Obituaries (August 26)

Philip Bell, of Port Jervis [Orange Co., NY], suffered a heart attack and died at the wheel of his auto in Middletown [Orange Co., NY] last Tuesday.  As Bell Collapsed his car swerved to the right, went over an embankment and came to a stop against a tree at the edge of a brook.  His wife, Ella, who was with him in the car, told police later that she saw her husband slump over the wheel and leaped from the auto just before it went over the embankment.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Sept. 13, 1945]

Mrs. Alice Rhinevault Knapp, 31, of Montrose [PA], died of a broken neck after the convertible coupe which she was driving got out of control near Lake Carey, Pa., between Tunkhannock and Montrose, tore out several posts from a guard rail and overturned several times.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Sept. 13, 1945]

Mrs. Emma Sullivan, 58, of Owego [Tioga Co., NY], was instantly killed Sunday night when she was struck by a freight train at a crossing in Owego.  According to a watchman, who was on duty at the crossing, Mrs. Sullivan had gone under the gates which were down at the time, and ignoring his yells of warning, walked into the path of the on-coming train.  Apparently she then realized her danger and began to run, but was hit and thrown a distance of 90 feet.  [Bainbridge News & Republican, Sept. 13, 1945]

The community was startled on Saturday morning last by the announcement that James Hayes, an old and much esteemed resident of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], was early that morning found dead in his bed.  Mr. Hayes had for several months been in poor health, and was evidently gradually failing, yet his friends did not anticipate that his end was so near.  He had nearly reached his seventy-fourth year, and during his long life he has been a model of industry and integrity.  Unassuming in his manner, pleasing in his intercourse with all, and scrupulously honest, he had won the confidence and respect of all classes, who sympathize with his daughter, the only surviving member of the family, his wife having died several years since.  His funeral was largely attended on Sunday afternoon, Rev. D.E. Loveridge officiating.  Deceased was a brother of E.T. Hayes, Esq.--Union  [Bainbridge Republican, Aug. 12, 1876]
