The entire community were shocked last Tuesday afternoon by the announcement of the death of George R. Porter. Mr. Porter lives about two miles from the village, and after coming to town that afternoon was on his way home. He stopped a few moments at the door of H.C. Gregory, leaving his horse unhitched, when the horse started off up the road. Mr. Porter called to the horse, and failing to stop it, ran and got on the hind end of his low spring board wagon and managed to gain the seat and secure the lines. The horse continued to run, Mr. Porter being unable to check him until they reached the house of Mr. Redfield, across the upper bridge, when the horse came to a halt. Mr. Porter called for help and Mrs. Redfield came out and asked if he wished the gate to the lane opened. He replied no, and asked her to hold his horse. She stepped to the horse's head, and Mr. Sands and others then coming up saw that something was the matter with Mr. Porter, and procuring a chair proceeded to help him out. As he was lifted form the wagon he remarked that he was dying, and as he was placed in the chair, breathed his last. It is supposed that he died from heart disease, with which he has long been troubled, being aggravated by the excitement of his horse running. Mr. Porter was about 73 years of age, a member of the Baptist church, a consistent Christian man, beloved and respected by all who knew him. His son Wm. Porter and wife were at Philadelphia, and were telegraphed for and returned immediately.--Unadilla Times [Bainbridge Republican, Sept. 2, 1876]
