Death Notices - 1835

Chenango Telegraph, July 15, 1835
In Cincinnatus (Cortland co.) July 2, Mrs. Elizabeth C., wife of John W. Boyd, aged 23 years.
Mrs. Boyd was amiable, kind, affectionate, and beloved by a large circle of friends. She has left an aged and widowed mother, who leaned upon her to rock the cradle of declining years, and a youthful companion, with other friends. Yet they do not mourn as those who have no hope. She has left a sweet evidence behind that their loss is her gain. She died in the triumphs of faith. In early youth she had given her heart to God and enlisted under his banner. Ten months before her death, she was united in the bands of matrimony and looked forward to a life of usefulness. But alas! how deceitful are the hopes of earthly happiness! Soon after her marriage, death visited the happy family and summoned two of her friends, and last he fixed his cruel grasp on her. But she met him with a smile. The morning before her death she wished her friends, if they thought her going soon, to let her know it. In the afternoon they told her she must soon be in eternity. She replied--Well, God will be just; I am reconciled to his will; my confidence is strong in Christ. She then conversed freely with her friends, exhorting them to be faithful in the cause of Christ and they should soon meet in a better world. She then closed her eyes, and in a few hours her spirit took its flight, we trust to the mansions of peace.

Eunice S. Gilbert - 1878
Mrs. Eunice S. Gilbert after a lingering illness departed this life January 1st, at 9 P.M., like a shock of corn "fully ripe." Again has death entered this family and taken one from their number, and one more link is added to the chain drawing Heavenward. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 3, 1878]
William Kelley - 1878
On Wednesday morning the church bell tolled the death of William Kelley, aged 24 years. He had been confined to the house for some months past with that dread disease, consumption. Mr. Kelley was greatly respected, and we opine that "up there" it makes no difference on account of the color of the skin. [Bainbridge Republican, Jan. 31, 1878]
