritual and immortal. Mr. Dorman was the father of three sons and seven daughters, all of whom, excepting his daughters Kate and Esther, survive him. Besides his faithful and loving wife, his three sons, Joel Curtis and John, and five daughters, Mrs. Lola Wells, Mrs. Rosalia H. McLagan, Mrs. Bell Loomis, Mrs. Robert Rockwood and Mrs. Addie Gibbs remain to mourn his loss. He also leaves a brother David Dorman and a sister Mrs. Sally North. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Perrine, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Olmstead and the singers Stanford Reynolds, Arthur Turner, Mrs. Ray Hall and Mamie Winsor. The bearers were Andrew Dickinson, Zelotes Burton, W.O. Nash and Eddie Wade. The arrangements for the funeral under the direction of B.A. Fleming, were excellent and highly approved by all. The remains were laid to rest in the Guilford Cemetery, with the prayer and in the hope of a better life beyond the grave. [Guilford Mail, March 1902]
On Sunday morning, the 14th inst., Mrs. Cynthia H. Maynard, wife of Hon. Arba K. Maynard, of St. Paul, Minn., and some thirty years since a resident of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], met with a terrible death from fire, at Hillsdale, Columbia County. For years past deceased had not lived with her husband, and for some time previous to her death had made it her home with Thomas Owens, of Hillsdale, who was formerly employed upon the farm of her husband, and had married his adopted daughter, but is now a widower with two children. Mr. Owens had arisen on that morning, kindled a fire in the kitchen stove, and went out to do his chores. He was soon after startled by the cries of his little girl, who ran from the house in her night dress crying "Grandma is burning up." Hurrying to the house, he found the unfortunate woman in the pantry adjoining the kitchen, enveloped in flames, which she was vainly endeavoring to quench by throwing water upon her person with a dipper, from a pail. Mr. Owens threw a bed quilt over her, and wrapping her in it, laid her upon her bed, but she died instantly, giving but a gasp. It is supposed that deceased was busying herself in preparing breakfast, and that the sleeve of her dress took fire from the stove, from which a cover was removed. From a scorched spot upon the kitchen floor it was evident that she had thrown herself upon it, hoping to extinguish the flames, when her screams aroused the little girl. She was terribly burned about the breast and vitals. Mrs. Maynard was for something like seven years an inmate of the Insane Asylum at Utica, which institution she left, with reason restored, about four years since, and for a time made it her home with her sister, Mrs. Thomas Stackhouse, of this village, when she removed to Hillsdale. Many who made her acquaintance while here, will regret her sad death. Her age was fifty-two years. [Chenango Union, Jan. 25, 1877]
ALLFREY: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 9, 1864, Charles E. Son of Henry and Mary Ann Allfrey, aged 10 years, 7 months and 19 days. Charlie was a precious boy, just such an one as Jesus loves to take up into his kingdom, and place very near his throne. Never have we seen one so young so perfectly fitted for the skies, or one so willing to exchange the world and life on earth for a home in glory. Always in his place in the Sabbath School, and in the Church he would listen to the "Word of Life," with marked attention. He was truly a child of prayer. Then weep not fond parents over the death of one so dear to you as your little boy but think of him as enjoying the bliss of the redeemed, and may He be to three as a "light in the window" to beacon your spirit on to the skies. [Chenango Telegraph, Feb. 17, 1864]
SLATER: In Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 7, 1864, Mary Janett, in the 16th year of her age. Also John Wilson in the in the 8th year of his age, children of Joseph and Alma L. Slater. Disease did its work with the young lady and her brother very quick. Her sickness lasted only four days, but verily her death was glorious. In her illness she evinced a calm patient and trustful spirit, giving evidence that she felt her work was done, and that her soul was ready for her heavenly home. Her uniform kindness drew around her many friends, whose tears at her funeral told how they loved her. She sleeps beside her little brother in the same grave. He died of the same disease, on the same day, only twelve hours after his sister. May parents and friends meet them in heaven. [Chenango Telegraph, Feb. 17, 1864]
