Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Unless some others have been lost in the survey, Chenango county can now count only seven living ex-sheriffs.  The recent death of John Robb was followed in a few days by the retirement of Sheriff Holcomb, keeping the number good at seven.

 

It was 21 years ago, on the 21t day of December, 1894, at midnight, that George W. Payne received the keys, took the oath and assumed the custody of the county bastille and the other duties belonging to the office.  He served three years, the limit prescribed by law, which prohibits a sheriff succeeding himself in office.  He was followed in turn by Zenas Tarble, George l. Page, James J. Flanagan, William E. Beardsley, Harmon A. Walworth and Charles B. Holcomb, all of whom served one term of three years each.

 

Of these seven men, six hailed from the southern towns of the county and four of these found the physical, social and commercial air of Norwich so salubrious that they never went back to their native heaths, but remained at the county seat and have made good and worthy citizens.  It may be that their familiarity with crime and its consequences during their official careers has prompted them to good and exemplary behavior as private citizens.  Most of them came from the farm and three are still largely interested in agricultural affairs, four having taken up other pursuits.

 

It is worthy of note in passing that all seven of the ex-sheriffs are Republicans in politics.  Mr. Payne succeeding in the office Edward W. Lally, deceased, the only Democrat to hold the position since the memory of the present day man knoweth not when.  Under the fees system, which prevailed until 15 years ago, this office was one of the most lucrative in the gift of the county, and even under the salary system, though less attractive in some of the emoluments it bears.  It is always eagerly sought after in the triennial race of political preferment.

Mary Jane Winsor

Otsego Journal, July 19, 1917

Mrs. Winsor died on the morning of July 11th.  The immediate illness that caused her death had not been of long duration, but her advanced age supplemented by a fall that she sustained some time ago, proved more than her vitality could successfully withstand.  Since the death of her husband, Edson Winsor, a few years ago she has resided with and been cared for by her daughter Della, at the Winsor home at the north end of the village, the relations existing between the two being one of those close ones that develop under such circumstances and make the inevitable parting so hard to bear.  Mrs. Winsor was the daughter of Ezra Gibbs and was born in this town November 5, 1828.  Throughout her long and useful life she was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of relatives and friends and exemplified in its highest sense the qualities of wife, mother and friend.  She was married to Edson Winsor January 14, 1858, and is survived by one daughter and two sons, Miss Della Winsor, Fred, of Rockwells Mills, and W.E. Winsor, of Sidney. Also by three sisters, Mrs. Zenas Winsor, of Norwich; Mrs. R.Z. Arnold, of Mt. Upton, and Mrs. Delos Arnold, of Preston.  Mrs. Winsor untied with the Presbyterian church of North Guilford when but 19 years of age and for 70 years maintained this relationship, being the oldest living member of the society as regards the duration of her connection with it at the time of her death.  These many years of faithful service and loyalty to the church of her choice are exceptional in any human life, and constitute a record that is rare indeed. The funeral  of Mrs. Winsor occurred at her late home on Saturday at 2 o'clock.  Many relatives and friends were present.  The services were conducted by Rev. W.D. Lathrop of the Methodist church. The burial was by the side of her husband at Evergreen cemetery, White Store [Chenango Co., NY], where many others of the family have found their last resting place.

She was of Unitarian faith and is survived by a niece and nephew.  The funeral was held in the church at White Store, Wednesday, January 19, 1938, at 1:00 o'clock p.m., Rev. C.H. Skinner, pastor of the Baptist church South New Berlin, officiating.  Burial was in the cemetery at White Store [Chenango Co., NY].

Early History of Bainbridge, NY

Early Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY History

(Author unknown)

Edna Pixley Scrapbook

The rattle of musketry has scarcely been quieted by the close of the American War of Independence, when the states of Vermont and New York became involved in a bitter boundary dispute, which ended with Vermont confiscating the boundary lands of families who had believed in sovernity of New York.

 

On March 1, 1786, the State of  New York granted the lands now comprising the Towns of Bainbridge and Afton to these families.  The grant was name Clinton.  In 1791 the name Jericho was given a Town then formed which consisted of present Bainbridge town Afton, parts of Oxford, Greene and Norwich, but the name Clinton was unofficially retained for parts of the Town.  Norwich and Oxford were taken off in 1793, Greene in 1798, and Afton in 1857.

