For many years Milton Frisbie has been a well known citizen of Meredith and Delhi [Delaware Co., NY]; but most of his days a resident of Delhi, where, after a somewhat protracted illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude and resignation, he died on Thursday, of last week, July 12, being a little more than 76 years of age. He was the father of E.S. Frisbie, D.D., president of Wells College, Aurora, N.Y., and of C.M. Frisbie, physician and druggist, Bainbridge, N.Y. Mr. Frisbie was a son of Hon. Gideon Frisbie, first Judge of Delaware co., and was born in the Frisbie homestead near Fitch's Bridge, where the first courts in the county were held, and where in the family burial ground his remains were deposited. His life was the life of a devoted Christian, for many years a ruling Elder in the Second Presbyterian church. He was punctiliously honest in all his dealings, and held integrity of character as a priceless possession. 'Blessed are the dead which die in the lord."
Walter Pearce
Bainbridge Republican, September 14, 1888
Walter Pearce, of Gloversville [Fulton Co., NY], died suddenly a few days since of heart failure, believed to have been induced by excessive cigarette smoking. He was seventeen years old. One day during a visit to his aunt in Albany last winter, young Pearce smoked a great number of cigarettes, and fell dangerously ill as a consequence. He recovered, however, and it was hoped that the lesson would be salutary. But in this his friends were disappointed, and his death as a consequence of the cigarette habit is now mourned. This warning should be heeded by others.
Frank L. Landers
December 22, 1904
Frank L. Landers, for a number of years buyer for the Tower Manufacturing Co., 306-308 Broadway, New York, died suddenly Monday evening of heart disease at his home, Arlington Ave., Jersey City. While Mr. Landers had suffered from poor health for many years, Monday he seemed in his usual health which day he passed at his desk. The announcement of his death, Tuesday morning came as a great shock to his numerous friends in trade. He was connected with the Tower company for over a quarter of a century. No man in the country probably possessed a better knowledge of the quality and value of stationary, nor did few in the trade enjoy a wider acquaintanceship. Of a retiring and unassuming disposition, few guessed his varied capabilities until they became well acquainted with the man. Mr. Landers was born in Afton, N.Y. [Chenango Co.] March 26, 1862. He entered the employ of the S.A. Tower & Co. about 1872 and has been with the house ever since, with the exception of three months in 1875 when he connected himself with the Mutual News Co. of New York, but when this company went out of existence he returned to the Tower Co. For his three months service with the Mutual News he was paid $3,000, the largest salary ever paid in the stationary trade for the time employed. He was at one time a member of the Brotherhood of Commercial Travelers and had long been affiliated with the Royal Areanum. His funeral was held at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening and was largely attended by his fellow workers at the Tower co., members of the New York Stationery Trade and Unique Council Royal Arcanum, Jersey City. All who knew him deeply mourn the loss of a true friend. The immediate relatives to survive him is his widow, and mother and sister.
