Charles H. Cash
Norwich Sun, May 22, 1911
Charles H. Cash, a resident of Norwich for over 20 years, died at the home of his son-in-law, J.D. Close, No. 16 Silver street, Monday morning at the ripe old age of 86 years. Mr. Cash has been in feeble health for a period of three months, but had been taken to his bed only a few days previous to his death which was due to dropsy. Deceased was born in New Lisbon, Columbia county, coming from there to South Bay, Oneida county. Since then he has resided in Smyrna and for about forty years made his home at Lebanon. Mr. Cash was a mechanic by trade and had worked at the carpenter business for a few years. Besides his wife, Martha J., he leaves two grandchildren, Howard and Mable Close. His son Frank, and one daughter, Mrs. Nettie Close, are both dead.
Mulligan, who, for some time had been residing with a brother about five miles northeast of Sherburne, started for church in the village at an early hour Sunday morning, but as no service was held in St. Malachi's Church, gave himself up to conviviality instead, and when he started for his home about five o'clock in the afternoon, in company with one John Beekman, a man of about his own age, he was more or less intoxicated. The vehicle in which they rode was a democrat wagon, in the back part of which were two bags of apples. The horse belonged to Beekman, and had been owned on the Dr. Lewis farm on the Eaton road for many years. Mulligan and Beekman were seen at Nearing's cider mill, two miles above Sherburne, early in the evening by Bert Cook. Here Beekman left the wagon and entered the mill. He was gone some time, and on coming out found that Mulligan and the team had gone, and he returned to Sherburne. About 8 o'clock, Eugene Tracey, who resides on the Dr. Lewis farm, heard a noise in the lot across the road near his horse barn, and on investigating the cause, made a startling discovery. The body of a man was wedged tightly between the left hind wheel and the box of the wagon. There was an ugly wound upon the forehead from which the blood had flowed freely. The face was turned toward the wheel, the head toward the horse but dragging upon the ground. Life had been extinct for some time as the body was rigid. The pressure of the wheel was across the chest and abdomen and before the body could be removed, Mr. Tracey found it necessary to take off the wheel. Assistance was procured and the body removed to Mr. Tracey's house after the Coroner had been notified. No person was found who had seen Mulligan after he left Beekman at the cider mill, but on a careful search, his hat was found near a watering trough about three quarters of a mile below the Tracey residence, and from that point the wheel had been blocked by his body as showed by the tracks in the road. The supposition is that Mulligan, for some cause left the wagon near the watering trough, and in attempting to remount from the read end of the wagon, rolled over on the bags of apples and into the position between the wheel and wagon body as found. Coroner Fernalld made an examination of the body, and decided that death must have been caused by asphyxiation from the pressure of the wheel upon the chest. He impanelled a jury and adjourned the inquest, until this (Wednesday) morning, when it will be held at Sherburne village. Mulligan was about 63 years of age and leaves seven children, all of them grown to manhood and womanhood. He has been separated form his wife for several years, and has always been addicted to drink.
Mrs. Jennie Vosburg: At her residence in this village Wednesday morning occurred the death of Mrs. Jennie Vosburg, wife of Cornelius Vosburg, aged 75 years. The funeral services will be held from the home of her daughter, Mrs. Edward J. Hicks, No. 11 Hickok avenue [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Dr. M.D. Fuller officiating. Interment will be in Mt. Hope [Norwich, NY].
Susan C. Sherwood: Miss Susan C. Sherwood died at her home, corner of Rexford and Silver street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Nov. 22, 1910, aged 72 years. Funeral Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Rev. M.D. Fuller officiating. Burial in Mt. Hope [Norwich, NY].
Annie (Cash) Close
Norwich Sun, November 23, 1910
Mrs. Annie Close, wife of O.&W. Conductor John G. Close, died early Wednesday morning at the family residence on Silver street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], aged 47 years. Mrs. Close has been ill for the past several months and her death, although a surprise to many, was expected by the immediate friends and relatives who knew her condition. Deceased, although not a member of any church, was a faithful attendant of the Calvary Baptist church. She was the only surviving daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cash, who are left to mourn her loss. Mrs. Close had been a resident of this village for 24 years, during which time she was a loyal friend and neighbor and respected by everyone. Her death will be a severe shock to her many friends and acquaintances who knew her best. Mrs. Close leaves to mourn her loss besides her aged parents, her grief stricken husband, one daughter, Mabel, and one son, Howard, of Syracuse. The funeral will be held from the late home on Silver street Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Rev. Ira Bingham officiating.
Frank H. Cash
Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, May 4, 1892
Conductor Frank H. Cash, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], met with instant death on the Ontario & Western at Bouckville about 6 o'clock, Friday evening. He was in charge of a coal train, running from Norwich to Utica, and at Bouckville he had received orders to take a side track and allow the passenger train leaving Utica at 4:46 p.m. to pass. He was on the engine as the train approached the switch, and, probably with a view to save time, attempted to dismount from the engine and run ahead to the switch. Instead of dropping off at one side, he walked along the gang plank beside the boiler and slid down the pilot--a dangerous way of getting off, but one which is frequently and successfully used. It is supposed the heel of his boot became wedged between the spokes of the pilot to some extent, for as he attempted to jump off and run ahead he fell directly in front of the engine, which passed over him. His remains were badly mangled. They were brought to this place. Conductor Cash was only about 25 years of age. He had been in the employ of the company about six years, and was considered one of its most faithful men. He leaves a father and mother and other relatives, who have the sympathy of every employee of the road and of many friends besides, as the deceased was a favorite wherever known. His funeral was attended Sunday afternoon from the home of his brother-in-law, John Close, in Railroad Street. Rev. E.B. Olmstead officiated and made appropriate remarks. The music was rendered by a quartet composed of Misses Scott and Cary and Messrs. Blackman and Cary. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Noticeable among them were an elaborate floral pillow with the monogram of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and a second pillow from the Republican Club. Messrs. Hoke, Gillespie, McGuire, Batie, Dorman and Root, brethren of the Brotherhood, acted as pall bearers. Burial followed in Mt. Hope [Norwich, NY].
Patrick Mulligan
Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, November 4, 1891
Intelligence was received at The Telegraph office about 9:30 o'clock Sunday evening, that Patrick Mulligan, of Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY], had met a horrible death by falling from a wagon while intoxicated and breaking his neck. Coroner Fernalld was at once notified, and in company with a representative of this paper immediately left for the scene of the accident, and learned the following particulars of the sad affair.Mulligan, who, for some time had been residing with a brother about five miles northeast of Sherburne, started for church in the village at an early hour Sunday morning, but as no service was held in St. Malachi's Church, gave himself up to conviviality instead, and when he started for his home about five o'clock in the afternoon, in company with one John Beekman, a man of about his own age, he was more or less intoxicated.
