Edson S. Drake
Death of a Well-known Former Norwich Contractor and Builder
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: After an illness of three months' duration, Edson S. Drake died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Drake, on Sheldon street, Friday morning of last week. A week earlier he was brought here from his home in Schenectady and failed gradually until his death. Four years ago he suffered an attack of typhoid fever, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Deceased was born 36 years ago at Montrose, Pa. He came to Norwich 23 years ago, residing here until 1898.
In this town [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] on Saturday morning, the 15th inst. Mrs. Lucy Randall, wife of Mr. Samuel W. Randall, of this village, aged 25 years. In the death of this amiable young lady, we are forcibly reminded of the uncertainty of life. Scarcely six months have passed since she was led, by her now bereaved husband to the hymenial altar, with an unclouded prospect before her, anticipating all the comfort and happiness that would naturally result form the nearest and dearest connexion on earth. But she is now no more! She sleeps the sleep of death! That connexion is now severed--is dissolved forever! We sincerely sympathize with the very extensive circle of relatives and particularly with the afflicted husband. Their loss is irreparable.
We understand that Willard Wetherby, an industrious and reputable young man of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], aged 22, was found, on Sunday the 30th ult. drowned in a mill-pond in Addison, Steuben country, whither he went to labour about a year since. Mr. Wetherby, as our informant states, had been unwell some time--dreamed the night before his body was found that he was, or was to be, drowned in the pond, and related this circumstance in the morning. From the circumstances, it is more than probable that a derangement of mind, occasioned by sickness, was the cause of his death. He was expected home this week by his friends and relatives in Guilford; but instead of rejoicing in his return, they are now mourning his loss.
Died, in Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], Oct. 18, 1878, Mrs. Maria Merchant, widow of the late Niam Merchant, aged 77 years. The death of this estimable lady deserves more than a passing notice. Her parents moved from Danbury, Conn., to Guilford in 1800. She was born in 1801, being the first child born in this place. Her parents occupied the house where the hotel now stands so that her whole life was spent in sight of her birth place. She was intimately acquainted with all the affairs and events of interest in town, and had lived to see nearly all the friends of her youth passed away. She with her husband were among the first and earliest supporters of Christ's Church. In her death the Church has lost a zealous and active worker, society a charitable friend, and her family a devoted Christian mother. Although an invalid for months, she retained her faculties to the last. The loving care bestowed by her children attested well what she was to them. Her funeral was attended from her late residence on Sunday last by her many friends and acquaintances, and as she was gently laid to rest all felt to say "that the end of the just is peace."
Although she had been under the care of a physician for several years, death came suddenly and unexpectedly on Aug. 24 to Mrs. Ethel L. Bryans, at her home southeast of Seaton, Ill. She was the daughter of Mrs. Amy and the late Edward Johnson, of the Belmont community, and was born in Bald Bluff township in Henderson County, Feb. 26, 1883. Her husband, James Albert Bryans, passed away Feb. 5, 1921, and these children survive their mother: Mrs. Levi Waters, of Little York, Ill.; Mrs. Beatrice Bird, of Aledo, Ill.; Mrs. Clarence Johnson, of Macomb, Ill.; David and William Bryans, of Seaton, and Mrs. John Priest, of Comstock, Mich. There are seven grandchildren. Surviving also are her mother, Mrs. Amy Johnson, and an only sister, Mrs. C.C. Ash, both of the Belmont neighborhood. Funeral services were held at the Seaton Presbyterian Church on Tuesday at 2 o'clock with the Rev. J.E.Agans, pastor, officiating. Interment was in Little York Cemetery. Mrs. Ransom Herrick, of Bainbridge, received the above account and informed the News that Mrs. Bryans father, Edward Johnson, son of DeForrest Johnson, of West Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], left for the west when a young boy.
Funeral services for Charles H. Pinney, 66, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Floyd Smith, Main street, Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], last Saturday, were held at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at Fisher & Sherman Chapel, Bainbridge. The Rev. Harry E. Brooks, pastor of the Methodist Church in Bainbridge, officiated. Burial was in Glenwood Cemetery, Afton [Chenango Co., NY]. Mr. Pinney was born in Ouaquaga and had resided in Sidney the past two years. Surviving, in addition to his daughter, are two grandsons, Howard and Leon Cullen, and one granddaughter, Edith Cullen, Sidney, and a sister, Mrs. May Tupper, Johnson City.

He was a good citizen, an industrious, liberal-minded man and his loss will be sensibly felt in this community.
