On Friday morning last, Mr. Roswell Lord, an aged resident at Willett [Cortland Co., NY], met with a fearful accident from the effects of which he died the same evening. The particulars all furnished us are as follows: Mr. Lord had gone very early to his saw mill that morning to see if it was all right. In a few moments from the time he went there, a man who was passing heard a scream coming from that direction and he at once hastened to the mill There he found Mr. Lord with the carriage upon him, and his body horribly mutilated by the circular saw which was in motion. Mr. L. was not able to communicate the particulars, but it is supposed he was passing the saw when his coat was caught throwing him around so that he left leg came in contact with the saw below the knee, which was almost entirely severed. The saw in its course left the cap and one side but took several inches of bone out above the knee. This threw him over so he hit the feed control so as to set it to gigging. Running against him the block shoved him about fifteen feet, when it ran upon him sufficiently to hold it and slip the gig belt. Besides the sawing he received a severe bruise on the forehead and on the arm. Mr. Lord was born in Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY] in 1805, and was the youngest of a family of ten, of whom but one is now living, viz: Samuel Lord of Lincklaen, father of James S. Lord, Esq., the present supervisor of that town. He was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew him and his many friends will sympathize deeply with his family and relatives at his sudden and horrible death.--Chenango Telegraph [Bainbridge Republican, Mar. 3, 1877]
Many were surprised to hear that Mrs. Jane Fairchild had just died. It was not generally known that "Mother Fairchild" as she was familiarly called, was so near death's door, and the sudden announcement seemed like a bolt from a clear sky. The deceased was a woman loved and respected by everyone. She was an earnest Christian, and was the oldest member of the Afton M.E. church [Chenango Co., NY]. Her demise leaves but one remaining member of the Methodist church as it was first organized in Afton, that one being Mrs. T.L. Green. In her death that society loses a true disciple of God, the home a dear, loving companion, and the community a sympathizing friend. for some time past the deceased had resided with her niece, Mrs. C.L. Seely, and the last days of her long and useful life were made happy by the many kind acts from those who cared for her so tenderly, and who loved her so dearly. Her age was 80 years. The funeral was held from her late home Sunday afternoon and was largely attended, Rev. J.L. Thomas officiating. The remains were laid to rest in Glenwood cemetery [Afton, NY], Funeral Director Emens having charge. [Compiler note: Tombstone inscription, Glenwood Cemetery: Silas Fairchild / Died Mar. 28, 1888 / Aged 84 Y'rs/ Jame His Wife / 1816 - 1897]
