A terrible accident happened near the village of Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], about eight miles from Norwich, Christmas day. Mr. Burdette Belding and wife, at whose home the accident happened, went to New Berlin to make a visit, and left four children at home to look after the house and do the chores. Pearl, a little girl about 9 years of age, was engaged in getting breakfast and attempted to remove the kettle in which she was boiling potatoes. Finding the pail hot she took hold of it with her apron or dress, and in removing the kettle her clothing took fire. She attempted to run to the barn where the older child was engaged in doing the chores, but as soon as she got out doors she lay down and rolled over in the snow. She repeated this operation four times before she reached the barn, each time supposing that she had extinguished the flames. She was badly burned, and suffered severely until four o'clock the next day, when death came to her relief. [Afton Enterprise, Jan. 1, 1891]
We are called upon this week to chronicle the death of Mr. Ralph Chamberlin, which occurred last week Thursday. Mr. Chamberlin has been in poor health for some time, the trouble being a lung difficulty, but his death was not expected so soon, he being about our streets the evening previous. The funeral was held Sunday, and the remains were deposited in the cemetery on the east side [Afton, Chenango Co., NY]. His age was 50 years. [Afton Enterprise, Jan. 1, 1891]
The Norwich correspondent of the Binghamton Republican says: Thursday about 5 p.m., Freddie Roberts, a bright little boy and a companion about the same age were sliding from the iron bridge at South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY] when they lost control of the sled and Freddie was thrown into the creek, which at the time was high and the current rapid. He was carried into the river and drowned. The body was found in a cove about three quarters of a mile below, by the distracted father who entered the stream where his darling boy died and waded and swam until he found his body as stated. This is a sad case, rendered more so from the fact that the boy's mother whose care he needed is an inmate of the Utica Insane Asylum. The father's name is John Roberts and he has three sisters and one brother residing here. [Afton Enterprise, Feb. 26, 1891]
