Charles C. Bloom, for many years a well known farmer of Yaleville [Chenango Co., NY], dropped dead on his farm there at the age of 72, at about 4:30 Monday morning. Death was caused by arterio sclerosis. Mr. Bloom had arisen early as was his custom, and had climbed to the top of a steep hill in search of his cows when he was stricken. He fell face down and some time later was found by relatives as he had fallen. Dr. Evans, of Guilford, was called immediately, and later Dr. Bennett, of this place, was called. Doctors agreed that death was caused by a heart attack, due to hardening of the arteries together with the climb up the steep hill. Mr. Bloom was born in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], Mar. 25, 1861. At the age of four years he came with his parents to live on the farm at Yaleville, where he passed his entire life. He is survived by one son, Charles, of Guilford, and two daughters, both of Binghamton. [Bainbridge News & Republican, May 25, 1933]

Death of Jabez Robinson: Another aged citizen has been gathered to his fathers--another land mark of early days and of plaintive simplicity has been removed. This melancholy event took place at his late residence in this town [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY] after a brief and painful illness, on Thursday the 25th ult.-- Mr. Robinson was born at Lebanon, New London County, Conn., on the 19th of April, 1783. He removed from his native place to this county, in the year 1808, and settled in Oxford, on the west side of the Chenango river, where, or near the place where his brother Dan H. Robinson, Esq., now resides. In the second great struggle of this then infant country to preserve and perpetuate the liberties won in the Revolution, he entered the service of his country in the forces raised by his adopted State, and remained therein until the close of the war. Mr. Robinson never forgot, and was never recreant to the teachings of his childhood and early years. Integrity marked and controlled his every dealing with his fellow men. Rectitude and honesty were a part of the religion in which he believed, and which in all things he ever practiced. A generous hospitality of the New England type, ever gave not only to friends and acquaintances a cheerful and hearty welcome to his home, and his fireside, but was also extended to the wayfarer and pilgrim tossed and buffeted on life's varying sea. He was often in early ears the recipient of the favor and confidence of his fellow townsmen in the selection to fill various public trusts, and in November 1834, was elected Sheriff of the county for three years, commencing January 1st, 1835. In all the various stations which he was called upon to fill from time to time, he was faithful, deserving and fully adhering to the tenets of his early education. A devoted and warm hearted friend, a kind husband and father, a good neighbor and honest man, he has filled the measure of his days, and now sleeps full of years, honored and lamented. --Oxford Times [Chenango Union, Mar. 9, 1864]
Charles, youngest son of Henry and Mary A. Allfrey, died of scarlet fever, Feb. 9th, 1864, in the eleventh year of his age. "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 thee as a "light in the window," to beckon your spirits to that 'better land'."

In Pharsalia, Feb. 7th, 1864, Mary Jenett, in the 16th year of her age; also, John Wilson, in the 8th year of his age--children of Joseph and Alma L. Slater. Disease did its work with this young lady and her little brother, very quick. Her illness lasted only four days, but verily her death was glorious. In her sickness she evinced a calm, patient and trustful spirit, giving evidence that she felt that 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 on the same day, of the same disease, only twelve hours after his sister. May parents and friends meet them in heaven. [Chenango Union, Feb. 17, 1864]
