"Jolly's" Travelings Over

 

 

William H. Joles 

 

Oxford [Chenango Co., NY]:  Sunday in this village a figure very familiar to the residents of this county passed away when William H. Joles died.  Deceased was in his 65th year and was born in Columbus this county.  Ever since the war he traveled through this section peddling Yankee notions, and his honesty and truthfulness made him a welcome visitor in many homes.  He had a cheerful disposition, so much so that he was known in the Unadilla and Sauquoit valleys as "Jolly."

 

The sad and sudden death yesterday morning of Mrs. S.F. Carpenter occasioned much sorrow among her innumerable friends.  Her death, though expected, was a severe shock in the family, who were gathered about the bedside when the messenger of death appeared at 5:15 o'clock.  Mrs. Carpenter's maiden name was Angie L. Derby.  She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H.W. Derby of Afton, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], where she was born not quite 31 years ago.  She was married to Mr. Carpenter Dec. 30, 1885, and in 1888, with her husband removed to this city, where she has since resided.  Her father died at the home of his daughter in this city in December last, and her mother was present when her beloved daughter breathed her last.  Mrs. Carpenter was a lady of many excellent traits of character and was a great favorite in both her own family and that of her husband.  since her residence in this city, a large circle of friends gathered round her, attracted by her quiet manner and pleasing disposition.  Mrs. Carpenter is survived by her mother, Mrs. Derby, her husband, S.F. Carpenter, business manager of the Herald, two children, one a boy of 5 and the other a babe of one week, and two brothers, Frank Derby of this city and W.C. Derby of Afton. The funeral services will be conducted at the house on Spring street this evening.  The remains will be taken to Afton Thursday morning and interment will be made in the family plot.  [Angie Derby Carpenter, 1864 - 1895, buried in Glenwood Cemetery, Afton, NY]
