Harry Welch, 44, Wellsbridge [Otsego Co., NY] farmer, was killed almost instantly after 8 o'clock Saturday night when his car and a truck load of lumber collided just west of Wellsbridge. He was returning home from shopping to the home of Mrs. Maude Tuttle, with whom he had lived since he was 14 years old, when he met the truck at the top of a rise in the highway. The truck driver, William French of Whitney Point, told police that, just before they met, the Welch sedan swerved suddenly to the left. He said he tried to swing his truck to the right to avoid the collision. The impact was so great that the lumber went forward on the truck, piercing the cab and imprisoning Mr. French. It was necessary that the truck be unloaded before he could be removed from the truck. One of his hands was smashed. Mr. French was taken to the Bainbridge Hospital for treatment and later dismissed.

Mrs. May Lester died at home of her sister, Mrs. Nellie Wakeman, on Thursday morning, Aug. 11, after an illness of three years. She was born in Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] 46 years ago, the daughter of Elman and Jane Andrews. In 1912, she was married to Fred V. Lester and lived in Venice [Cayuga Co., NY] until the death of her husband three years ago, when her health became so impaired that she came to stay with her parents and sister here. After a prayer service at the home Sunday, the funeral was held in the Colwell Chapel with her immediate family in attendance and the Rev. George Underwood as minister. The burial was in East Venice where a brief service was conducted by the Rev. Langford, pastor of the Federated Church there, and a life long friend of Mr. and Mrs. Lester. Mrs. Lester was a member of the Federated church of Geneo and during her life there was active in all Christian work. No greater tribute could be paid her than that of a resident of East Venice, who said that the community had lost one of its very best friends. In times of illness and trouble, Mr. and Mrs. Lester were always the first to offer their services, and, because of their kindness, they were the first that people thought of in time of need. Many beautiful flowers were brought to the funeral. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Aug. 25, 1938]

Charles Hodge, a cigar maker residing at Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], was drowned in the Susquehanna river about two and a half miles below Bainbridge shortly after 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mr. Hodge and B. VanNostrand, of Oneonta were fishing from a boat which was anchored in the river at that point. The story of the accident as told by Mr. VanNostrand is as follows: The accident was caused by the slipping of the rope from the anchor stone when Mr. Hodge was pulling it up, so that the position of the boat might be changed. The sudden cessation of the strain occasioned by the dropping of the weight caused Mr. Hodge to stagger back and tip the boat over. The two men attempted to swim to the shore and after a struggle VanNostrant succeeded. Mr. Hodge was encumbered with rubber boots, but refused any assistance from his companion. When Mr. Van Nostrand had reached shore, he looked back, but Mr. Hodge had gone down. [Otsego Journal, Sept. 6, 1894]
