Robert Jones, of Plainfield [Otsego Co., NY], met his death Saturday at noon in a peculiar manner. While at work chopping with a comrade for Floyd Armstrong, a neighbor, they attempted to saw down a large maple tree. Before it was completely cut through, it split and commenced to topple. Mr. Jones' comrade ran away from the falling tree, but Jones remained calmly in his place. The tree balanced for a moment over his head, and then fell, crushing him into the earth. Mr Armstrong just then came upon the scene, and assisted by the other chopper, hurriedly sawed off the heavy log and removed the dying man. Dr. Dively, of Unadilla Forks, was summoned to attend him, but he only breathed twice after the log was removed. He leaves a widow, but no children. [Bainbridge Republican, Feb. 3, 1877]
Simeon W. Niles was an old and respected resident of this place [Cooperstown, Otsego Co., NY], and had attained nearly fourscore years. His only daughter, Julia L. remained with him to cheer him in his declining years, and literally wore herself out in the service to others. He had for years at times expressed anxiety that she--often in feeble health--might die and leave him alone in the world. Both retired to their beds of illness on the 27th ult.; he from the effects of paralysis, and she with pleurisy. At two o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst, the beloved daughter died and at one in the afternoon the father followed her to the spirit land. Cooperstown Journal.

Mrs. Laverna Misner Shaw, 54, wife of Earl Signor Shaw, of 54 Miller street, Cortland [Cortland Co., NY], was killed instantly at 12:15 last Wednesday morning a half mile east of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], when the machine in which she was riding with her husband skidded on an icy pavement and overturned.

They had left Oneonta about 11:15 Tuesday night, traveling in a panel delivery truck owned by Shaw & Boehler, Cortland florists.

October 1, 1834
In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Thursday last, Mr. Bela Farr, aged 51 years. We knew the deceased well and intimately, and but speak the feelings of all who were acquainted with him, when we say that his death is sincerely mourned by this whole community. Always candid and respectful to all--a good neighbor and citizen, with an irreproachable private character, and strictly an honest man, his death has made a void in society here which cannot well be filled. He was a kind and affectionate husband and father and has left a large family to mourn his loss, which, to them, is irreparable.
In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Sunday evening last, Miss Ruth Baldwin, aged 27 years.
