Horace C. Denison

New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY]:  Once more death has defied all that human love and the best of medical skill could do and Horace C. Denison has been called to the great beyond.  he passed away Friday morning, January 26, 1906.  He had been ill with pneumonia just one week.  Deceased was a son of Ray L. Denison, of Edmeston [Otsego Co., NY], where he was born and where, in 1893, he was married to Miss Sarah Loull, also of that place.  There also he was laid to rest.  In 1895 Mr. Denison entered the employ of the Borden Condensed milk Company and came to New Berlin where as foreman of the well room he had been a most efficient and popular employee.  He was a member of Crystal Hose, No. 1, of the Village Fire Department.  The condenser was closed to allow the employees to attend the funeral.  Their floral tribute was a magnificent cross six feet high.  The firemen sent a beautiful pillow, while the casket was covered by the offerings of others.  The large attendance attested the high esteem in which Mr. Denison was held by all.
