Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Fred Benedict, 45, Kirk farmhand, victim of a hit-and-run driver, died in Chenango Memorial Hospital at midnight Thursday from injuries. Early the previous Sunday morning Mr. Benedict was found lying at the side of the highway north of the Plymouth street bridge, just outside the city limits. Discovery of the injured man was made by W.A. Richards, who was returning to his home in Bartlett road. After investigating, Mr. Richards came to this city and with Under-sheriff Frank J. Macio returned to the scene and Mr. Benedict was taken to the hospital. Mr. Benedict, a farmhand for several years on the Ella Aldrich farm in Kirk [Chenango Co., NY], suffered multiple injuries, including a severe head cut and concussion. Alongside his body was a box of Christmas candies he had purchased while making one of his regular Saturday night trips to this city. It was his practice to attend the Saturday movies, making trips by foot, but often hitch-hiking his way. Dr. J.C. Lee, who attended the injured man, said that pneumonia had developed. Mr. Benedict was admitted to the hospital in a serious condition and never regained consciousness. While sheriff's men believe any driver would have been aware of the accident because of the bright moonlight night, their search for the car operator is without any tangible clues.

Alfred Schemerhorn, two and one-half years old, was burned to death in a fire which damaged his home in Sidney [Delaware Co., NY] Thursday. The fire originated in the child's bedroom and had gained such headway before it was discovered that he could not be rescued. Police Chief Ralph Beams said the child had gone upstairs to get a toy wheelbarrow, while his mother remained below, and that the boy apparently had taken matches with him. The mother, Mrs. Leslie Schemerhorn, was badly burned about the face and hands trying to rescue the child. The Sidney Fire Department prevented spread of the fire to the rest of the units, one of six in the building, a part of the federal housing project. Mr Schermerhorn, who is employed by the Oneonta Sales Co. in Oneonta, was not at home at the time of the fire. Damage of about $1,000 is estimated to have been caused by fire, smoke and water. Another unit, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Martin, was damaged by smoke and water and the occupants are moving to another building. [Bainbridge News & Republican, Jan. 3, 1946]
