John M. Gaines
The people who reside in the vicinity of Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY] were terribly shocked recently by hearing of the death of an esteemed young man, John M. Gaines. Tuesday, June 9, he was working on his father's farm on Granville Hill, taking down a barn. In some way a beam fell and struck him on the head pinning him to the floor. HIs father finding the beam lying on his son, tried to raise it, but being unable to do so, summoned help. When the weight was lifted from the body life was extinct. Mr. Gaines was a promising young man who had the love and respect of all. His death is an awful blow to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Gaines. The bereaved family consisting of several brothers and sisters, besides the parents, have the sincere sympathy of all in their sorrow. [Utica Saturday Globe, June 20, 1903]

Mr. Gaines was working alone and was last seen alive by the rural mail carrier at about 4 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, at work on the barn. He was 29 years old and about five years ago was in the flour and feed business in Sherburne. [Bainbridge Republican, June 18, 1903]
