Mr. PerLee's former residence was at North Norwich where he owned one of the best farms in this county on which he was born and where he always resided until he took up his residence here.

John B. Osgood
Chenango American, Greene, NY, May 30, 1901
John W. Osgood, of Cincinnatus, died at his home in that village, Saturday evening last. Mr. Osgood had been ill about a week, a slight shock having followed his attack about a week before his death from which he never rallied. Mr. Osgood was well known and highly respected in this village, having lived here many years. He removed to Cincinnatus perhaps twenty-five years ago, where his home was until death ended the scene. John W. Osgood was an honest man and fearless in his opinions for the right as he understood them. He was a prominent Mason and belonged to our local lodge and always took a lively interest in its welfare. He was one of our old line of firemen and for many years was a valued member of Ocean Hose. He was a well read man having one of the best private libraries in this section of the state. In politics he was the staunchest of Republicans, without variableness or shadow of change. As a citizen he was always true to the interests of Greene and an upright, honorable man in all the walks of life. It may be said with truth, that his faults were few, his virtues many. Another old time friend has drifted from these earthly scenes, and we mourn with those who mourn. His funeral took place from his late home Tuesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and his brother Masons of Eastern light lodge of this village, committed all that was mortal of him whom they loved and honored to the dust.

Mrs. Edward R. Bolt
Chenango American, Greene, NY, March 19, 1903
After an illness of only four days, the spirit of Mrs. Edward R. Bolt of this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], tool its everlasting flight for the world beyond, at 1 o'clock, on Thursday afternoon of last week. The Sunday before her death she attended church as usual, and one meeting her with her elastic step and fresh youthful countenance, would have thought her years in this mortal life were many, but all that eminent medical skill and loved ones could do, availed nothing, and her lamp of life went out with a suddenness almost startling. the going out of this young wife is, indeed, sad to contemplate. Only thirty-two years were allotted her in this mortal life, when death removed her from a loving young husband and a sweet child, an idolized daughter. Mrs. Bolt was an exemplary, Christian lady, and took high rank among Greene's best womanhood, and her untimely death is not only deeply mourned by her relatives, but by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eben S. Hayes, who, with their remaining children, and the lonely husband, are now traveling the dark valley of sorrow, mourning for the loved one who will never return to them in this mortal life. The funeral which was largely attended by relatives and friends, was held from her late home Sunday at 2 p.m. Rev. D.W. Sweetland, of Coventry, officiating. Burial at Sylvan Lawn [Greene, NY].
