While Isaiah Manning was at work in the woods on Mr. N. Stowell's farm, about three miles from this place [Nineveh, Broome Co., NY], on Friday last, he was struck on the head by a limb falling from a dead tree. The injury was at first thought to be slight, but it proved to be fatal. Mr. Manning died Sabbath night. He was born in Coventry, but a few miles form here, and has spent his whole life in this vicinity, and the event has brought sadness to a large circle of friends and acquaintances.

Wm. McMullen, of Masonville, Delaware County, was run over and instantly killed on Monday of last week by one of the pushers (engines) running between Gulf Summit and Deposit. He had been to Gulf Summit to see an acquaintance, was returning to Deposit, walking on the track and when near the sand bank switch, met a freight train going west, took the opposite side of the track, and was run over by the pusher; his body was badly mangled, being caught by the firepan, and pushed over by the ties. He was about 23 years old. This is said to be the second similar case with that engineer. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan 3, 1874]
Died: In Port Huran, Mich. on Monday morning the 14th ult., Harriet S., daughter of James H. and Hannah Bailey, formerly of Guilford, this county [Chenango Co., NY], aged 23 years.
BURDICK: In Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 3d inst., Harvard Burdick, in the 90th year of his age. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 8, 1873].
PEARSOLL: In Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], on the 4th inst., Miss Caroline Pearsoll, aged 32 years. Miss Caroline Pearsoll was born in the town of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY]. Fourteen years ago she became a subject of saving grace, and was baptized by Rev. A. Reynolds, and united with the Harpursville Baptist Church, and at the time of her death was a member of the Bainbridge Baptist Church. For five years past she has been an invalid, and at times a great but patient sufferer. She and an older sister lived together, and seldom on this earth is there seen stronger and deeper affection than existed between them. On the surviving sister the cup will fall with great weight. During the last of her illness her sufferings were often intense, but she endured all with patient resignation, and as she neared the end manifested a firm and abiding trust in Christ, her accepted Redeemer, and said most touchingly "Jesus, lover of my soul, take me." Thus sinks the weary soul to rest. [Bainbridge Republican, Nov. 8, 1873]

"Departed daughter - sister - friend-
Why do we weep death's early doom?
A flower so sweet He could no longer lend;
God takes thee home, to Heaven to bloom."
