Carlton Lathrop

1831 - 1914

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  The death of Carlton Lathrop, a well-known resident of this place, occurred at his home on Cortland street last week at the age of 82.  The deceased was born in Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], November 17, 1831, a son of Levi and Patience Rowley Lathrop.  On March 16, 1859, he married Lovisa Norris, of Smithville, and in 1869 they took up their residence in Norwich.  Mr. Lathrop was an expert cooper and followed that trade all his life.  For a number of years he conducted a shop on Canasawacta street.  He is survived by his wife and one daughter, Miss Carrie Lathrop, of this place.  The funeral was held from his late home Saturday afternoon, Rev. A.R. Burke, of the Broad Street M.E. Church, officiating.

 

Ansel Evans

Bainbridge Republican, February 15, 1873

Died at his residence in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 10th, Ansel Evans, aged 83 years.  Mr. Evans was a son of Major Henry Evans who came from Guilford, Vermont, in 1794, and commenced improvements on lot No. 80 in Bainbridge.  Some three or four years later he removed his family from Guilford to this place, and a majority of his children have resided here.  The descendants are numerous, and a notice of them would constitute, in a great measure, the history of Bainbridge.  The deceased ever maintained the character of a good citizen and the respect of the community at large.  For many years he has been a communicant of St. Peter's Church, Bainbridge, and has by his acts illustrated the Christian life.  In his death we sustain the loss.  He the greatest gain.

Daniel Salisbury

Chenango Union, February 10, 1876

In 1863, Daniel Salisbury, of Cortland [Cortland Co., NY] - then about twenty years of age - was convicted of murder, he having deliberately poisoned his young wife, who died a lingering and terrible death.  He was sentenced to be hanged, but by some means a commutation of his sentence was obtained, and he was sent to Auburn State Prison for life.  When he found that he had escaped the gallows, he confessed his guilt, and glibly described the means by which he disposed of his unfortunate wife.  On Monday of last week he died in prison, from congestion of the lungs.  His aged mother and a sister arrived at the prison hospital about half an hour before he died, but he was unconscious, and did not recognize them.  His remains were removed to Cortland for interment.

 

Jehial Evans

Chenango American, Greene, NY, January 31, 1884

Jehial Evans, who died on Wednesday of last week, was the oldest man in town.  He was one of the first trustees of the village of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] when the village was incorporated in 1829, the late Col Juliand being President of the Board of Trustees at that time.  Dr. Wm. D. Purple, of Greene, is the only one of the original officers of that board, now living [in 1884].  Mr. Evans lived to a ripe old age and was honored and respected by all who knew him.  His ancestors were the first settlers of the town, and at one time owned nearly all the land in this vicinity.  Thus another old landmark has passed away--Bainbridge Republican
