DIED: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] yesterday morning, very suddenly, Mr. Charles Wattles, in the 75th year of his age. Mr. W. was one of the gallant few, yet remaining, who served and suffered for his country in the war of Independence. He was under Gen. Washington in the battles of Long Island and also at White Plains; and at that disastrous period of our Revolutionary fortunes, his patriotism and courage remained unshaken--and his services were, though late, rewarded by a pension from his country. For many years past he has been a resident of this village--beloved by his family and respected by his friends. [Antimasonic Telegraph, Sept. 10, 1834]
DIED: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] on Wednesday last, Mrs. Nancy, wife of Mr. A.C. Newman, aged 33 years. Leaving six small children to the care of their surviving parent. [Antimasonic Telegraph, Sept. 10, 1834]
Death from an Overdose of Chloral: James I. Andrews, a young man, died in Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY] Monday evening, of last week, from an overdose of Chloral, taken to allay nervousness and produce sleep. He had become addicted to strong drink but of late had determined to conquer his weakness, and had taken the drug for three or four years. Monday he purchased half an ounce of Chloral and going home he prepared the dose and took the whole of it, he lay down, fell asleep and soon his mother noticed that he did not appear to breathe, a physician was summoned but he was past help. An inquest was held, the jury being of the opinion that the drug was not taken with the intention of producing death. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 20, 1877]
LANE: At West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], Jan. 13th, 1877, Mr. Luman L. Lane, aged 31 years.
In its appropriate place will be found the announcement of the death of Luman L. Lane, which occurred at the residence of his father-in-law, Briggs Lyon, in this town [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] at three o'clock Saturday afternoon last, his funeral taking place on Tuesday. For some time he had been wasting away, but his death, though not wholly unexpected, was nevertheless a terrible shock and a great sorrow. "Deac." as he was familiarly called, was a genial, whole-souled fellow, kind to a fault, and always obliging; qualities of mind and heart which had won him hosts of friends. The widow, father, mother and brothers, have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 20, 1877]
The funeral of Luman L. Lane was largely attended at the West Bainbridge Baptist Church, Tuesday. About thirty Masons from this place were present, as also were quite a large number frp, Afton lodge. Rev. N.S. Reynolds preached a very able and appropriate discourse, discussing the immortality of the soul, and its future existence, in a close, logical and impressive manner. His closing remarks were considerate and kind. He had made the acquaintance of the deceased during the past year, and esteemed him highly as a citizen and friend. Altogether, the occasion was most impressive, and served deeply to remind one of the fact "that in the midst of life we are in death." [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 20, 1877]
Floyd Lester Andrews, 59, died suddenly Saturday night about 11 o'clock at his home in Greenlawn avenue [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] of a heart attack.
