Laverne W. Yale
1862 -1901
Laverne W. Yale died at the home of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. Luman B. Yale in Yaleville, Thursday morning, August 8, 1901, aged 38 years and 11 months.  When about 20 years of age, Mr. Yale, who was then teaching, was taken ill at his school with scarlet fever, and removed to his home from which he never went forth again in health.  For more than 18 years he had been confined to his room and his bed and had been a great sufferer, at times requiring the constant attention of the members of the household.  During all this period the father had spent but a very few nights away from his son's bedside, and with loving hands had the patient sufferer been ministered to.  When about 18 years old his father baptized him into the membership of the Baptist church and that membership continued until his death, and his unswerving faith in Christ has been a source of great comfort to him and to his family.  Besides his parents Mr. Yale leaves to mourn his loss from the family, three brothers, Arthur E. of Minnesota, Rev. Homer F. of North Carolina, and Merwin I. who lives at home, and one sister, Hattie, also living with the parents.  The funeral services were held under the shade of the overhanging trees in the dooryard of the home on Saturday last at  11 o'clock.  His pastor, Rev. C.D. Reed, officiated, and the four Toby brothers, Martin, Chris, John and Uriah, acted as bearers for the friend and playmate of their boyhood days. the worn body was laid at rest in the beautiful cemetery at Yaleville.
 
Christina Toby
1822 - 1892
Entered into rest Aug. 19th at Yaleville [Chenango Co., NY], Mrs. Christina Toby, widow of Martin Toby, who died May 1st, 1879.  She was born in Germany Nov. 28, 1822, was married to Mr. Toby Jan. 11, 1842,  They came to Guilford in 1854 with their little family, strangers in a strange land, but soon were at home and happy in their new surroundings, finding kind friends who were glad to welcome them.  She leaves to mourn her loss, two sons in California, Chris and John Toby of this village, Mrs. Bradley of Guilford, and Martin Toby of Yaleville to whom the loss seems doubly great, she being (since the death of his wife) the one to take the place of mother to his little daughter, and for them go out in sympathy the hearts of kind friends in this their now desolate home.  They can only commend them to the loving Father, who was the support and stay of the widowed mother.  She died trusting with implicit faith in God and in the full assurance of an abundant entrance into the rest that remaineth to the people of God and a happy reunion with loved ones gone before.  Loving friends strewed her casket with flowers, among those, a beautiful design from Mrs. Lucia A. Clark of Guilford, who was one of her first acquaintances on her arrival in America.  A large concourse of people gathered in her home, and on a lovely Sabbath afternoon all that was mortal was laid away in the cemetery near her home.  The Rev. Mr. Frisbee of Guilford officiating very acceptably at the services. 
 
To the kind friends who so kindly assisted in caring for our loved mother and ministered to her last wants, and so lovingly helped in so many ways, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks for all your kindness and sympathy -- Martin Toby, Yaleville, N.Y.
