James B. Miller

Chenango Union, August 6, 1896

James B. Miller died at his home on Birdsall street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] Tuesday morning July 23, at quarter past one.  He had been sick not quite two weeks when peritonitis made its appearance and proved fatal.  Mr. Miller was born in South Wales, Erie Co., N.Y., May 7, 1862.  His early education was obtained from a district school and later at Auroa Academy.  After completing is course of study he taught several terms and then accepted a position as teacher in English and mathematics in the school he graduated from and became one of the most successful teachers in that part of the State. After holding the position for some time he resigned to enter the Medical Department of the Buffalo University.  While here his health failed him and the physicians recommended some outdoor employment for an indefinite period.  He immediately found a position as foreman over the force of carpenters on the D.L. &W.R.R., from Buffalo to Binghamton, and was known as one of the ablest men that ever held that position.  When R.W. Baird came from Buffalo to Norwich he brought Mr. Miller as his foreman which position he still held up to the time of his death.  The road has lost a valuable man and his fellow associates feel that they have indeed, lost a loved friend.  January 24, 1894 he married Miss lizzie Gookstetter and a baby boy blest their union.  He leaves a mother, who is in Ai, Ohio; a sister, Mrs. Sophy Ackley, of South Wales, N.Y.; and a brother, Austin S., who has been at his bedside during his illness. These relatives have the sympathy of the community in this dark hour of affliction. The funeral was held from his late residence Sunday at 3 P.m., Rev. L.C. Hayes assisted by Rev. Dr. Moore conducted the services. The Masonic Quartette furnished the music. The house was beautifully decorated with flowers arranged in every conceivable shape and manner.  The Norwich lodge no. 302, F.&A.M. and Canasawacta lodge, no. 205, I.O.O.F. of which he was  a member attended the funeral in a body and preceded the remains to Mt. hope cemetery [Norwich, NY] where they were interred.  Many from out of town attended the services.

Henry Andrews

1834 - 1890

Died, ANDREWS:  In Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY], October 9, Henry Andrews, aged 58 years, a veteran of Co. E, 114th Regiment, N.Y. Vol.  [Oxford Times, Oct. 21, 1890]

On Thursday of last week the people about here were pained to learn of the death of Henry Andrews, which occurred early that morning at his late residence.  Mr. Andrews was a soldier and a member of the 114th Regt. during the Civil war, not entering the service for the sake of a bounty, as he got none, but like many others he left family, home and friends to defend his country out of pure patriotism.  He was dangerously wounded at the battle of Cedar Creek, from which he so far recovered as to enjoy comfortable health for many years after the war, but in these later years the old wound ulcerated and he suffered much for a long time until at last death came to his relief.  He was the soul of honor in all the business relations of life.  In his youth he became converted and united with the Baptist church of Coventry, of which he was deacon at the time of his death.  He leaves a wife, but no children. The funeral took place at the North Afton church on Friday afternoon, Oct. 10.  His pastor Rev. George Boler, preached the sermon and his comrades of the G.A.R. bore his remains to the cemetery near by where they were committed to the dust.
