Entered into rest on the morning of February 12, 1895, after an illness of ten days Mrs. Jane Bush of Nineveh, N.Y. [Broome Co., NY], aged 74 years. The subject of this notice was born and spent her early days near Oxford, Chenango county, and after marrying the late Riley Bush with him made her home at Nineveh. She was a quiet, unassuming woman, attending strictly to her domestic affairs. Cheerful and pleasant to all she met, and cared but little for the actions or doings of people outside of her circle. She had long been a member of the Presbyterian church, a regular attendant of the same when her infirmities would admit and was also a liberal giver for its support. Although living past the allotted time of three score and ten years, she like her husband who went before, was one who could not well be spared and will long be remembered as one who died having charity for all and malice toward none.
Surrounded by beautiful flowers, lying peacefully at rest, as if only in a gentle sleep, the remains of Nelson G. Place last Tuesday afternoon rested in a beautiful casket, while his sorrowing friends were gathered to take a last, fond look at the kindly face so dear to all. The sun had already touched the Western horizon at the close of another day, typical in its flood of departing glory of another life just closed, a life whose rays had lent geniality and warmth more enduring even than those of the great luminary. It was a scene of touching beauty as the rays of the departing sun beamed through the stained windows of the church, flooding the chancel in a glory of light, where lay the casket, surrounded by banks of flowers. Nature seemed hushed. A beautiful life had closed. The funeral services of Mr. Nelson G. Place, held at 5:30 p.m. of the 19th inst. at the M.E. church in this village, assembled together a large gathering of relatives and friends, all bound by one common tie of affliction and mourning. All the representatives of the Place family, from far and near, were present with the exception of Mrs. Austin Hall, who was unable to be present on account of illness. The services were touchingly impressive. They were conducted by Rev A.D. Decker, Rev. H.B. Benedict, Rev. J.B. Cook and Rev. T.A. Carlson, all of whom delivered tributes of the tenderest eulogy to the memory of the deceased, every word finding a deep response in the hearts of everyone present. It was intended that the school children should attend the services but owing to the lateness of the hour they could not be present. The school, however, sent a beautiful floral harp in token of their love and esteem. The Y.M.C.A. also remembered their departed brother by sending a beautiful floral pillow with monogram. The casket was covered and entwined with roses, while on the platform was a large display of flowers. The music by the church choir was beautifully rendered.
The services of Mr. Nelson G. Place to our community were those of a philanthropist. Few men have labored more zealously and unselfishly toward the up building of Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] than Mr. Place. His services in extending and fostering our school system will long be remembered. Although he had no children to educate, while in health, he was the life and soul of the Sidney High school. Our fine school is a direct fruit of his zeal and fidelity and his onerous duties as President of our Board of Education were discharged in a manner that reflected high credit upon himself and the many friends whose confidence he so fully enjoyed. He was the founder of our Y.M.C.A. and an enthusiastic worker in the noble, pure cause of temperance. Where a good deed was to be done Nelson Place was always in the fore, ever leading ever encouraging, never faltering. The same testimony can be borne to his zeal as a church worker. His labors must have come home to the minds of all present at these services The lips were sealed that had so often spoken in that sanctuary. The musical tones of that voice were no more to be heard that had lent grace and comfort to many faltering hearts. Touched by the hand of death a captain laid silent in the citadel of his own building. Though young in years, gathered as a sheaf before its ripening, Nelson was animated by that spirit which yearns only for the good of others. Pure in heart, pure in mind, honest to the core, firm yet gentle, he dared for the right. Scoffs or jeers, malice or derision could not in combined effort swerve him from the path of duty. Such men are not of this world. they tarry not long. They go from us only too soon, leaving memories blessed to all who come in contact with them. Mr. Place was 37 years of age. He leaves a widow to mourn his loss, one who with touching fidelity remained by his side throughout his long illness, ministering to his needs, cheering him in his sufferings. To her as well as to the entire family there goes forth feelings of the deepest sympathy in the loss of one so good, so true and gentle. And thus does the grave, ever cruel, ever remorseless, claim its own. Dust shall return to dust but in humble submission must we bow to the One who giveth and taketh away and say: "Thy will be done." [Died May 17, 1896, Buried Prospect Hill Cemetery, Sidney, NY]
