Miss Pearl Belding, age 70 years, passed away at the Syracuse Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, June 5, following a critical operation, from which she failed to rally. Her illness was of a serious nature, yet only of a month's duration. She was employed as a Nurse's Aid at the T.B. Sanitarium and had been in her usual good health, when suddenly stricken. Final services were held from the Delaney and Dodge Funeral Home at East Syracuse Friday afternoon. For many years, Miss Belding has visited the Murray home in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], Mrs. Murray's and Miss Belding's friendship having dated back many years, when they were both employed in the same office in Syracuse, Miss Belding as private secretary and Mrs. Murray as clerk. This friendship has continued through the years and many pleasant memories Miss Belding may have recalled in her final illness of the pleasant days spent in Guilford. Always when she visited here special things were planned among her friends here and in Oxford, to make the time pass pleasantly. Her passing came as a great shock to her friends, but as her illness was incurable, it was a blessing she was taken quickly and did not have to linger and suffer.

LEONARD: At 424 South Hill street Tuesday, October 2 [1906], George C. Leonard, aged sixty-three years. We take the foregoing from the Los Angeles Examiner, which will be of interest to many of the older inhabitants of Deposit. Mr. Leonard was a resident of this place for many years. His wife, Kate Kingsley was a Deposit girl. The couple had gone to California with the hope that the climate might be beneficial to him, as he was a great sufferer from rheumatism, and had not been able to walk in nearly a year. The sympathy of Mrs. Leonard's many friends here will go out to her in her sorrow.
