Charles Goodwin Injured by Bull
]Bainbridge News & Republican, July 27, 1944

Charlie Goodwin had the misfortune to be attacked very early Tuesday morning by the large show bull owned by Goodwin Bros. [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY]  He was alone in the pasture at the time, others in the family having not arisen as yet, when the animal turned on him.  It was only when he got a hold on him by grasping the ring in his nose, that he managed to get near a tree and climb into it.  Finally the animal wandered away.  Mr. Goodwin received cuts and bruises around his body and face, broken teeth and badly cut lips.  Dr. A.H. Evans was called and found no broken bones or internal injuries.  He was indeed lucky that he came out of the accident as well as he did.  This is the first time any of their Brown Swiss bulls have ever given any trouble.

Mabel Fish Rolled by Rake When Horses Run Away
Bainbridge News & Republican, August 10, 1944

Miss Mabel Fish, who resides on a farm with her mother about one-half mile from West Davenport, escaped serious injury on Tuesday.  While raking hay the team apparently became frightened by bees and ran away.  Miss Fish was thrown under the rake and was rolled for some distance, but in some manner was released from the teeth.  The team ran on finally colliding with the corner of the house when both horses were thrown.  The tongue of the rake was broken in many pieces and one horse received a small cut.  Otherwise no damage was done.  Miss Fish was severely bruised, one arm and shoulder injured and one side of her face and neck received severe bruises.  However, she was able to help extricate the animals which ended their wild dash some little distance from her. 

Mt. Upton Baptist Church Dedicated
Bainbridge Republican, January 22, 1876

Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY]:  The dedication of the new Baptist church at Mt. Upton took place January 13th, and the debt, over three thousand dollars, was provided for.  Rev Mr. Haynes of Norwich preached an excellent dedicatory sermon, and managed the financial part admirably.  It was a great triumph that the beautiful temple was at length dedicated free from debt.  Rev. Mr. Chamberlain of New Berlin preached in the evening.  Sixty years ago he preached in the Episcopal church of Mt. Upton, which was then a Baptist church. That generation has passed away, and the Reverend speaker was almost the only representative of hose days. He, in a greene old age, preaches the same glorious gospel to which men listened more than half a century ago.
