Maria (Minor) Pearsall
Sept. 6, 1836 - Nov. 10, 1898
Another well known and much loved resident of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] has obeyed her Father's summons and gone to that rest which remaineth for the faithful. Mrs. Sherman Pearsall died at her home on North Main street on Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, after a painful and lingering illness. In early life Mrs. Pearsall united herself with the M.E. church, remaining a faithful and consistent member, always ready to do whatever lay in her power toward the advancement of her Master's kingdom here on earth. She leaves to mourn her loss one son, Albert, who has the sympathy of the entire community in this his great loss. The funeral was attended by a large gathering of friends and neighbors, who gathered to show to the son, left alone, the love and esteem in which they held his mother. Rev. T.F. Hall of Oneonta, Rev. C.H. Sackett and Rev. A.E. Spaulding of Bainbridge, assisted at the services at the house. Burial was in the Episcopal cemetery [Bainbridge, NY].
Homer B. Parsons
Homer Parsons of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] who was so badly injured by falling down the freight elevator shaft at Hotel Bennett in Binghamton, that an amputation of his leg was necessary, died at the hospital in that city Tuesday night. the accident occurred two weeks ago last Monday and after the operation which followed the next day, it was considered that Mr. Parsons' prospects of recovery were beyond a doubt. The reports which were received here daily since that time were to the effect that he was improving fast. Tuesday afternoon a message came to the daughter May to come to Binghamton on the first train as her father was worse, and later another message came to Frank B. Phinney that he was dying. This was a shock to the community as everyone here was Mr. Parsons' friend and believed that he was recovering. He died at 8:45 that night after his daughter had reached the bedside but before his father-in-law, Mr. Phinney, could arrive. Mrs. Parsons, the wife, who had devotedly attended him ever since the injury, was also present. It seems that Mr. Parsons was taken worse Monday and began to sink rapidly, the shock of the operation being too great for his vitality to overcome. The remains were brought to his home in this village yesterday afternoon and the funeral will take place at the residence Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Revs. C.H. Sackett of Bainbridge and T.F. Hall of Oneonta, will officiate. Burial in Greenlawn Cemetery [Bainbridge, NY]. The death of Mr. Parsons is a severe loss. There is not a person in this village or vicinity who ever knew him but mourns his death. He was one of Bainbridge's most prominent citizens. he was always genial, pleasant, kind hearted and generous. Mr. Parsons was born in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] 51 years ago. He entered business early in life and has been successful. He was in the mercantile business in Waverly, and the real estate business in Richmond, Va., and Sidney, previous to his coming to Bainbridge about ten years ago. He married in 1889 his present wife who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank B. Phinney and have made this village their home ever since. Mr. Parsons had a handsome residence on Pruyn Hill owned considerable real estate in this village and other places, the care of which occupied most of his attention. He was on his way home from Waverly where he had been on business matters when the accident happened in Binghamton. he was an energetic and stirring business man. He was especially fond of his home and family, consisting of a wife who was lovely and always likewise devoted, and one daughter of twenty, whose mother died fourteen years ago. The deceased also leaves five brothers: Captain Augustus Parsons of Richmond, Va.; J.A. Parsons of Elmira; Lucius Parsons of Mt. Upton; Benjamin Parsons of Coventryville, and Henry Parsons of San Francisco; two sisters, Mrs. John Sweet of Bainbridge and Mrs. Eli Wight of Smithville Flats. [1900]
Dan Keegan
Two men, presumably hoboes, were struck by west bound passenger train No. 7 at 1:40 p.m. Tuesday on the summit of Afton hill about two miles east of that village. The names of the two are Dan Keegan and Charles W. Smith, both were from Cincinnati [Ohio]. It is thought that the men were in the act of boarding an extra coal train under charge of conductor Brandow, when train 7 under charge of conductor Gerner, struck them, killing Keegan instantly, and throwing Smith alongside the train in such position as to cut off two fingers of the left hand, and breaking the arm. He was severely cut and bruised, but was able to pick himself up and start for the village, where he is being care for at the Valley House. It is thought his injuries will not prove fatal. The body of the dead man, Keegan, was allowed to remain by the track until nearly four o'clock before being removed to an undertaking establishment, and was frozen stiff by that time. An inquest will not be held, being deemed unnecessary. [1900]
