Evelyn (Jones) Burrows
Friday October 11th, the shadow of death has again darkened another family circle in this village and Mrs. Evelyn Burrows, an aged and respected resident, passed away into the final rest at the home of her daughter Mrs. Herman Foote, where she has been tenderly cared for during her declining years. She has been in feeble health for some time, hence her demise was not unexpected. Deceased was the daughter of Timothy and Eliza Jones, having been born at Trout Creek, September 24, 1852. She was united in marriage at Masonville November 28, 1879 to Charles Burrows, the result of this union being one son and two daughters, Llewelyn, Hattie and Leora. In early life she became a member of the Methodist church and attended worship at Guilford Center when services were held in the old Methodist church there, which is now used as a barn. When the Methodist church at the Center was closed she took her membership to the Congregational church and has been an earnest Christian woman. She leaves a good example as a loving mother and friend and all will cherish the sweetness of her memory but know that Heaven is richer, because she is there. Funeral services were held at the late home Monday afternoon, Rev. J.W. Bump officiating, assisted by the Rev. Cecil Plumb. Burial was made in the Guilford Center cemetery [Guilford, Chenango Co., NY]. Those who survive are one son, Llewelyn Burrows of Bainbridge; two daughters, Mrs. Hattie Foote of this village and Mrs. Leora Rogers, of Canaan; five grandchildren, Mrs. Hazel Clark, Ralph Foote, Jesse Foote, Paul Burrows and Llewelyn Rogers; three great grandchildren, Douglas Clark, Genevieve Evelyn Clark and Norma Foote of Guilford. [d. 11 October 1929]
Anna Elizabeth (Schell) Friedel
Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Friedel was born in Karlsruhe, Germany, July 8, 1876. She was a daughter of Frank and Eva Veit Schell. When 21 years of age she came to America, and the following year she was married to John Drachler, of Guilford, who passed away 18 years ago, May 20. October 29, 1917, she was again married to Nicholas Friedel, who also preceded her to the spirit world, July 27, 1930. Mrs. Friedel moved from the village of Bainbridge to the home of her son, Fred Drachler, intending to make her home there, but just one week later, Tuesday, May 17, she passed away from heart trouble. The funeral was held from her son's home, Friday afternoon, May 20, Rev. G.H. Orvis, officiating. She is survived by four sons, Frank, Fred and John Drachler and Stuart Friedel of Bainbridge; two daughters, Mrs. Jay Smith of Bainbridge, and Miss Ciella Drachler of Albany; two brothers, Frank Schell of Guilford, and Ludwig Schell of Germany; also by three step-sons, Walter Friedel of Bainbridge, Michael Friedel of Binghamton, and Louis Friedel of Oneonta; and by one step-daughter, Mrs. Roland Powers of Utica.

Burial was in Sunset Hill cemetery, Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]
The funeral of Marvin J. Strong was held form his late home on North Main street [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Clarence Carman, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, officiating. The attendance was very large, filling the house to its capacity, and the floral tributes were many and beautiful, speaking of the love and esteem in which the deceased was held. The Sunday School orchestra which he had organized and conducted, attended in a body as did also delegations and representatives of the Rebekaha, the I.O.O.F. and the Masons. Mr. Strong had been treasurer of the Masonic Lodge of this place for the past 25 years. The bears, Earl A. Westcott, Sebert B. Hollenbeck, George Cook, Albert C. Wilcox, Charles H. Eldred and Herbert Petley, were all members of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Strong had served as a trustee of the church for the past 35 years, this being the longest term of service rendered by any member of the board. An accomplished musician, he had always played an important part in the music of the church. Mr. Strong was born in South Gibson, Pa., January 28, 1869, a son of David S. and Betsey A. Briggs Strong. When he was only 18 years old his father died, and at the age of 11 he went to live with his uncle, James Pickering, of South Gilboa. In his young manhood he came to New York state, and after one year spent in Binghamton he came to Bainbridge and learned the blacksmith trade form his step-father, Mr. Robinson, and he became very proficient in the art of fashioning and welding iron and steel. In May, 1891, he married Miss Ida E. Blincoe, of Bainbridge, and all of their married life has been spent in this place. His passing away Monday, June 13, of bronchial asthma, has left a vacant place in the hearts and in the community. His earthly remains have been placed in the family plot in Greenlawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY], but his spirit still lives, and his influence for righteousness will continue to be felt. No more appropriate text could have been selected than that from which the Funeral sermon was preached: "Blessed are the dead which die in the lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, and they that may rest from their heavy labours; and their works do follow them." Rev. 14:13. Mr. Strong is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. E. Irene Strong, of Bainbridge; one half-sister, Mrs. B.J. Holladay, of West Colesville; one aunt, Miss Hannah Briggs, of Susquehanna, Pa., and several nieces and nephews. [1932]
