Betsey Kingsley
DeRuyter Gleaner, October 8, 1914
After years of patient suffering, Miss Betsey Kingsley, daughter of Palmer and Sunah Kingsley, departed this life to be with the loved ones gone before, where pain and sorrow are unknown. Miss Kingsley was the oldest of four children, all of whom had preceded her to the great beyond. After the death of her father and mother, whom she tenderly cared for, she made her home with a lonely sister, Mrs. John Dermott, who it will be remembered died May 30. Miss Kingsley died Sept. 21, aged 80 years, 4 months and 14 days. She will long be remembered as a lady of a quiet disposition and Christian character, highly respected and loved by her friends and neighbors. Her remains were laid at rest in the family lot at Seventh Day Hollow by the side of her father to await the resurrection of the just.
John Baldwin
Cortland Evening Standard, October 23, 1902
Lincklaen [Chenango Co., NY]: John Baldwin dropped dead yesterday morning in the home of his son Adelbert. He had just finished doing his chores and had washed for breakfast and was relating some even to his son, but never finished it. He was without doubt the best mechanic anywhere in this part of the state. A hard working, honest, upright man, has been called to his rest. His wife, Mrs. Alzina Stanton Baldwin, died of the measles some ten years ago, and only one child, a son, with a large circle of friends mourn his loss.
Ivan Nichols
Sidney Enterprise, January 7, 1920
Ivan Nichols, eight year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Orton R. Nichols, of Walton [Delaware Co., NY] was instantly killed by an automobile at three o'clock Monday afternoon. The little fellow was riding on his sled down a hill on Prospect Ave. when he ran directly into the Ford touring car driven by Wesley Brundage of Rock Royal, occupied also by Mrs. Brundage. [The vehicle was] proceeding slowly, it was stopped within its own length and Mr. and Mrs. Brundage alighted and pulled the child from beneath the car. The child was carried to a neighbor's house and Dr. Morrow summoned. On his arrival the physician found that the child had suffered a fractured skull and had died instantly. Coroner Woods of Delhi was notified of the accident and instructed Dr. Morrow to hold the Brundages. Although there were no witnesses to the accident, the coroner upon his arrival at the scene did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest and accepted the straightforward account of the tragedy given by Mr. and Mrs. Brundage. The accident is a very pathetic one, as at the time it occurred, Mr. Brundage was carrying in his car a casket for his own little son, Hector, aged one and one-half, who passed away Sunday evening following a long period of delicate health. He had made the funeral arrangements with a Walton undertaker and was returning to his Rock Royal home when the tragedy took place. The funeral of Ivan Nichols was held at his home in Walton Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. The Brundage child was buried Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock.
