Milo McCarty

1833 - 1900

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Milo McCarty died at his home on Locust street on Thursday morning, aged 67.  His health had been failing for several years and more rapidly during the past 12 months, but death came with only a few hours' warning.  Asthma had caused him much suffering, but paralysis was the immediate cause of death.  Mr. McCarty was born February 2, 1833, in the town of Sherburne [Chenango Co., NY], but when he was a child the family moved to Wood's Corners, so that practically his whole life had been spent in the town of Norwich.  He attended the district school and started in life as a farm hand with Cyrus Brown at Plasterville.  He afterwards worked at wagon making and later was employed for a number of years in the Maydole hammer works until his health failed and he sought outdoor employment.  His long residence gave him a wide acquaintance and he made many friends among whom he was highly esteemed.  He was a member of the Broad Street M.E. Church.  In November, 1854, Mr. McCarty married Catherine Farrell, who survives him, together with one son, Isaac F. McCarty, of New York city and one daughter, Mrs. Katie Woodard, of this village.  One sister, Mrs. Albert Smith, also survives, residing in Towanda, Pa.  Funeral services will be held from his late home at 2 o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) Afternoon, Rev. Wilson Treible officiating.  Interment in Mount Hope [Norwich, NY].

Norwich Sun, December 1, 1904

Mrs. Catherine McCarty, widow of Milo McCarty, died at her home No. 19 Locust street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], early Thursday morning, Dec. 1, aged 68 years.  The immediate cause of death was heart disease.  Although the deceased had not been in the best of health for some time past, she had however, been able to be about the house as usual until Wednesday.  Mrs. McCarty was born in this county and spent practically all of her life in Norwich.  Her husband died about four years ago.  She was a woman of quiet demeanor and possessed of many fine qualities which endeared her to all with whom she came in contact.  Mrs. McCarty was a consistent member of the Broad Street M.E. church and as long as her health permitted was an active worker in the work of the church.  Deceased is survived by one son and one daughter, Isaac F. McCarty of Brooklyn and Mrs. Wallace Woodard of this place; also a nephew, Rev. W. S. Crandall of Scranton and a niece, Mrs. Roselbert Belden of Norwich.
