A very pathetic incident occurred at the funeral of the late William Fielden.  Mr. Fielden has no relatives in this country and his faithful dog was the nearest mourner.  When the neighbors gathered to pay their last respects to the deceased they found the dog sitting at the head of the casket where he was allowed to remain until it was carried to the hearse; the dog walked beside the hearse to the cemetery, some 3-1/2 miles, and when the casket was taken into the vault he was allowed to follow; after the brief service there he returned to the old home with the neighbors, and has been taken by Thomas Ball to whom Mr. Fielden gave him before he died. It was stated by those who attended the funeral that the dog seemed to realize what was taking place and really exhibited signs of genuine sorrow--Morris Chronicle.  [Afton Enterprise, Jan. 29, 1891]

Guilford Centre [Chenango Co., NY]:  In looking over the old year which is past out and gone for ever, many sad changes are brought to view.  Death has often been among us and many in and near this place have been called to their final account.  Death is sad at all times even when the threescore and ten years have been large exceeded, but more especially so when early manhood just entering upon the busy scenes of active life is cut down.  It is at that period life seems most desirable, the goal of happiness in the distance is resplendent with all that imagination can picture--courage and hope go hand in hand regardless of all obstacles, every effort is for the future--when suddenly the grave closes over all earthly ambition.  Next week, with your permission we shall give the names of all those who have died in or near this place during the year 1875.  [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 22, 1876]
