Cora E. (Wilcox) Harrington

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Cora E. Harrington, wife of George l. Harrington, died at the family home on Cortland street Monday night, following an apoplectic shock suffered about 10 days before. Mrs. Harrington was the daughter of William and Maria Parker Wilcox and was born in Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY] December 2, 1857. October 9, 1877, she was united in marriage to George l. Harrington, of Sherburne, and soon thereafter they took up their residence in Norwich and had since resided here.

Besides her husband she is survived by one son, Lewis Harrington, of this city; three sisters, Mrs. E.G. Brown of Woodhull; Mrs. Horace Coville, of Pomfret, Conn., and Mrs. George Sumner, of this city, and one brother, William S. Wilcox, of East Hampton, Mass.

George T. Greene
Chenango Union, May 6, 1886
George T. Greene, the only son of Arthur Greene, died at his home near White Store [Chenango Co., NY], Saturday night, May 1st, aged 20 years. He was a young man of worth, and his many moral virtues had endeared him to a large circle of friends. Since September last it has been evident that his health was failing, and although all that tenderest love and medical skill could devise has been done for him, his frail constitution could not long withstand the ravages of his dread disease, consumption. As a tired child sinks to slumber, so he passed away to the better land. In the same room where he first saw the light, the Death Angel closed his eyes to all earthly sights forever. Many friends gathered on Tuesday, and with the choicest flowers made fragrant the resting place of the quiet sleeper. Beautiful words of eulogy for the departed, and deepest sympathy for the mourning ones, were spoken; the voices of the quartet of lifelong friends breathed their saddest and sweetest music above him; and so he was laid away to his quiet rest. No care, no sorrow, no adversity can mar that eternal rest. For the fair young wife in her bitter sorrow, for the father and mother bereft of their only child, we have aching hearts and deepest sympathy; but knowing how vain all human words are to comfort them, we can only: "May God be with you."
The pouring rain and mud of the 27th did not deter a crowd of people from gathering at the spacious farm house of George T. Greene, to attend the funeral rites of the young man cut down in life's spring time. It has been said, "Death loves a shining mark," and in this instance it seems true. George was a young man tenderly reared, the only child of doting parents, whose hearts he never pained by turning from the right. His friends were glad to learn, as stated by the officiating clergyman, Rev. LC. Hayes, that he had for some years led a life of prayer. He regretted that he had not publicly professed his faith in Christ, and untied with the church, and his first plan "when he got well," was to do so. To a friend who said, " I hope the lord will give you strength to bear your suffering," he said, "He does." Cheerful, patient and hopeful to the very last, tenderly cared for by his young wife and his parents, he fell asleep in Jesus. It was fitting that an old friend of the family, Rev. L.C. Hayes, of Norwich, should attend his obsequies. His words were fitting and appropriate, pointing the stricken hearts to the only Helper, Christ, the Resurrection and the life. The music was sweet and consoling, especially the beautiful solo by Mrs. Robert Case. A Profusion of calla lilies and trailing arbutus surrounded the coffined form, the fragrance as sweet as that of the young life which had closed on earth. He sleeps in Evergreen Cemetery, White Store, near the pleasant earthly house he left for the one which the Saviour went to prepare for him. The stricken family have the deep sympathy of the entire community. Mrs. E.J. Richmond.
