Michael Hadlock
1832 - 1912
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Michael Hadlock, for nearly 60 years a resident of Norwich, died at the home of his son in Marshall, Texas, May 29, aged 80. Mr. Hadlock was born in Ireland and came to America and direct to Norwich in aboum1852. For 15 or 20 years of his long residence here he was an employee in the Maydole Hammer Factory. Afterwards, for 23 years he was an D.L.&W. Railroad section man, until his health failed and he was forced to abandon the hard work in which he had engaged during the greater part of his life. He married Mary Cleary, of Norwich, about 1864. She died about eight years ago, since which time his daughter kept house for him, until her death last September. Mr. Hadlock then went to Marshall, Texas, to reside with a son, Frank P. Hadlock, besides whom he is survived by a second son, Robert M. Hadlock, of Norwich. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Catherine Griffin and Mrs. Thomas Quinn, both residents of Norwich. Funeral services were held Saturday, burial being made at Marshall.
Laura E. (Bowen) Shelton
Norwich Sun, November 23, 1912
The death of Mrs. Laura E. Shelton, which occurred at the family home on Avery street Monday afternoon of the 18th inst. moves to deep sympathy and keen sorrow the hearts of many friends. Mrs. Shelton suffered long, but with neither murmur nor complaint. Disease, relentless, grasped about her the most cruel coil, beyond the ken of man to cure. Yet she rebelled not against the decree of the Master she truly worshipped and obeyed. Loath to leave devoted family and friends, still her gentle spirit bowed in submission--"Thy will be done." Laura E. Shelton, wife of Andrew J. Shelton, was born in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] the daughter of Seth and Ellen Bowen. The family resided in that township for many years, moving to Sidney in 1899. She was a woman of strong Christian character; patient, loving and self-sacrificing. Hers was a life nobly and divinely lived. True to her membership of 40 years in the Methodist Episcopal communion, Mrs. Shelton was ever steadfast in her church work and duties and her loss will be keenly felt in all circles of the community. The funeral on Wednesday gave expression to the love and sympathy of friends. Rev. D.L. MacDonald officiated, and dwelt feelingly on the theme: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his Saints." Interment followed in Prospect Hill cemetery [Sidney, Delaware Co., NY]. None but those who have sat in the shadow of a great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this. Those who have gone down into the valley of suffering and stood for months by the side of a loved one, hope after hope dropping away, as the petals fall from a fading flower, know that such anguish cannot find solace in the tenderest words. She who has gone forth could not be supported on her solitary path by any earthly friend. The husband with a devotion few men are capable of, whose strength was given sweetly, tenderly to this precious invalid, whose heroic devotion never faltered, could not detain her by the clasp of earthly love; but after the last word had been spoken, the last sign of recognition was gone, a look of peace settled on her face which proclaimed victory, and he knew she was resting on a Mighty Arm--Sidney Record
Andrew J. Shelton
Otsego Journal, April 5, 1928
It is with deep sorrow when a host of Guilford friends received news that Andrew J. Shelton entered into eternal rest on Bridge street, Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], March 24th, of heart trouble. Mr. Shelton spent his early days in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], having been born here 80 years ago in the old Shelton stone house. Early in life he united in marriage to Miss Laura Bowen, of Guilford Centre, who passed on in 1913. Mr. Shelton moved to Sidney 27 years ago and purchased a home there. He was a devoted member of the Methodist church, having joined the Guilford church, but upon his removal to Sidney, transferred his membership there. The funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon by Rev. R.W. Dix of Binghamton. Being well known here and spending his younger days in this community his warm and tender friendship will long linger as a precious memory in the hearts of former neighbors and friends here. Among those who survive are a brother, Lucius Shelton of Norwich; four nieces, Lulu Chase, of Norwich, Nellie, Edith and Bertha Scott of Oneonta, three nephews, Wins Shelton of Binghamton, A.B. Shelton of Norwich, and W.P. Shelton of Guilford, Burial in Prospect Hill cemetery, Sidney. Relatives in their loss have the sympathy of many here.
