Miss Ella M. Corwin daughter of City Clerk Daniel Corwin, after several months' patient suffering with consumption of the bowels, died yesterday afternoon at the home of her parents on Grove street. She was in her nineteenth year, having been born on Christmas Day, 1870. The deceased was taken ill about the middle of December last and it was a month or more before she was confined to her room. Since that time, for eight long months, she has been most of the time unable to leave her bed without aid. Her sickness was borne without a murmur. For the past few days her death was hourly expected by her sorrowing family and friends, and it came to relieve her of her illness about a quarter of five yesterday afternoon. The deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Corwin. She is survived by her parents and one sister, Miss Flora Corwin a student at the State Normal School at Oswego, but who has been home during the latter part of her sister's sickness. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and until her health prevented, was a regular attendant of the Sunday school. She was also a member of Wallkill Academy at the time she was taken ill, and but for her sickness she would have graduated last June in the class of '89. Her great ambition before her sickness was to get through with her education so that she would be able to aid her parents. The deceased was possessed of an unusually sweet and amiable disposition and her uniformly kind and pleasant manner and unselfish ways made her not only the idol of her home but endeared her to all. While she thus shed sunshine all along her pathway her sickness and death were in complete harmony with her life. Though during the greater part of her long sickness she suffered acute pain, she never complained, and her only thought was for her mother and friends who had the care of her, lest they should become over-fatigued. She was wholly conscious to the moment of her death, and in the afternoon, a short time before she passed away, she bid all her friends good-bye and sent messages of affection to several of her schoolmates and others who had been especially kind to her. Death to her was but going home, and she met it without a trace of fear or of regret, save for the sadness which her going would cause her friends. Though she had but a few years upon the earth it is given to but few to so fully and beautifully exemplify the transforming power of the religion of Christ in the human heart as did this young girl in her life and in her death. [about 1899]
Rev. N.S. Reynolds, late pastor of the Methodist church in Nichols [Tioga Co., NY], died in that village on Thursday evening last. His funeral was attended from the M.E. church in Nichols on Saturday at 1:30 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Trible, Presiding Elder of the Owego district, was in charge. The address was made by Rev. J.O. Woodruff, of Plymouth, a lifetime and personal friend of the deceased, and additional remarks were made by Rev Dr. Wilson, of the Presbyterian church of Nichols, and Rev. W.R. Warnock, present pastor of the Methodist church in that place. The bearers were Rev. W.L. Thorpe, of Waverly; Rev. Dr. Hard, of this city; Rev. S. Jay, of Sayre; Rev. C.H. Sacket, of Newark Valley; Rev. P.R. Hawxhurst, of Owego, and Rev. W. B. Warnoes, of Nichols. The burial will be at Sidney today. The floral offerings, rare in design and very abundant, evidenced the high esteem in which he was held. The deceased had been seriously ill about five months and died of cancer of the liver. He had been in the ministry 27 years. Among his charges were Candor, Bainbridge, Worcester, Mt. Upton and Sayre. He leaves a widow and two daughters. He was a fine preacher and much beloved by his ministerial associates. [Buried Prospect Hill Cemetery, Sidney, Delaware Co., NY: Rev. Nelson S. Reynolds, Apr. 13, 1832 - Sept. 11 1890]
The sad news reached Bainbridge last Wednesday that Rev. Orrin A. Sands, Rector of the Episcopal church at Buena Vista, Colorado, had died that morning of pneumonia after an illness of four days. The intelligence was all the more startling and seemingly unreal to the relatives and friends of the deceased in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], as the healthful climate of his location was supposed, upon information, to have effected a radical cure of the ailments brought upon him by severe application while in college. Mr. Sands was the son of Jerome B. Sands and was born in Bainbridge in 1862, being one of eight children. His father owned near the village an extensive farm in which the son always took an active interest, but he early evinced a love for study and as he grew to manhood decided to choose the medical profession for his calling. With that in view he entered the office of Dr. H.D. Copley and studied for sometime. Mr. Sands had been reared under the influence of the Episcopal church and fondly loved her methods of worship and felt the divine inspiration of her teachings. His nature was singularly responsive to all that was noble and uplifting, and while engaged in the studies of his chosen profession he was impressed that the ministry was his field of labor and love. After mature deliberation he changed the plans of his life-work and began to fit himself for college. He graduated from the Bainbridge Academy under Prof. W.D. Graves in 1883, and entered Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. in 1885. At that time Mr. Sands enjoyed perfect health and with determined vigor and earnestness of purpose he accomplished the feat of covering the ground of a three years' course in two years, and graduated in 1887 with the distinction of being valedictorian of his class. After leaving college Mr Sands was professor in St. John's school Manlius, N.Y., for one year. In July, 1888, he was married to a highly esteemed young lady, Miss Anna E. Hidley, adopted daughter of Curtiss Cooper of Bainbridge. The fall of that year he commenced his parish work in Earlville, but was soon obliged to relinquish it and go to the Dansville Sanitarium. In the spring of 1890 he assumed the charge of St. Ann's church, Afton, which was struck by lightning in the summer, after a Sunday morning service, and was consumed. He was instrumental in rebuilding it. Later he took the parishes of Windsor and Harpursville and was ordained by Bishop Huntington in the former place in 1893. But our young friend always so devoted to the duties of his sacred office was ever pursued by the relentless Nemesis of ill health. At last he sought the climate of Colorado and settled in Trinidad, but after a few months' stay was forced to seek a higher altitude, that of Buena Vista. Here he began to recuperate, and as it was believed permanently with an enthusiasm born of the hope of long years of usefulness yet to come, he accepted the Rectorship of the parish and with his courageous wife did a grand work for the church, the people and the village of Buena Vista. He is universally lamented in his Colorado home. The Rev. Orrin A. Sands is mourned at the family fireside in Bainbridge, his loss is felt by the village of his birth and all that ever knew him will regret his early death. Deep sympathy is extended to the bereaved young wife so far away from her kindred, in her loneliness and desolation. [died Dec. 30, 1896; buried Mount Olivet Cemetery, Buena Vista, Chaffee Co., Colorado]
An impressive service was held in Grace Episcopal church on Sunday evening last. It consisted of shortened evensong from the book of Common Prayer, and special hymns, prayers and meditations: all in loving memory of the late rector of Grace church, the Rev. Orin Arnold Sands, who departed this life Dec. 30, 1896. The service was conducted by the Rev. R.S. Radcliffe, general missionary of the diocese of Colorado, and by the Rev. D.L. Fleming, rector of St. George's church, Leadville. The former clergyman addressed the congregation upon the subject of "The Dead in Christ" and the latter read a memorial paper and eulogy dealing with the life and services of the deceased clergyman. A most notable feature of the service was the wide recognition it received from the citizens of Buena Vista, all the churches being represented in the congregation which crowded Grace church. The Rev. Mr. Root, pastor of the Congregational church was present, together with the members of his congregation. The altar was vested in white, and flowers adorned the sanctuary and chancel. the music led by a selected choir, was sweetly and heartily rendered. The offerings were devoted to placing in Grace church a special memorial to the Rev. Mr. Sands. Altogether it was a genuine Colorado tribute of appreciation and loyalty for a faithful pastor."
