Elizabeth Thorpe Prindle
Chenango Union, January 14, 1892
Mrs. Elizabeth Thorpe Prindle, wife of Hon. Horace G. Prindle, died at her home on Hayes street early Monday morning, after an illness of only a week. Some time age s/he contracted a severe cold, which with an additional attack about a week ago, developed into pneumonia, of which she died. Mrs. Prindle was born in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] in April, 1834, and was a daughter of the late Charles Thorpe. She spent her youth in Norwich, and in 1853 was married to Judge Prindle, then a young attorney at law. Mrs. Prindle was for many years a member of the Broad street M.E. church, and for some time one of its most active members. Mrs. E.H. Prindle, of this village, and Mrs. W.S. Thomas of Alexander, Ark, are sisters of the late Mrs. Prindle, and with her husband are the only near surviving relatives. The funeral services will be held form her late residence on Hayes street at 2 P.M. Thursday, Rev. H.M. Crydenwise, officiating.
It is needless to say that in the sudden death of Mrs. Prindle the whole community is shocked and startled and many hearts are overwhelmed with sadness. Kind and obliging as a neighbor, true and faithful as a friend, affectionate and devoted with large hearted sympathy, liberality and helpfulness toward the poor and unfortunate, she gathered to herself a large circle of friends who feel an unspeakable loss and bereavement in her death. Here was a strong, positive character. She could but have strong attachments and strong aversions. She loved and admired that which was true, frank, honest, manly and womanly and every instinct of her being rose up in opposition to all that was unworthy, false or pretentious. For the good and the worthy in the individual or in the cause her whole soul went out in sympathy and admiration and to serve or help such she counted no toil, self-denial or sacrifice too great. Many poor will miss and keenly mourn her. Those who knew her most closely loved and praised her most. In the midst of life, full of life, with strong attachment to life, with great love to home, husband and friends, death came to her as a great, even an appalling surprise. But in those awful crisis moments with characteristic calmness she gave farewell token, spoke farewell words, expressed firm faith in the atoning merit of Jesus. And thus with clear mind and full consciousness, she passed out from life here, from the circle of loved ones here, to the life and reunions of the land beyond.

The Bainbridge Republican of Wednesday says: "In a dispatch received by the war department Monday, from General Otis, at Manila, published in the New York papers Tuesday, the name of Corporal George S. Wells of Company D, Ninth Infantry, appears in the list of those killed August 9th near San Fernando, Luzon. We make the announcement with regret that this young soldier form Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] will never return. Young Wells visited the Republican office a short time before his regiment departed for the Philippines. He has been home on a furlough coming with his company from Cuba, where he had seen active service at Santiago, and had a horse shot from under him. Wells was satisfied with his treatment in the army, found no fault with anything. He was among the first to join the regular army against the Spanish in Cuba."
Corporal Wells was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Wells of Bainbridge and besides his parents leaves several brothers and sisters. He will be remembered in Norwich and other vicinity towns through his connection with the Bainbridge ball team in 1894-5-6-7.

Although without political influence he was promoted to be a corporal in the regular army after but a few months service, for valorous conduct at the battle of Santiago. Many friends of the deceased had watched his progress as a soldier with much interest and his untimely death will be learned with sorrow.
