The passing of Ward V. Randall occurred Sunday, Feb. 9, at 11:30 a.m. He was born Oct. 1, 1888, in the town of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], the son of Etta and Delos Randall. When a boy, he moved to Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] with the family. He was married to Miss Mabel J. Ray, daughter of Amy and Edward Ray, of Liberty, in 1910. The greater part of his life was spent in Guilford and for the past 17 years he had been a successful farmer in Ives Settlement. His favorite trade was carpenter work. He was ambitious and industrious, making it very hard for him to give up. He ceased activities in 1934 because of his continued ill health. The last three months of his life were very depressing, his illness necessitating his confinement, and death came as a release from intense suffering. Surviving are the widow and six children, Gerald, Dorothy, Carl, Orison, Inez and Stanley; his mother, Mrs. Etta Randall; a sister, Jenny, all of them from Guilford, a half-sister, Mrs. LaVerne Butts, of Connecticut; several nieces and nephews, and an aged aunt, Miss Edna Saunders, of Bainbridge. He was affiliated with the M.E. Church in his home town for many years. Funeral services were held Wednesday, Feb. 12, at 2 p.m. from the Colwell Bros Chapel in Bainbridge, the Rev. Leon Bouton officiating. The remains were placed in the vault to await burial in the spring. The bearers were Clinton Burlison, Everett Shapley, Stuart Ives and Lewis Ives.

Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]: Nancy Emeline Robinson quietly passed away Sunday morning, Feb. 16, at her home on Depot street after several years of intense suffering. In 1931 she suffered a stroke which left her left side paralyzed and since then she has not walked, only being able to get around in a chair. She was the daughter of Franklin Benjamin and Emeline (Huntley) Robinson, having been born in the town of Guilford on Gospel Hill June 23, 1860, on the farm which was owned by the Robinson family for over 70 years, her parents coming here from Cortland. Practically her whole life had been spent in Guilford. She was the fifth of a family of six children, David Jerome, Lucy Ella, Henry, William, herself and Adrian Tisdale. The first four have preceded her to the rest eternal. She was a member of the Guilford M.E. Church having been brought to the Savior when a young girl, under the pastorate of Rev. Ira B. Hyde of the Guilford church. The writer of this brief sketch, a brother, will leave others to express the value in which Nancy was held among her neighbors and friends. As a sister, her memory will be a lasting and recedicent treasure, never to be forgotten. The pastor spoke a splendid message from Romans 8:10, the words of which were so great a comfort to her. "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us." Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from Seymour's chapel in Oxford, Rev. Leon Bouton officiating. The body will be placed in the vault at Oxford, awaiting burial in the early spring in the family plot in Sunset Hill cemetery, Guilford beside her parents and loved ones, those who survives are one brother, Adrian Tisdale, of Guilford; two nieces, Mrs. Ella Barstow of Binghamton and Mrs. Emma Whaley of Johnson City, and several great nieces and nephews. To the brother, Adrian, the entire community extends most sincere sympathy in his loss. Sister and companion, they have weathered the storms of life together, sharing with each other its joys and vicissitudes. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Feb. 20, 1936]

Monday afternoon on December 9th Willie Newell and Fred Nearing were out rabbit hunting on the farm formerly owned by William Smith on the eastern border of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]. They were on the back end of the farm and a mile or more from the road. Nearing was out in the open field sitting on a stump while Newell went into the woods to start the game. While there he heard the report of a gun and some one hallow. He immediately went where Nearing was and found him lying on the ground bleeding profusely. He said, "I am shot."

He had held the office of Supervisor of his town, as well as other minor offices, within the gift of his townsmen. He lived to see grown to manhood a large and intelligent family, most of whom had become settlers in the distant South and West. [Chenango Union, Dec. 16, 1863]
