Phebe Steere
Chenango Union, January 10, 1866
Died in Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], Dec. 23d, 1865, Mrs. Phebe Steere, wife of Smith Steere, Esq., aged 69 years. Her death was her birth. We wept; but our tears were for ourselves, not for her who was gone. Home will be dark without her, and the Church of God has lost one of those ornaments that are brightest when most scrutinized. We leave her where she is, till the day dawns and the shadows flee away. And when we look through life for one who was always good, we shall find her every time we speak of "Mother,"--Should you pass by her grave, and notice in the grass an earlier green, and in the flowers a richer hue, it may be because the charm her spirit wore still lingers in her dust.
Paulina (Yale) Cooper
About 4 o'clock Friday morning, Sept. 15, 1893, Mrs. Curtis Cooper entered into life eternal at the home of her daughter at Windsor, N.Y. Paulina Yale, daughter of Elam and Merab Yale, was born in Guilford, N.Y. [Chenango Co.] Dec. 15, 1824. She was marred to Curtis Cooper of that place Oct. 1, 1845, to whom she was a most devoted wife. No children were born to these two, but several received at their hands the tender care akin to that of real fatherhood and motherhood. One, whose lips for years called her by the sacred name of mother, Philip B. Toby, died in California in the fall of 1889. On October 1, 1870 their silver-wedding day, Mr. and Mrs. Cooper adopted a daughter, Anna E. Hidley, then a child of six years, now residing in Windsor, the wife of the Rev. O.A. Sands. With this daughter, whose life has been richly blessed with the devoted love, the infinite tenderness, the watchful, never-ceasing care of her whom God had truly made a mother, Mrs. Cooper was living when she was called away. In 1876 Mr. and Mrs. Cooper removed to Bainbridge, where, with Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Yale, they made their home at what was known as the Dr. Yale place. All her life Mrs. Cooper was a great sufferer, bearing all with the patience and cheerfulness of the sweet saint of God that she was. She was suffering with pneumonia at the last, but was recovering from that disease, and the immediate cause of her death, was heart failure. She was buried in the Cooper Cemetery near Yaleville, N.Y., Sunday, Sept. 17, 1893.
James Yale
Guilford Mail, May 1896
Last Thursday night, as 12 o'clock, Mr. James Yale of this village, died of apoplexy at 71 years of age. Mr. Yale had been in feeble health for some time which was the decay of declining years. He was born in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], Oct. 7th, 1824 and carried on farming in that town until he came to Bainbridge twenty years ago. He then entered actively into all the interests of the town and by his conservative counsels was a valuable aid to church and business. At the formation of the National bank of Bainbridge he was made one of the directors which office he filled satisfactory until failing health obliged him to relinquish business entirely. For fifty years he had been a communicant of the Baptist church of Bainbridge. Mr. Yale was a Christian gentleman, a good citizen and a man who loved probity and honor. Although absent from the daily walks of life for two years, his death is none the less regretted by all who knew him. He was the last member of a family of nine children. The late Dr. John Yale, a former resident of Bainbridge, and who died in California, was a brother. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Emma Cooper, of Guilford, and three daughters; Mrs. Henry Howe of Bainbridge, Mrs. Predmore of Guilford, and Mrs. B.O. Rockwell of Michigan. The funeral services were observed at his late residence, Sunday at half past one, and largely attended, many coming from out of town. The Rev. James R. Edwards, of Colgate University conducted the obsequies, and the interment was in the Cooper burying ground at Guilford--Bainbridge Republican

Afton Enterprise, October 11, 1900
Mrs. Sarah A. Yale entered into rest Saturday, Sept. 29, 1900. She was the second of a family of ten children and eldest daughter of Parson and Margaret Beecher, who were among the early pioneers of Coventry [Chenango Co., NY] coming here from Naugatuck, Conn., in 1806 and settling in the west part of the town on the farm now occupied by Samuel Porter, and the house she was born in at that time the first frame house between Coventry and Greene. She was married in 1832 to Samuel Stoddard who died about three years later in December, 1835. She was again married in October 1843 to Amos Yale of Coventryville and resided on the farm now occupied by Elmer Shapley. Two children were born to them. Margaret and Ella. Mr. Yale died in February, 1856, and thus left her to bear the burdens of life alone. The family remained on the Yale farm till March, 1889, when they moved to Binghamton where she has since resided with her daughter Mrs. Will Merritt. Mrs. Yale was a member of the second Congregational church of Coventry. A kind neighbor and a devoted wife and mother. About two years ago she was stricken with paralysis and has since been an invalid, tenderly cared for by her daughters until the end came, and she went home. Funeral services were held Sunday P.M. at Binghamton, and the remains were brought here Monday for interment, accompanied by a large number of relatives and friends; Rev. McIntyre officiated at the grave. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers and she was laid to rest in the cemetery at Coventryville beside those of her loved ones who had gone before. She is survived by a sister, Mrs. Jane Hoyt of Kingston, N.Y., and two brothers, Hector and Daniel Beecher of Coventry.
