Michael W. Cox
Michael W. Cox a member of one of the leading Catholic families in the city and county, died Sunday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Robert J. Tuohy on Henry street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY]. Deceased was a native of Norwich, a son of the late John and Katherine Cox, and was born December 22, 1858. As a lad he learned the bakery business in which he was engaged for 35 years, having conducted the Cox bakery and grocery store on North Broad street, where the Shattuck bakery is now located, for 31 years. He was among the best known of the business men of Norwich and hundreds of friends regretted his retirement two years ago because of failing health. Mr. Cox had been confined to his home for the past 10 weeks and was faithfully cared for by his only child, Mrs. Tuohy, who with a brother, Thomas and a sister, Miss Minnie Cox, of this city, are the immediate survivors. Mr. Cox was a lifelong member of St. Paul's Church and devoted to its interests. He was also a member of the Knights of Columbus, the A.O.H., the Elks, Eagles and Red Men. Delegations from these orders were in attendance at the funeral services on Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock, when solemn requiem high mass was celebrated by Father Tiernan, with Rev. Father P.J. Walsh as deacon and Rev. D.J. Dooling, of Sherburne sub-deacon. Special music was rendered by the choir, in which Miss Florence Debboid, of Utica; James Riley, L.H. Burnside and Linn H. Babcock, sang. The music was pronounced very beautiful, as was the chanting of the priests in the sanctuary.

Harriet R. Church
Chenango Union, March 17, 1892
Dr. Church's wife is dead. She succumbed to the ravages of cancer at 10 o'clock last night, and in her death Passaic [NJ] loses a woman who aimed high morally and religiously, and who did her best according to her light, to elevate and ennoble her fellows and to alleviate the sufferings of the poor. Especial interest attaches to her case on account of her abiding faith in what she called "divine healing" and her obstinate refusal to take medicine. As the readers of the News know already she never during a moment of the two years of her illness doubted that God would interpose in her behalf and cure her of the dread disease. Doubtless but for this firm faith and the cheerfulness born of it, she would have gone hence long since. For the first nineteen months she went about her business as usual. Then she took to her bed and since then has been slowly, but surely sinking. She first showed signs of approaching dissolution Friday afternoon after being visited by the Rev. Mr. Von Barchwitz and Rev. John Crawford. After that, no change was observed until about three minutes before she died last night when her breath began to fail. The nurse summoned her husband from his office below. He ran upstairs but his wife was already unable to speak, and she died almost immediately. Tomorrow is the 48th anniversary of Mrs. Church's birthday. She was born in Chenango county, New York, and lived there until sixteen years ago when she moved here with her husband. She was a member of the Methodist church, a teacher in the Sunday School, and prominent in the Ladies' Aid and Ladies' Missionary Societies. She was ex-president of the W.C.T.U. and a member of the Monday Afternoon Club. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Methodist church. --Passaic Daily News, March 8.
Helen Barrows
Chenango Union, March 17, 1892
The funeral services of little Helen, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barrows, of 218 North street, were held at the North Street Congregational Church. Wednesday at 2:30 the little church was crowded to its utmost capacity with sympathizing friends and neighbors who had known and loved the little one whom death had so unexpectedly removed to a fairer clime. The Sunday and week day schools were largely represented. The floral offerings were very fine, consisting of a pillow from the public school, bearing the inscription, "Our Schoolmate," and roses from Helen's Sunday School class at St. Paul's, and lilies from her Sunday School class at the Methodist Mission. The members of the two Sunday School classes sang, "Nearer my God to Thee," "Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and "We'll never say good bye in Heaven." The services were conducted by Rev. B. H. Burch, assisted by Rev. Mr. Luce, who offered prayer and read a scripture lesson. The sermon by Mr Burch was a very impressive one.--Middletown Daily Argus, March 10.
Jerry Goodson
Chenango Union, March 17, 18923
Jerry Goodson, a respected farmer living just west of this village [Earlville, Madison Co., NY], was found dead in bed, last night (Wednesday). In a part of the house reside Mr. and Mrs. Fred Fancher, but the latter has been absent from home for several days. Mr. Fancher, who is employed on the Chenango branch of the West Shore, went home last night and immediately he realized that all was not right. He gained an entrance to Mr. Goodson's apartments, where he was greatly alarmed to find that gentleman dead in his bed. Dr. White and others were hastily summoned, when it was ascertained that the man had been dead for some time. The cover was partially removed from the coal stove and the drafts were open, and apparently death was caused by the gases thereform, as a bird was also found dead in its cage. Deceased was a widower, about sixty years of age, and had one daughter, who is in Germany perfecting herself in the languages--Earlville Standard.
