Obituaries (June 14)

The funeral of Tiffany Velmore Tryon was held Tuesday, Aug. 18, in the Lenz Funeral Home at Canajoharie, with the Rev. Shimer, of St. Mark's Lutheran Church officiating.  The deceased was born in Middleburg, Schoharie County, on March 10, 1878, the son of Jamimah and John Tryson, and spent most of his life in that vicinity where he worked as a farmer.  Having retired from the farm, Mr. Tryon was employed as a guard in the Sidney Scintilla plant, where he worked constantly since last September, making his home in Bainbridge with his daughter, Mrs. John Armstrong.  On Aug. 15, apparently in the best of health, Mr. Tryon retired for the evening. Subsequent cries from his room called John Armstrong to the bedside, where he found his father-in-law in the throes of a heart attack, evidently suffered in his sleep.  Aid proved useless and death followed quickly.  Surviving are five daughters, Miss Ethel Tryon, Mrs. Marion Oliver, Mrs. Esther Cottrell, of Canajoharie; Miss Dorothy Tryon, of Detroit, Mich.; and Mrs. John Armstrong, of Bainbridge.  In attendance at the funeral were four of Mr. Tryon's fellow guards:  George Darrin, Lee Utter, Harry Hurlburt and Henry Yenson.  Interment was in Cobleskill Cemetery.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Aug. 27, 1942]

The community was shocked to learn of the death of Pearl Dorman Conrow, wife of Ralph Conrow, early Saturday morning, Aug. 29, at her home in Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY].  She had not been in good health for some time, suffering from a chronic heart condition.  The night before she had been worse, and it was found necessary to call in the doctor, nevertheless her passing was very unexpected.  Mr and Mrs. Conrow were residents, of Guilford for many years.  She leaves two sisters in Guilford, Mrs. James Horton and Mrs. Ransome Ives, and another sister, Mrs. DeForest, in Oneonta, also a brother, Bert Dorman, of Newburgh.  Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the late residence.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Sept. 3, 1942]

Death From an Overdose of Medicine:  Dr. T.M. Mann, formerly of Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY], died in Otselic [Chenango Co., NY] on the 20th ult., from the effects of an overdose of medicine.  He had taken a severe cold the week previous, and on Sunday was quite ill; he sent for his partner, Dr. Mason, who found his left lower lung congested, and prepared some medicine, cautioning him against taking too large a dose.  Before leaving, Dr. Mason prepared some of Tilden's Extract of Gelseminum, which Dr. Mann was in the habit of taking, and again cautioned him about taking too large doses.  Dr. Mann took about one-half of the prescription at one dose, and some time after felt the ill effects.  His wife assisted him to bed, and applied remedies as he suggested.  Dr. Mason was called, who found him shaking under the effect of an overdose of the gelseminum and he soon died.  A Coroner's inquest was held and jury returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts.  --Sherburne News  [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 4, 1876]
