Helen (Jones) Munson Hall
1842 - 1918
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: Mrs. Helen Munson Hall, who died last week at the home of her sister, Mrs. William F. Hall, on Fair street, was born in Norwich 77 years ago. She was the daughter of Capt. William Jones, and had spent the larger share of her long life in her native place. In her maidenhood she was married to Merritt M. Munson, a well known business man of Norwich. After several years' residence here they moved to Geneseo, Ill., where Mr. Munson and their infant son both died. Thereupon she returned to Norwich with her daughter Cornelia, who died at the age of 16 years. Later she was married to Samuel S. Hall. Mrs. Hall was a communicant of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and a faithful worker in its activities. For six years she was matron at the Chenango Valley Home and endeared herself to the directors and inmates by her faithful performance of her duties and scrupulous attention to the comfort of those under her care. Ill health compelled her to relinquish the duties as matron. During her last illness she was tenderly cared for by her sister and brother, with whom she made her home. Of her immediate family the sister, Mrs. William F. Hall and the brother, William S. Jones, are the only survivors. A woman of especially gentle and sterling qualities she was fond of her home and her friends and was held in the highest esteem by a wide circle of acquaintances. In the church as well as in the home circle she will be sadly missed and sincerely mourned. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Manning Bennett officiating. Burial was made in Mount Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY].
Sanford Moore
Otsego Journal, May 3, 1882
Sanford Moore died at the home of his son, W.S. Moore, Jr., one mile below this place on Monday night of pneumonia. Mr. Moore, was one of our oldest residents, he having been born in 1800. He has resided in this vicinity for many years, at one time conducting a hotel in this place, as most of our older inhabitants remember. Since then he has resided on the farm where he died. He was an exceptionally active man for one of his advanced years and until taken with the fatal disease that ended his life, bid fair to live for years yet. Mr. Moore will long be remembered as a man who held pronounced political views and who acted up to his opinions fearlessly on all occasions, regardless of popularity, and we can say that those who differed with him never questioned his honesty of belief in what he advocated. Thus passes away another representative of that hardy race of pioneers that has seen the wonderful progress of this country from its primeval stages up to an age of advancement and discovery that is a wonder even to itself. The funeral will occur at his late residence on Wednesday at 2 p.m.
Stanford G. Morse
South New Berlin Bee, October 25, 1924
White Store [Chenango Co., NY]: The many friends of Stanford G. Morse will be very sorry to know that he died Thursday evening, October 16, 1924 at 11:45 o'clock, at his home in Holmesville [Chenango Co., NY]. For many years he had resided in Norwich where he worked at his trade, that of carpenter, and when his health failed he longed to come back near his old home, often making the remark "he had come back home to die." He was the son of William and Iantha Hoag Morse and was born and grew to manhood on the farm now owned and occupied by A. Franklin. He was a great lover of nature, and was the happiest when able to start on a hunting or fishing trip. He was a great sufferer from progressive shocks, each one leaving him weaker. About three weeks before his death he suffered the hardest one which left him helpless and almost speechless. He was twice married. In early life he was married to Hattie Parsons. To them were born two children that died in infancy. After the death of this wife he spent some time in travel in the West and South. September 29, 1891, he was again married to Mrs. Emma Wood, who survives him and has tenderly cared for him in his declining years. He was born August 28, 1853. His funeral was held Monday in the White Store church, it being his wish to have it held in his old home church; it was largely attended, Rev. Mr. Harding, of Norwich, officiating. The committal service was in charge of the I.O.O.F., of Norwich, of which he was a member, and was very impressive. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. He was the last of his father's family, his brother Arvine Morse having passed away nine months ago. He leaves the wife before mentioned, one nephew, M.A. Morse, one niece, Mrs. Charles Annis, and many friends, to mourn his death.
