Mrs. Mary Woodworth: The death of the mother of George M. Woodworth and Mrs. J.M . Roberts of Bainbridge, occurred Sunday morning at the home of her son, Ira Woodworth, in the town of Windsor [Broome Co., NY]. Mrs. Woodworth had enjoyed good health notwithstanding her advanced age, her next birthday bringing her to ninety-five years. She sat down to her dinner on Thursday, Jan. 29, with the family, appearing usually well, when she was seized with strangulation. Those at the table sprang to her assistance and a doctor was called. Mrs. Woodworth continued to suffer much for twenty-four hours when her pains subsided. Her physician thought her illness was due to a violent attack of pneumonia. Mr. Solomon Woodworth, the husband of the deceased, died by an accident at Vallonia Springs thirty years ago. He was a farmer and an extensive cattle buyer in those years when large droves, consisting of hundreds of heads of cattle, were accumulated and driven to large cities, many days being consumed in the long travel. Mr. and Mrs. Woodworth belonged to the sturdy, honest, reliable portion of the founders of this section of the country and were greatly esteemed. Mrs. Woodworth since her husband's death has resided with her son, Ira, at Windsor. She enjoyed life greatly, was fond of reading, her intellect being very keen. Mrs. Woodworth visited in Bainbridge occasionally and it was a rare treat to listen to her reminiscences of the early part of the century, her intelligent relation being very interesting and clear. The funeral of Mrs. Woodworth was held Sunday morning at ten o'clock from her late home, and burial was at Plains cemetery in the town of Windsor. Those present from Bainbridge were George M. Woodworth and two granddaughters of the deceased, Mrs. W.W. Hovey and Mrs. C.W. Ireland. Besides the three children, Ira, and George M. Woodworth, and Mrs. J.M. Roberts, another daughter Mrs. Newby, resides in Duane. [Feb. 1, 1903]

Our fellow townsman, Mr. Edgar D. Hayes, came to his death December 9th from an accident while working in the woods, the particulars of which have been published. The funeral was held December 12th, Rev. Arthur Spaulding officiating, the interment was in St. Peter's cemetery [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY]. Edgar D. Hayes was born in the town of Oxford, June 24th, 1845. His boyhood and youth were spent in the town of Coventry, whither his parents moved soon after his birth. He came to Bainbridge about thirty-five years ago and January 24th, 1871, married Electa, daughter of Deacon Giles and Lucinda Smith. He thus entered by marriage one of the oldest families in this valley; Mrs. Hayes being of direct lineage with Deacon Israel Smith who fought in the battle of Saratoga, and in 1789 settled on the east side of the river opposite the month of the Unadilla. Mr. and Mrs. Hayes lived on the old Stockwell homestead about a mile from the village, which has been in the Stockwell family for more than a century. During Mr. Hayes long residence in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], he made many warm friends. His nature disposed him toward friendship. He was of kindly instincts, genial disposition and was possessed of an undercurrent of humor that made him a pleasant companion. He was sympathetic toward those in trouble and always ready to aid a neighbor in need or distress. he united with the Presbyterian Church on confession of this faith in Christ thirty-three years ago. During the whole of this period he was one of the most faithful members in attendance upon the services of the church and in bearing his share in the labor. He was a firm believer in the Bible as the rule of faith and practice, in the efficacy of prayer, and in Jesus Christ as the Savior from sin. While he did not neglect the calls of duty from without, yet it was in the home he found his greatest delight. He loved his home and the home circle. The evening lamp, the fireside, and the family gathered about them was his club and he wanted no other. His death is a loss. He will be greatly missed in the church and in the community and most of all in the home where his virtues were best known and appreciated. The members of this broken home circle have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
