Charles H . Stuart
1849 - 1912
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Charles H. Stuart, a respected resident of this place, passed away at his home on Elm street, Monday evening. His death followed a few days' illness. Deceased was 63 years of age and was born in Woodhull, N.Y. [Steuben Co.], April 8, 1849, but the larger share of his life was spent in Elmira where he was engaged in the drug business. He had also been in business in Horseheads, Chemung county, North East, Erie county, Pa., and in Boston, Mass., he was connected with the Boston Liquid Food Company's Hospital. He came to this village about seven years ago to accept a responsible position with the Norwich Pharmacal Company. Mr. Stuart became a Mason at Horseheads and after coming to Norwich affiliated with the local lodge. In politics he was a Prohibitionist and an ardent supporter of the party. For two years he was the county chairman. When a youth he became a member of the Methodist church with which he had been associated wherever he resided. He was leader of the Sunday morning class of the Broad Street M.E. Church of this village, also a teacher of a boys' class and a member of the official board. At Horseheads, Mr. Stuart married Miss Harriet E. Nichols who survives him together with two sisters, Mrs. Miller Hall, of Alpine, N.Y., and Mrs. Emma Read, of California; one cousin, Mrs. Belle J. Wilbur, of North Tarrytown, N.Y., and Miss Kittie M. Stuart, an adopted daughter. Funeral services were held Thursday morning at the Broad Street M.E. Church, the pastor, Rev. A.R.

William Bown
Northern Christian Advocate, July 24, 1849
Dear Bro. Hosmer:--I have just received, by letter from my brother-in-law, the painful intelligence of the death of my father, Mr. William Bown. He died in the town of Elkland, Lycoming Co., Pa., on the 3d of July, in the 67th year of his age. His health had been failing for several months, and on the 17th of June I started to visit him for the last time; and after spending four days with him, was compelled to leave him one week previous to his death. His sufferings have been long and painful, but his patience was remarkable, and his mind remained clear until the close of life. For nearly two weeks before the time I left him, he was unable to take scarcely any nourishment, even enough to sustain nature; and until the time of his death, which occurred one week later, he was unable to take anything at all. My father and grandfather were among the first settlers in the town and cleared the farm where I spent several of the first years of my life; where my father died, and where my brother and widowed mother still live. It becomes me to say but little concerning one of whom much might be said. C.L. Bown, Starkey, July 11, 1849
Catharine Bell Diefendorf
Northern Christian Advocate, July 24, 1849
Mrs. Catharine Diefendorf, consort of Geo. Diefendorf, died at Freya Bush, Montgomery county, N.Y., June 3, in the 68th year of her age. Sister Diefendorf was among the number that constituted the first Methodist society in the above named place, and for nearly forty years was fellowshipped as a faithful and devoted Christian. From the period Methodism was first planted at Freye-Bush, [the] Diefendorf's house has been the preacher's [place.]. It was only necessary to furnish satisfactory evidence of being an authorized and approved minister of the M.E. Church, to insure a hearty welcome to all the convenience and comfort possible for their hands and means to supply. God has abundantly rewarded this, their liberality, by giving them temporal prosperity, and also in the conversion of all their children, ten in number--seven sons and three daughters; and there is good prospect that brother and sister D. will be able, in the day of God's final disposition of the human family, to say, "here are we, and the children which thou hast given us." God grant that it may be so. The deceased, for several of her last years, suffered severely from that indescribable disease called dyspepsia, of which she also died. One of its prominent peculiarities of effect upon the human constitution is known to be, deep mental depression. Yet under all the severity of her protracted affliction, the grace of God so far abounded as to reconcile her feelings to the evil imposed, and to light up a clear and steady prospect of soon entering a mansion awaiting her at God's right hand. Sister D. exemplified in the manner, both of her life and death, the spirit and power of the gospel.
