While walking on the track Hiram Marshall of this village was struck and instantly killed by passenger train No. 4 Monday afternoon. Mr. Marshall who resided with his son, Chas. Marshall in the southern end of the village, started out from the house which is situated near the railroad shortly after 2 o'clock to go to the village. He started up the track as was his custom in going to and from his home to the village. He had not walked but a few feet on the track when he met his sudden death. At the place where he was killed there is a sharp curve. The train must have been coming when he stepped upon the track. Mr. Marshall did not seem to hear the noise of the engine which blew for the crossing just below until the train ran him down. Persons who were in the vicinity say Mr. Marshall stopped to look around just before he was struck but had not time to escape the danger. He was thrown at a distance down a steep embankment. His skull was crushed and several bones of his body were broken. Death was instantaneous. The train was in charge of Conductor Meade and Engineer Dave Whittaker, engine No. 242, and is due at this station at 2:24. Mr. Marshall was 70 years old and a trifle deaf. He had been a resident of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] for many years and was a basket and chair maker by trade. He was very bright and active and assisted his son Chas. at the mill. Mr. Marshall was killed nearly at the same place where Samuel Stewart met his death in the same manner about one year ago It is a sad and tragic death and a lesson for those who continue to use the railroad track as a thoroughfare. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock and interment in Green lawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY].
Rev. J. Mevis, a super-annuated member of the Wyoming conference died suddenly at his home in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] yesterday morning. The funeral services will be held in the M.E. church at Oxford Wednesday at 2 p.m. Rev. Mr. Mevis entered the ministry nearly forty years ago, joining the conference in 1859. During these long years he has been familiarly known in all this part of the conference, especially over Otsego and Chenango counties, and wherever known was always highly esteemed and greatly beloved. Three years ago on account of feeble health he was compelled to superannuate and since that time had made his home in Oxford. Yesterday morning he arose as usual, with his ordinary health, ate breakfast, had family worshi8p with his wife, and at 8 o'clock, seated in his chair, just ceased to breath and was not, for God had taken him. --Oxford Times
Margaret Hagaman Harrington entered into the rest of Paradise on the afternoon of May 1., 1896. She was born in the town of Greene, Chenango county, October 27, 1837, and removed very early in life to Chenango Forks [Broome Co., NY], to which place she has since resided and in which place her father was merchant for a period of nearly fifty years. She was the second of four children, of whom only one, Mrs. Evaline Truesdell of Binghamton, the youngest, survives. September 17, 1862, was notable for the double wedding of Margaret Hagamon to Salphronius H. Harrington, and Evaline Hagaman to Mr. Truesdell. The married life of Dr. and Mrs. Harrington has been spent in Chenango Forks, where the husband has practiced medicine for a good part of the time. Two children were born to them, Mary, who died August 19, 1876 and Maurice S., who is at present living at his parents' home in Chenango Forks, assisting in his father's drug store. Mrs. Harrington was from early life a member of the Congregational society, but when St. John's Episcopal parish was organized in 1877 she became one of its first members and supporters and has ever remained a staunch, loyal and unswerving believer in the "Faith once delivered to the Saints." Actively interested in charitable work generally and in her church, her whole life seems to have been lived near God's altar, under His guidance and in accordance with His Will. Her pure, gentle and unselfish nature will long "be a light to lighten our darkness" when duty seems to bear down hardest. How patiently, how unobtrusively, how nobly she labored throughout her life for the welfare of her beloved family and for the glory of God we have seen and gratefully appreciated, and we give hearty thanks for the good example of this, His servant, who, having finished her course in faith, does now rest from her labors. Her whole life seemed to pronounce the prayer of the Garden of Suffering. "Thy Will be Done." The noble and saintly character manifested in the love of the good, the unspotted life and the unmoved purpose to walk to the Commandments of her Lord and Master blameless, still live to fashion our life in a nobler, grander, purer form. Her mortal remains were committed to the earth in the Rogers cemetery on Sunday, May 3d. Requiescat in pace.

Dewitt Eldred, aged 70, residing about two miles from Laurens, Otsego County, died as the result of injuries suffered when he was rolled by a bull on the farm occupied by himself and the family of his son, Clarence Eldred, last Thursday. Mr. Eldred started out to get the cows for milking, and when he did not return in a reasonable time a search was started for him. However, it was dusk when his body was found. His chest was badly crushed, the ground surrounding the body showed evidence of disturbance, and it was recalled that the bull appeared excited and nervous during the early evening when the search for Mr. Eldred was being made.
