North Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]:  It is with sadness we announce the death of Miss Alice Arnold, who will be sadly missed both in the home and in this neighborhood, where she has spent her life.  She has been a brave, energetic and helpful woman carrying on the farm successfully for a number of years.  She has made a brave fight against disease the past year, but the angel of death claimed her on Saturday, Aug. 24.  A large number of friends and relatives gathered to pay their last respects and bring tokens of love in the shape of water lilies and many beautiful flowers Tuesday at twelve o'clock.  Her pastor, Rev. E. Kilpatrick, made a brief but excellent address.  Cyrus Brown and daughter of Norwich sang some beautiful duets.  Burial was made at White Store cemetery [Chenango Co., NY].

"Well done, we seem to hear

These blessed words of cheer

From whence the spirit's flown,

Faithful and true to every trust

Whlist bound to mortal dust.

Come from the Eternal Throne."

Died, in Brooklyn, N.Y., April 5th, 1881, at the home of her son, Hiram P. Cable, Esq., Sarah, widow of the late Daniel P. Cable, aged 71 years, formerly of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY].  In 1854 Mrs. Cable with her husband and three children removed to Brooklyn.  She had been in feeble health for some months, but displayed in all her sufferings, the same brave, cheerful spirit that characterized her whole life.  As a wife, she was ever kind and affectionate; as a mother and friend, a true woman.  What more need be said?  She lived and died a consistent member of the Episcopal Church.  Her remains were brought here by the family for interment, on Thursday afternoon last. The group of sympathizing friends who met them at the depot attested well the regard for the departed dead, and the worthy living.  As the sun was sinking behind the hills she loved so well, they laid her at rest, finding consolation in their sorrow, in the words of the voice heard from Heaven:  "Blessed are the dead that died in the Lord."  [Chenango Union, Apr. 14, 1881]
