The subject of the following order was a brother of Mr. J.S. Osmond, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY]. He was born in Willett, Cortland county, which place and German, in this County [Chenango, NY] was his early home, and where he leaves many kind friends, who will deeply mourn his dearly death. We clip the following from an Indiana Journal:
Headquarters Department of Alaska, Sitea, Alaska Territory June 25, '68: It is with deep regret that the Brevet Major General commanding announces to the Department the death of Lieutenant B.W. Livermore, Second Artillery, killed on the 20th inst. by the accidental discharge of a Henry rifle. Lieutenant Livermore was born in the State of New York. He entered the volunteer service at the breaking out of the rebellion as a private; was promoted to a Sergeant; afterwards to a Lieutenant, which position he held, with distinction, during the war. He was appointed Second Lieutenant, Second Artillery, Regular Army, May 11th, 1866, and by his death his regiment has been deprived of the services of a valuable officer. His manner and uniform courtesies won him the admiration of all. Cut down in the vigor of health and prime of manhood, his brother officers have lost a true friend and comrade, the army a faithful and gallant officer. It will be a source of great satisfaction to his relations and friends, in the midst of their grief, to know that Lieutenant Livermore was not only esteemed by his brother officers but also by the citizens of the post at which he was serving, as they, together with the military, accompanied the remains to the burial ground. The usual badge of mourning will be worn by the officers of the department for thirty days. By command of Brevet major General Davis--Samuel B. McIntire, Brevet Captain U.S.A. and A.A.A.G. [Chenango Telegraph & Chronicle, Dec. 9, 1868]
A sad accident occurred on Monday evening the 14th inst., on the Indian Brook about three miles southwest of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY]. Leroy Adams a little boy about nine years old, son of Ezra Adams, left home early in the evening to spend an hour or two at Mrs. Wm. C. Dunn's. While there, he and Willie Dunn a boy about eleven years old were playing with a rifle unaware that it was loaded, when by some accident it suddenly discharged and shot Leroy through the head; the ball entered the base of the skull about the middle of the inferior border of the temporal bone and came out near the superior angle of the occipital. Dr. Wood was sent for immediately but the boy did not live more than five or ten minutes after he was shot. He was dead before his father or the neighbors had time to get there. He was one of those little boys that every body loves and his death has caused a great deal of sorrow in the neighborhood, especially among his school mates, with whom he was a general favorite. It was a sad sight for his parents to see him carried home dead about the time he ought to have returned from his evening's visit. both the boys were particular friends to each other and Willis is a very mild good natured boy, entirely free of all those mischievous tricks which are common amongst boys of his age--American [Chenango Telegraph & Chronicle, Dec. 23, 1858]
Died, in Brooklyn, N.Y., April 5th, 1881, at the home of her son, Hiram P. Cable, Esq., Sarah, widow of the late Daniel P. Cable, aged 71 years, formerly of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. In 1854 Mrs. Cable with her husband and three children removed to Brooklyn. She had been in feeble health for some months, but displayed, in all her sufferings, the same brave, cheerful spirit that characterized her whole life. As a wife, she was ever kind and affectionate; as a mother and friend, a true woman. What more need be said? She lived and died a consistent member of the Episcopal Church. Her remains were brought here by the family for interment on Thursday afternoon last. The group of sympathizing friends who met them at the depot attested well the regard for the departed dead, and the worthy living. As the sun was sinking behind the hills she loved so well, they laid her at rest, finding consolation in their sorrow, in the words of the voice heard from Heaven; "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
