A.T. Mosher

Bainbridge Republican, March 2, 1879

 

Mr. A.T. Mosher, a much respected citizen of North Sanford [Broome Co., NY], came to his death last Saturday in a very unexpected manner.  He had hitched up his team, took a little five year old granddaughter in his cutter with him, to go and call upon a neighbor.  On his way and while near his son-in-law's house, he was taken with a severe pain in the region of his heart.  He drove to the son's door and was assisted into the house, and while his daughter was removing some of his neckwear, his head dropped upon his breast and life was extinct.

 

Jennie A. Bradstreet

Bainbridge Republican, October 24, 1878

BRADSTREET:  In Bennettsville, Oct. 11th, 1878, Mrs. Jennie A. Bradstreet, aged 27 years.

In recording the death of our beloved friend Mrs. Jennie A. Bradstreet, we desire to express our sympathy with the bereaved husband, two small children and numerous other relatives; and bid a sorrowing farewell to one who was kindly and affectionate in her nature, honored and beloved by all who knew her.  She possessed many admirable and upright traits of character, which we venerate and the influence will remain with us as a legacy as long as life endures  She was a great sufferer for a number of months, but her courage kept up till the last and would often remark it was all that kept her alive.  But as time passed away she was ready and willing to go, and longed for the time to come when she would be at rest.  She talked with each member of the family about her departure and made every preparation for the coming event, and selected a favorite hymn (Sweet Rest in Heaven) to be sung for the occasion.  When worn out by disease, death kindly came to her relief, and taking her from the empire of the living to the silent realm wherein she will sleep the quiet unbroken sleep of death.  No vicissitude of earth, no event of time will ever disturb her rest; she belongs now to that vast realm whose monarch permits no sound, not even a whisper or a sigh to disturb the dead's repose  Suns will rise and set, generations will come and go, bringing hopes and fears, joy and sorrow, suffering and death to all who live and the millions yet to be, for these are the common lot and heritage of man.  Farewell dear friend till we meet again in a better land.  Careful hands and loving hearts will deck thy grave and keep thy monument whole and thy memory green. --- A Friend.

WINSOR:  In Bennettsville Nov. 5th, Freddie only son of Ellsworth and Delpha Winsor aged 9 years and six months.

Our little Freddie left us,

God took him from our sight,

From this dark world of Sorrow,

To one of joy and light.

 

In his early morning freshness,

Pure from the world's vile stain,

He plucked our fragile flower,

To bloom in heaven again.

 

Dark was the shadow resting

On our hearts, when Freddie went,

Tho' we would not withhold from God

The jewel that he lent.

 

We know that God is good,

And when this life is o'er

When death and sorrow are unknown,

Our treasure he'll restore.
