Elijah Hyde
Norwich Courier (Norwich, CT), January 14, 1801
At Lebanon [CT], on Wednesday morning, Dec. 31st, after four weeks distressing illness, and a life of distinguished and unabating usefulness, Major Elijah Hyde. Content in the sphere allotted him, he justly sustained the character of an ardent and generous lover of his country. In public life his services were ever performed with zeal and fidelity. He was a tender and indulgent parent, a kind and generous neighbor; sincere and persevering in his friendships, friendly to the poor social and generous with his friends and acquaintance. By performing the relative duties of private life with Christian cheerfulness, he adorned and dignified his station in the world. In life he was respected and beloved, by a large and extensive acquaintance; In death universally lamented.
Thomas Humphrey
Oxford Times, June 26, 1839
In Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], on the 20th inst. Thomas Humphrey, Esq. aged 64 years. The deceased was the oldest inhabitant of Bainbridge, having resided there for more than forty years. He possessed a sound mind and a discriminating judgment, and filled several important public stations with honor to himself and advantage to his constituents. He was characterized for that firmness, honesty, frankness and independence for which our ancestors were so justly celebrated. The disease which terminated his earthly career was dropsy. Though painful he bore it with uncommon patience ad Christian fortitude and resignation. He anticipated the time of his exit with calm composure and sometimes with apparent exultation. He lived in peace and reconciliation with all men, and died in the full faith of a happy immortality beyond the grave. He has gone! But his memory remains and excites a hallowed influence in favor of morality and virtue.
