Mr. Whittemore was a member of the Chenango County Board of Supervisors for several years, representing the Town of Guilford. He was a member of several important committees during his terms of service. Quiet and unassuming in his ways, he was held in the highest respect by his many friends and associates. For several years he was engaged in the feed business in Guilford. The deceased was a life-long member of the Guilford Methodist church, and as long as his health permitted, he attended service regularly. Mr. Whiteemore was a member of Oxford Lodge, 175, F.&A.M., and a Masonic service was held Friday night at the Seymour funeral Home in Oxford.

A lad by the name of Jay Manchester, aged about 13 years, living with John Denton, in Pittsfield [Otsego Co., NY], was accidentally hung on Sunday morning, 21st ult. As we learn the facts they are as follows: Young Manchester got up on Sunday morning and went after the cows. After driving them up, and while waiting for Mr. Denton to come and assist him in milking, he went upon the hay mow, where he and other boys had put up a swing, it is thought for the purpose of swinging. The end of the rope at which he took hold of had a loop in it, and it is thought that he rested his chin in said loop, with his hands hold of the rope, and commenced to swing and then jump, as had been his practice, when the rope slipped over his head, coming so suddenly about his neck as to at once render him unable to extricate himself. Those who visited the place and saw the rope, and we believe the Coroner's jurycame to the above conclusion. He was a bright, active boy, and lived with Mr. Denton and his family happily, and that morning, just previous to the sad accident which caused his death, was lively and full of fun, going about his chores in the best of spirits.
