Susan A. Evans

Bainbridge Republican, April 28, 1910

The death of Mrs. Susan A. Evans last Sunday, the 17th inst., removes from this locality one of Sidney's oldest residents, who resided here practically all her life and was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends as a worthy and kindly Christian lady. The farm owned by the family for many years is located about one mile at East End for the Corporation and has been willed to the children of the late Dr. Coe, who died in California.  Mrs. Evan's husband, the late Wallace Evans, died in Sidney 24 years ago.  Funeral services were held at the house last Tuesday afternoon, followed by interment in Prospect Hill cemetery [Sidney, Delaware Co., NY] -- Sidney Record

 

The home of Mrs. Evans is entirely broken up as will be seen by the following notice:  An auction sale of goods and chattels of the late Mrs. Susan A. Evans, who died recently, was held at her late residence near Sidney on Saturday last. The sale included a considerable amount of live stock, framing implements, household goods, etc. The sale was made by order of Mr.  H.W. Underhill, agent for the heirs at law of Mrs. Evans.

Garret Lucas, Jr.

Anti-Masonic Telegraph, February 8, 1932

Hydrophobia:  Died At Franklin Furnace [Franklin Co., PA], on the 28th December, of Hydrophobia, Garret Lucas, Jr. in the 16th year of his age, deeply lamented by all his friends and acquaintances.  The deceased was bitten on the hand by a rabid fox on the 30th of October last, the animal was not known at that time to be mad, and no danger being apprehended, the wound was permitted to heal, and he suffered no inconvenience until the 26th ult. when symptoms of Hydrophobia made their appearance.  Medical aid was called in on the 27th, until which time he and his relatives remained insensible of the nature of his disease or the perilousness of his situation.  The disease having already made rapid advances, his case was pronounced hopeless by his physician.  The symptoms continued to increase rapidly and steadily until about 12 o'clock, on the 28th ult. when his system sank under the pressure of mystery, nearly two months after he received the wound.  This is not the only case of Hydrophobia that has occurred in this country, produced by the same cause, viz. a bite of a pet fox, and this is another melancholy proof that ought to be sufficient to convince individuals of the danger and folly of attempting to domesticate these very vicious and entirely useless animals.  It is to be hoped the public will profit by the very lamentable cases that have occurred and make use of every precaution to prevent a possible recurrence of that dreadful and uncontrollable malady that still remains almost complete master of medical skill--Chambersburg (Pa.) Republican

William Arnold

Northern Christian Advocate, January 6, 1847

Wm. Arnold died in Norwich, Chenango Co. N.Y., Nov. 19, 1846, aged 61 years.  Brother Arnold for 41 years, and by his upright conduct as a citizen and neighbor, had secured, and for many years enjoyed, the high esteem of the community.  For the last four years of his life, he was much afflicted with disease, though he was confined to his house only one week previous to his death.  three years ago the present winter he became experimentally pious, and since that time has added the character of a consistent Christian to the excellences he formerly possessed.  His sufferings were endured without a murmur, and death was met without dread.  That love which casteth out fear, was shed abroad in his heart and assured him of the presence of the great shepherd whose rod and staff support in the valley of the shadow of death. A wife and ten children, all now grown to manhood, are left to lament their loss; they, however, mourn not as those who have no hope.    L.L. Knox