 

Shortly after the grants to the "Vermont Sufferers," these families started coming into what was then a peaceful wilderness.  Elnathan Bush is recognized as having been the first settler, although Robert Harper had lived here claiming all the land under grant from the friendly Indians.  The state repudiated Harper's claims.

 

Bush settled here in 1786; in what is now the Town of Afton, but moved a few years later to the land now known as Harmony Farms.  In 1786, Caleb Bennett made the first settlement in what is now the Town of Bainbridge, and the community of Bennettsville, which was named after him.

 

In the next few years the Kirby, Guthrie, Evans, Bixby, Stowel, Smith, Fuller, Bacon, Newton, Allison, Redfield, Stockwell, Hitchcock, Nourse, Campbell, Betts, Carpenter, Myers, Warner, Beals, Humphrey, Hyde, Fairchild, Bump, Nicholas, Prince, Conant, Samuel, Pearsall, Curtis, Sears, Banks, Thompson, Seely, Lawrence, Fitch, Benton, Searles, Ireland, Lyon, Copley and Johnson families, came in and by the turn of the century the Town of Jericho was thriving although only a sparsely settled community.

 

Indians never bothered the settlers to any degree, as there is no record of Indian warfare.  Wild animals must have been fairly numerous and evidently did considerable damage to the cattle herds--in 1792, a bounty of forty shillings was voted at a town meeting for the destruction of "wolves and painters " [panthers].

 

One of the interesting sidelights of these early days, was the pumpkin freshet, so called because a sudden flood swept hundreds upon hundreds of these vegetables into the current.  Gould Bacon, whose home was on the low lands, escaped drowning by hastily straddling a floating log, and in his words, was soon "surrounded by pumpkins and painters"--his log finally came to rest in a drift of flood wood, and Bacon was able to roast pumpkins for food and shoot at painters for sport until rescued.

 

The early settlers prospered both in agricultural and business life, and men with capital joined the first families shortly after the start of the nineteenth century.

 

Baron de Zeng, a Hessian who had arrived in the new world just too late to take part in the Revolutionary war, became so interested in the new Republic that he transferred his possessions to America and settled in Bainbridge.

 

The baron invested heavily in turnpikes, farms, and other business ventures and built some of the earliest mansions here.  His home, which was located across the Susquehanna became the show place of his time, and the business life of the community for years centered more or less around his activities.

 

He also built a beautiful home for his brother, which was later sold to Colonel Richard Juliand, the first president of the corporation of Bainbridge. Colonel Juliand filled his home with beautiful furnishings which in later years became exceptionally valuable antiques. The Juliand family still occupy [in 1930s] this show place of Bainbridge, and Miss Janet Juliand, her sister and niece, Mrs. and Miss Dickinson, take an active part in the social and civic life of present day Bainbridge.

 

Peter Betts, who founded the settlement of Bettsburg, nearby, moved to Bainbridge early in the century and for a number of years was one of the leading business men.  Betts also speculated in land and in industrial plants, and was intimately connected with the development of the section.

Afton Enterprise, May 14, 1896

Mrs. Horace Doing was burned to death at her home, about one mile north of McDonough village [Chenango Co., NY] Monday morning.  Mrs. Doing who lives alone arose as usual at about 6:30 Monday morning and prepared to start a fire in the kitchen stove which she did and noticing that the blaze had somewhat subsided she went out in the yard to get some wood chips to replenish the same.  Mrs. Doing did the same as is customary with most women and got her apron full of chips.  In putting the chips into the stove her apron and dress caught fire. She ran out doors, then into the house where she tried to smother the flames with some bed quilts, but all to no avail.  All of her clothes burned up in spite of all she could do, and at this time being horribly burned as she was, she rushed out in the yard where she remained until help came which was about fifteen minutes.  Finally Addison Saufelt, a farmer living near by, hearing her screams, came to her rescue.  Sauflet carried the screaming woman into the house and at once sent for a doctor. She died before eleven o'clock Monday morning and remained conscious until the last.  What she suffered while gradually burning to death, being alone most of the time, can never be described.  Mrs. Doing was a widow and 50 years of age.  Her husband died less than a year ago, from which time she has lived alone on the farm up to the time of her death Monday--Norwich Sun.

