For a number of years Mrs. Sally M. Lull, who died in this village last week, has made her home with Mrs. O.B. Tyler, of this village. For a number of years they had been school girls together, and the friendship existing between them was genuine and lasting, and they had been heard to express the wish that they might depart from this life at the same time. That their wishes in this direction were gratified is beyond a doubt, as Mrs. Lull passed away on the last week Thursday at about 3 o'clock, P.M., and Mrs. Tyler passed away at about 4 P.M. on the same day.

BEARDSLEY: In Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] March 18th, Mr. William L. Beardsley, in the 65th year of his age. He had been a resident of the village all his life, and largely engaged in promoting its material interests. In early life he taught and had excellent success in many of the best district schools in the County. He was a close student, and widely read in all matters of education, both philosophical and scientific. His business was that of stone mason, which he followed with his accustomed energy. Beginning with no capital, he soon gained control and operated the best quarries in Oxford and adjacent towns. To him, perhaps more than to any other man, the village of Oxford owes some of its best residences. His work was well done, and everything he undertook was carried to completion in workmanlike manner. During his whole life he was a faithful and devoted member of the Baptist Church, and an earnest worker in the Sabbath School, always ready to promote any work of benevolence, and ready to respond to any appeal for help from the needy, so far as his means allowed. He leaves a widow stricken with paralysis, and a wide circle of earnest friends to mourn his loss. [Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, April 4, 1883]
