Edwin Atwater & Horace Scott

Bainbridge Republican, June 26, 1879

We are pained to announce the death of two of our old and respected citizens - Edwin Atwater, who departed this life on Monday afternoon, last, and Horace Scott, who died suddenly during the extreme heat of Monday afternoon.  Mr. Atwater had been confined to his house for a long time and his demise was not unexpected.  He made full preparations for his funeral and disposed of his property by will.  Mr. Scott sat in his porch and conversed pleasantly with friends but a short time before he died, and although not in his accustomed good health, his death was sudden and unexpected.  Thus the old land marks of our village are one by one passing from our midst.  Mr. Scott's funeral will be held on Friday at 10:30 a.m. from his late residence.
