Mt. Upton, Chenango Co., NY Deaths
Chenango Union, September 5, 1907

The son of Ira Smith, who was killed at Sidney on the railroad, was buried in Maplewood cemetery last week.  Also Mrs. Garner, a lady of 83, a lifelong resident of this community, the attendance of many friends, and the beautiful flowers relieved the occasion of some of the gloom.

The funeral of Charles Willey, who died at Redlands, Cal., was largely attended and the lovely flowers from the brother masons, the Bordens and other friends in many beautiful devices told of the sympathy of all for the afflicted family and love for the departed.

The funeral of Joseph Morse of Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY], was held at the Baptist church, the sermon by Rev. Mr. Diedama.  The large attendance told of the respect of many life long friends.

And now young Carl Wadsworth, grandson of the late Rev. Wm. Wadsworht lies cold in death.  Little Carl was beloved by all.  A faithful member of the Epworth League, loving life and praying earnestly that he might recover yet a fatal disease, held him down and at last he yielded --- and clasping his mothers' neck, said "good bye mother, " and died.

James Smith
Sidney Record, August 24, 1907
Last Saturday, the 17th inst., at about 4 a.m., the body of a middle age man, who proved to be James Smith, of Merrickville, N.Y. [Delaware Co.], was discovered unconscious, lying near the D&H water crane, situate a short distance from the glass works crossing. The side of his head had sustained a deadly blow, evidently caused by the projecting crane, on which was seen blood and hair.  the victim was still alive and was conveyed to Hotel Booth, where medical aid was promptly summoned.  Heroic efforts were made to save his life but at 2:30 p.m. he died.  On Monday, the 19th inst., services were held at the M.E. church and burial was given at Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY].  No one witnessed the accident.  Mr. Smith Attended the tournament at Unadilla on Friday and the probabilities are that he returned to Sidney on the D.&H. night train that reaches here about 2:50 a.m., and undoubtedly was standing on the platform when struck by the crane.  His father, Ira Smith, was formerly a resident of Sidney Centre, but now resides at New Lisbon, N.Y.