Arthur Stanard

Cortland Standard, January 24, 1919

South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY]:  The hand of death has been harshly laid upon our community of late and I am pained to mention two more this week. A telegram was received Sunday night by Chas. H. Woodley from Ivan Stanard at Winterthur, Del. saying that they (probably he and his mother) would arrive with Arthur's body at Cincinnatus Tuesday.  The particulars of this young man's death have not been learned but Arthur Stanard, a son of Mrs. Droa Stanard has spent his boyhood days here with his mother and his brothers and was known as a young man of good habits and inclinations and full of promise.  He was bright and industrious and a large circle of friends will be shocked at his sudden death. We unite with the whole community in expression of sympathy to the mother and two surviving brothers, Ivan and Cecil, in their sad bereavement.  The young man was about 20 years of age.

Leroy J. Adams

Syracuse Journal, June 28, 1913

Leroy J. Adams of East Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], a brakeman for the New York Central Road, was found dead in the New York Central freight house in East buffalo on Friday.  Adams had been missing about an hour and his comrades started a search for the Syracusan, coming across his dead body.  It is believed that he fell between two freight cars. Adams is 30 years old and is married.  Dr. Danser, the medical examiner, ordered the body to the Buffalo Morgue, where it awaits claimants form Syracuse.

Madison County Leader, July 10, 1913

The Morrisville friends of the family were painfully surprised last week to learn of the tragic death of LeRoy J. Adams, who was killed at East buffalo, during the early morning of June 27th, and while working as a brakeman on the New York Central railroad. The accident was caused by the unfortunate young man being thrown from the top of a box car, his neck being broken in the fall.  He had been working for the Central for about a year and one-half.

LeRoy, who was born on a farm near Morrisville and where he lived until a short time previous to the family moving to Cazenovia, some three or four years ago, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Adams, whose Morrisville friends will sympathize with them in their sudden affliction.  He was a young man of good habits, energetic and genial.  He was about thirty years of age and is survived by his parents, three sisters and one brother. The funeral was held from the home of his parents at Cazenovia on the following Sunday, burial being made in the cemetery there beside his wife and little daughter.

Hobart A. Matteson for Sheriff - 1915

Democratic Nominee for Sheriff - Hobart A. Matteson

Utica Saturday Globe, October 1915

 

Hobart J. Matteson

New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY]:  Hobart A. Matteson, the Democratic candidate for sheriff of Chenango county [NY], is one of the foremost citizens of New Berlin.  Usually a Democratic nomination in this county does not offer much hope for election, yet if Mr. Matteson were as well and favorably known throughout the county as he is in his home town there would be little question of his election.  As it is he will give a good account of himself at the polls.

 

Mr. Matteson is a native of the town of Pittsfield, Otsego county, where he was born in 1871.  When 11 years of age, with his parents, he came to New Berlin, which has since been his home.  For the past 11 years he has been in the laundry business and for most of the time its active manager.  He is at present chief of the Fire Department.  He has not been an office seeker, but has always taken as active interest in the fortunes of the Democratic party.

 

Mr. Matteson is married and has two children, Mrs. Arnold McCormack, and one son Lee Matteson.  He is a member of Phoebus Lodge, No. 83, F.&A.M., and Ehrenbreitstein lodge, No. 152, I.O.O.F.  He has also passed through the chairs of the Order of Red Men.  He has been president of the local legion of the N.P.L. since 1901.

 

No party ever had a more representative man for its candidate and with the feeling that New Berlin and the Unadilla valley towns are not very well treated in distributing offices in the county, he will command a large Republican vote in his own town.

William Lewis

South New Berlin Bee, October 1, 1898

Anna W. Chace

Chenango Union, June 5, 1872

In Preston [Chenango Co., NY], Widow Anna W. Chace, aged 92 years.  She with her husband (the late Capt. David Chace) moved into Preston about seventy years ago, and she lived and died on the farm her husband purchased sixty-six years ago.  She lived to see the county and town in which they first settled, changed from a howling wilderness to green pastures and beautiful meadows.  She possessed great physical strength and endurance, for during the clearing of the first fifty acres of their farm, she attended to her household duties by day, and assisted her husband by night, in burning logs and brush.  She leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn her departure; yet they mourn not like those who have no hope of meeting in a higher life.  Mrs. Chase lived to do good.  Liberal in her religious opinions, she always felt it her duty to help the poor and unfortunate.  Always calm and confiding, she looked upon the bright side of life, and was cheerful and happy.  Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends, who came out to perform the last duty we owe our departed ones.  Sermon by Rev. A.G. Clark, of DeRutyter, Text, 2d Cor., 5th chap., 1st verse.
