Bainbridge News & Republican, July 6, 1944
An 86-year-old Chenango Forks [Broome Co., NY] resident was killed Friday night and his wife critically injured when the car which he was driving went off the highway and crashed into a tree in front of the Chenango Forks Central School on the Chenango Forks-Whitney Point road.  The man, Almon B. Elliot, a jewelry store operator at Chenango Forks, was killed instantly in the crash which occurred shortly before 7:30 p.m.  His wife, Mrs. Carrie Elliot, 64, is in critical condition at the Binghamton City Hospital, suffering from a fracture of the right leg, head injuries, a fracture of the right arm and brush burns and bruises of the body.  Dr. A.J. Stilson, a Broome County coroner, who was called in when it was discovered that Mr. Elliot was dead, said that the jeweler had suffered a fractured skull apparently received when his head crashed against the windshield as the car struck the tree.  The coroner said he was informed that Mr. Elliot was receiving treatment for a heart condition by a physician at Chenango Forks.  Apparently Mr. Elliot had a heart attack which caused him to lose control of the car, the coroner added.  Dr. Sobel administered first aid to Mrs. Elliot until the Sheriff Department ambulance arrived. Bailey Hinman, a teacher at Chenango Forks Central School, notified the department of the accident.  The Elliot car went over to the shoulder of the road and traveled approximately 150 feet before it crashed into the tree, deputies reported. The car was badly smashed in the front.  Mr. Elliot's body was removed to the Root Funeral Home at Greene [Chenango Co., NY].  Besides his wife, Mr. Elliot is survived by three sons, Herald B. Elliot, of Greene; Fred Elliot, of Sidney, and William E. Elliot, of Buffalo.

Bainbridge News & Republican, July 13, 1944
The body of Eileen Hungerford, eight, daughter of Everett Hungerford, formerly of Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY], was taken from the Susquehanna River near Vestal [Broome Co., NY] at 9 a.m., on Thursday after police and volunteers had searched for her since Tuesday night.  Her twin sister, Iris, was pulled from the river by her father after the children had been caught in the swift current when they ventured too far from shore. The girls clung to each other until Eileen no longer was able to keep herself afloat. The accident happened as the Hungerford twins with a brother David, 11, and a sister, Carol, 12, were in swimming.  After efforts of Carol to save them failed, the brother ran more than a quarter of a mile to the Hungerford home on the Vestal road to summon his father.  Mr. Hungerford said that Eileen was gone when he reached the bank and that Iris was at least 100 feet out in the river. Calling to her to keep her as calm as possible, he followed along the shore until he could get close enough to pull her out.
 
Mae McAdams
Bainbridge News & Republican, August 24, 1944
Mae McAdams, 14, was instantly killed Saturday on the farm of Mrs. Vinnie Riddell at Cooperstown Junction [Otsego Co., NY] as she was running to avoid a toppling tree sawed by her father. State Police who investigated said that Oliver McAdams, and another daughter, Della, 16, and a brother, Chester, 15, were cutting trees on the Riddell farm.  Mr. McAdams was preparing to fell a free which measured four feet around the base and the two daughters were standing nearby as their father drove a wedge into the tree to fell it near the skidway.  As the wind came up suddenly and the tree was about to fall, Mr. McAdams shouted a warning to his daughters.  Della ran down the skidway while Mae went in the direction the tree was falling and was pinned beneath the trunk.  Her brother, who was working on his car about 100 feet away as the father prepared to fell the tree, and her father and sister, with the use of a horse, extricated the girl from the maze of branches covering her and took her to the Fox Memorial hospital where Dr. Cornelius Ryan found her dead on arrival from a fractured skull and internal injuries.
