It is with regret that we announce the death of George L. Winsor, Esq., which occurred on Tuesday morning last, after an illness of several months with that dread disease, consumption.

FENTON-In this city [Flint, MI], on the 9th inst., of consumption, Adelaide S. Fenton, wife of Col. Wm. M. Fenton, aged 56 years. Mrs. F. was born in Norwich, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], where she spent her youth, and formed that character which so endeared her to her friends, and made her life so useful to society, and an ornament in every circle in which she ahs been called to move. Mrs. F. possessed a mind of high order, sound in judgment, discriminating in character, firm in her principles, yet kind and courteous in her intercourse with all with whom she had to do. She was one of those few happy spirits, who know how to secure the love and affection of all who came under her influence. No lady in this city had more or warmer friends, and none will be more deeply mourned. When death claims such an one for his victim, the whole community feel a loss which cannot soon be repaired. The afflicted family have our warmest sympathy and we know we speak the public mind of this city, when we say that the whole community join with us in tendering condolence to their deep sorrow. Her death, though somewhat sudden to her friends, was not unexpected to herself. For some years she had been a professor of religion, a member of the episcopal Church in this city; and her life adorned her profession and showed the reality of her religion. Her end was peace. Today her funeral was attended by the Rev. H.H. Northup at the home of Col. Fenton, where a large concourse of citizens were present, who bore her remains for burial to our beautiful cemetery.--Flint (Mich.) Globe Nov. 13. [Chenango Telegraph & Chronicle, Dec. 9, 1868]
