King D. Evans
1837 - 1904
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: King D. Evans, a prominent farmer and well known army veteran, died at his home in King's Settlement Thursday afternoon of last week, aged 67. Mr. Evans passed through a critical illness from pneumonia some time ago from the effects of which he had not fully recovered but which aggravated chronic army ailments contracted during his long and arduous career as a soldier, causing his death. Mr. Evans was a son of David and Rowena Evans and was born in Plymouth [Chenango Co., NY], April 16, 1837. On the breaking out of the civil war he enlisted in the Forty-fourth New York Volunteers, a regiment that became famous as the "Ellsworth's Avengers." In 1862 he was discharged and sent home on account of serious illness, after being in a hospital in Virginia for a long time. A few months later, having recovered his health, he again enlisted, this time in the Twenty-second New York Cavalry, Company L. He was promoted to first sergeant of this company and remained until the command was mustered out in August, 1865. During this latter service he was made deaf by a bursting shell and had had trouble with his head since that time. He became a member of E.B. Smith Post, no. 83, G.A.R., on July 28, 1879. In 1869 he married Miss Elizabeth Tiffany, of King's Settlement, who with one daughter, May, survives him. He also leaves one brother, Isaac S. Evans, of Oxford. Funeral service were held at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon from his late home. Burial was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY] with the G.A.R. ritual. The veterans who served as pall bearers were Charles A. Summer, Walter C. Walworth, Lucius Crumb, George Wood and Jefferson Carr, of Norwich, and Duane Dimmick, of Earlville.
Elizabeth A. Eccleston
Chenango Union, March 19, 1874
ECCLESTON: In this village, March 12th, Elizabeth A., wife of Hosea B. Eccleston, aged 49 years.
The subject of this notice was a sufferer for the past few months, having in vain sought relief, but finally gave up all hopes of recovery. The nature of her disease was such that she could receive but little nourishment without producing suffering intolerable, so that she became literally reduced to a skeleton, by the slow yet constant and painful wasting away of the powers of life. Yet all this she bore with Christian fortitude and resignation, without one murmur--one complaining word. But now her trials and tribulations are over. She has gone--forever gone! Neither skill, nor sympathy, not tears, could avert the stroke which has caused wounded hearts to bleed, and opened wide a fountain of tears. But those who mourn, "mourn not as those without hope," have the comforting assurance that their loss is her unspeakable gain that she died the death of the righteous that her last end--calm and serene, was like that of His.

Ralph Strong
Bainbridge News & Republican, April 25, 1946
Struck on the head by the limb of a falling tree while helping on a lumber operation at his father's farm, R.D.1, Franklin, Thursday, April 18, Ralph Strong, 29, is in a condition described as "critical" at Smith Hospital in Walton. Dr. R.V. Shatken, of Walton, Mr. Strong's physician, had not determined the exact extent of his injuries when last heard from. Mr. Strong, Fenton Groat and Frank DePietro, the latter two of Walton-Franklin road, were sawing logs with a chain saw on the Strong farm which is located five miles from Franklin. As the tree fell Mr Strong either misjudged the height of the tree or was unable to get from under it fast enough. His fellow workmen removed him to the house and a physician was called. The limb struck him full upon the head with terrific impact, rending a large hole in the hat he was wearing. Serious complications are feared. Mr. Strong is unmarried, and has two sisters, Mrs. Walter Pomeroy, of Walton, and Mrs. Vanley Blackman, of East Brook, Walton. He works with his father on the home farm.
