The Rev. Carroll Jenkins was instantly killed Friday afternoon, Apr. 13, near Smithville Flats [Chenango Co., NY], 20 miles from his home in Greenwich, when his truck was struck by a fast passenger train and demolished. He had been to Smithville Flats on a business trip and was coming home in his truck. when he reached the railroad crossing the lights were on. He apparently supposed they were for a slow freight which was coming down the track and that he had plenty of time to cross. he evidently did not look in the opposite direction where a fast passenger train was coming 60 miles an hour. Mr. Jenkins was killed instantly, his body horribly mangled, and the truck demolished. He had a large sum of money and a large check with him. These were found intact in the wreck.

BAKER: In Norwich, Dec. 14, 1863, Dr. Andrew Baker, aged 58 years. Dr. Baker removed to this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] from Bath, in 1848, and succeeded to the office and business of the late Dr. Mitchell. He secured a good practice, and his skill as a Medical man and Surgeon was deservedly high, both with his professional brethren and the community. Dr. B. has been prominent as a citizen in aiding and promoting every good work. He was benevolent to the full extent of his means, and the calls for charity were never unheeded by him. Though his health had not been firm for some time, his very rapid decline and sudden death were a surprise and shock to all. The Doctor was truly a man of mark, and his departure leaves a void not easy to fill. [Chenango Telegraph, Dec. 16, 1863]
RIDER: In Norwich, Dec. 13, 1863, George L. Rider, Esq. aged 71 years. Mr. Rider came to this town [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] from Coventry and has resided here near forty years. He was for some time a Hotel keeper and Stage Proprietor, and for many years a Contractor, builder and man of business generally. His judgment was good, and in his dealings he was prompt and square. He aided liberally in erecting and establishing the public buildings and institutions of this village. he was generous and benevolent to the worthy poor and in all respects was an estimable citizen. He often discharged the trusts of village and town officer, and at the time of his death was one of the Assessors of this town. [Chenango Telegraph, Dec. 16, 1863]
BALDWIN: In Norwich, Dec. 13, 1863, Deacon Joseph Baldwin, aged 48 years. Mr. Baldwin was a former respected resident of Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], of which town he had been Supervisor. He became a citizen of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] about nine years ago in consequence of his connection with the Piano establishment which ceased some time since. His constitution, never firm, has been for some time sinking under consumption. Mr. B. was pure, honest and upright in all his relations and he exemplified his Christian profession by a daily walk in the ways of goodness and practical religion. [Chenango Telegraph, Dec. 16, 1863]
BAKER: In Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 9th inst., Mrs. Lovina Baker, aged 94 years and 15 days. Aged pilgrim, thou art gone from these shores of trial, trouble, sin and sorrow, to a better home. Peacefully and happily hast thou lived during thy long pilgrimage, because thy every duty has been religiously done. Deceased was a native of Massachusetts, and at an early day was married to Joseph Baker. They resided in Massachusetts until their family had grown up around them, and were settled in life. But believing that they could better their circumstances by so doing, they removed to Guilford, Chenango Co., where Joseph Baker died the 2d day of Jan. 1850 aged 94 years. And now she who is the subject of this notice, is taken at the same age (nearly), and by the same disease--making a remarkable coincidence. They both lived a practical example of vital piety, striving to do their whole duty as husband and wife; as father and mother, as members of society at large, and as members of the Congregational Church. Deceased was always sought as a companion, by old and young and middle aged, because of the kindness and amiability of her nature and because the likeness of Christ was reflected in her every act, thought and words. We sorrow because we shall not have her example or counsel more; yet we rejoice when we reflect that at last she has arrived at the realms of eternal bliss, and that she has left her example and precepts behind that we may profit thereby. We trust that all who knew her will be better for having lived within the light of her holy example and precepts. Joseph and Lovina Baker both retained their mental vigor until the last.
