Dr. Miles Goodyear
Chenango Union, March 9, 1870
Dr. Miles Goodyear died at his residence in Cortland [Cortland Co., NY], on the 1st inst., after a brief illness, at the advanced age of 76 years. Dr. Goodyear was identified with the history of Cortland from its infancy, having indefatigably labored through youth, manhood and old age, in the practice of the profession in which he had devoted his life. A kind-hearted, genial, Christian gentleman, his honest face, always beaming with good humor, ever welcome to the homes of all, the worthy Doctor will be missed by those among whom he has moved for so many years; while the announcement of his death will cause a pang of sorrow in the hearts of all who knew him, and call forth a blessing upon the memory of the good old man who has gone to his rest.

Edmund Farrell of South Oxford [Chenango Co., NY[ while engaged in work for Edward L. Stratton, was attacked with cerebral hemorrhage Tuesday morning, which resulted in his death the following morning.

Jessie (Stone) Jacobs
1875 - 1912
At her home in South Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], Mrs. Jesse Jacobs passed out of life early Saturday morning. She had been ill for several months and death came to her quietly, like a benediction appropriately given after many years of happy service in the world. Mrs. Jacobs was Jessie Stone, the daughter of Charles M. and Ada Smith Stone, and she was born in the eastern part of the town August 4, 1875. On September 8, 1897, she was united in marriage with Jesse Jacobs, the present town supervisor, and since then her residence has been at South Oxford, where she was held in high esteem by every one and had hosts of friends, who deeply sympathize with the family. For 20 years she was a consistent member of the Baptist church in this village. Expressions that are commonly used in paying tribute to the departed have no meaning in describing the worth of Mrs. Jacobs, whose epitaph is engrossed today with indelible words of love on the heart of every one who came frequently in contact with her. Her nature was gentle, kind and generous, and her life was an inspiration to all within its beautiful influence and an example that may well be emulated. Funeral services were conducted at the home Monday morning at 11 o'clock by the Rev. R.A. Gates. So amid lovely flowers and with a peaceful smile upon her face, the beloved one was laid to rest in the plot at Riverview cemetery [Oxford, NY]. Mrs. Jacobs is survived by her husband, her parents, one brother and sister, C. Linn Stone and Mrs. Irving McNitt.
