John M. Redmond
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: John M. Redmond, a former well known resident of this village, died Tuesday at the home of his parents in Poolville, aged about 42 years. Deceased was for about eight years a resident of this village and for six or seven years was an employee of the grinding department at the Maydole hammer factory. A year or more ago his health failed and last April he moved with his family to Poolville. He was a kind husband and father, a good workman and a pleasant companion and had many friends in this village who extend sympathy to his bereaved family. Mr. Redmond was the first secretary of the Hammermakers Union, No. 232, of this village. In 1890 he married Miss Kate Shallow, of Randallsville, who with two daughters, Anna and Mildred, survives. He also leaves his parents, one brother, Jay Redmond, of Poolville, and three sisters, two of whom reside in Poolville, and Miss Lizzie Redmond, of this village. His funeral was held from St.Mary's Church, Hamilton, Friday morning, Rev. Father McDonald officiating. Burial was made in the cemetery at that place.

Chenango Union, March 31, 1892
Miss Ada F. Kellogg, a former teacher in Norwich Academy, but of late teacher in the public schools at Mansfield, Ohio died at that place on Saturday morning last, after a brief illness, although her health had not been good previous to the final attack. She was an amiable lady, beloved by her pupils, and esteemed by all who knew her. She was a consistent member of the congregational church, faithful in her duties. An only sister, Mrs. Carrie Ferris, of Smyrna, survives her. Her age was about forty-three years. The remains were brought to Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY] where the burial took palace Tuesday afternoon. A number of Norwich friends attended the services.
Robert W. Perkins
Chenango Union, March 31, 1892
A telegram was received in town Friday announcing the death of Robert W. Perkins, at Denver, Col., early that morning. Although the sad announcement was not wholly unexpected, as several telegrams had been received announcing his alarming illness with typhoid fever, yet it was a crushing blow to the mother in this village, the two sisters who reside away from home, and many hearts were saddened throughout the village, as the young man was a universal favorite. Robert Walton Perkins was the only son of Gerrit H. Perkins, and was born in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] and spent most of his life here. He was a graduate of Hamilton college, and after finishing his course of study there, entered into business in this village, being one of the three partners who organized and conducted the Enterprise Chair Factory. At first the venture was a success, and in a few years reverses came and the plant had to be sold. Deceased was thirty-one years of age. In July, 1888, he married Miss Lucy, daughter of Mrs. Nelson Justus, of Denver, Col. Some two years since he went to Denver, where he secured a situation. At the opening of the new mining town of Creede, he with a friend went there and were engaged in a successful business. It was there that he probably contracted the fatal disease. Feeling unwell and the new town offering no accommodations or comforts to a sick man he went back to Denver to his wife's parents. What was at first supposed to be but a slight illness developed into Typhoid fever in its worst form. He left Creede on the 16th inst., and on the following Wednesday his wife, who with her little daughter were visiting in town, received a telegram that if she would see him alive she must come at once. Mrs. Perkins and daughter left town that night and at Utica were joined by the father, G.H. Perkins, who came from New York. The party did not reach Denver until Saturday, the day after the death of the husband and son; but were informed of his death by a telegram that met them on the way. Robert W. Perkins was a bright and companionable young man enjoying the regard and warm friendship of all with whom he came in contact. He made no enemies, for he was not of that nature. He was prominent in society and social organizations, a member of Oxford Lodge No. 175 F.&A.M., an honored member of Sappho Hose company, and for a term a trustee of the village. While here he took an active part in all work that was for public good or village benefit. His death at an early age, and at a time when the future looked brighter to him than ever, seems the more sad. Only kind words are said of him, and to those that are heard throughout this native village, are added tender expressions of sympathy for the wife and child, the -parents and sisters, who alone realize the great loss they have sustained. The body will be brought to Oxford for burial. Relatives accompanying it left Denver Sunday night, and will reach here Wednesday. The funeral will be held at the house Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.--Oxford Times.
Mrs. A.J. Lyon
Chenango Union, March 31, 1892
A correspondent writes the Utica Observer from New Berlin, March 28: People were shocked early yesterday morning to learn of the sudden death of the wife of Rev. A.J. Lyon, the former pastor of the Baptist church in this village. She retired Saturday night after a busy day's work packing household goods preparatory to leaving New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY]. At 11 P.M., she was found in an unconscious condition, with blood streaming from her nostrils. She lingered until 3 A.M., when death relieved her. Mrs. Lyon was a most refined and cultured woman, beloved by all who knew her. Her death will be felt deeply by her many friends in this and other places. She leaves besides her husband a daughter, Grace, who was visiting at Syracuse, and two sons, Ernest, who is home for a few days' vacation, from Hamilton Preparatory School, and a little three-year-old boy. The remains will be taken to her former home in Fabius [Onondaga Co., NY]today, where the funeral services will be held Wednesday.
R.C. Eronimus
Chenango Union, March 31, 1892
R.C. Eronimus, a brakeman on the way freight, was killed near Hancock Junction on Saturday morning of last week. He was standing on top of a foreign car which was higher than the Ontario & Western cars, when the train passed over Cadosia creek bridge. He had his back to the engine and did not see the danger. An overhead beam struck him just back of the ear, knocking him between the cars,and three cars and a caboose passed over him; but strange to say he was not touched by the cars, and apparently the only bruise he sustained was the one which he received from the beam. His fall was seen by some of the trainmen and the train immediately stopped. Conductor James Lynch ran to him and raised his head and felt his pulse, but the man was dead. he was thirty years of age and leaves a wife and three children at Hurleyville [Sullivan Co., NY], his home. A special car was attached to the train and the remains were taken home. The officials of the road were at Hurleyville Tuesday of this week and paid Mrs. Eronimus $1,500 for her husband's death. The deceased was a new man, having been on the train only about three weeks--Walton Reporter
