Frank H. Smith
Chenango Union, January 21, 1876
In Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 17th, of small pox, Mr. Frank H. Smith, aged 22 years, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY]. The announcement of the death of young Smith, which was received by his father, C.A. Smith, Esq., of this place, on Monday evening last, caused a feeling of sadness among the relatives and friends of the deceased. He will be remembered as a former resident of this village, and a genial companion and warm-hearted friend. In the summer of 1874 he married Miss Jennie Milner, of this village, and soon afterwards removed to Ohio. At the time of his death he was employed in a clothing house in Cincinnati. His friends have received no particulars of his death, with the exception of the dispatch received on Monday evening from Mr Thomas G. Harron, of Cincinnati. His brother, John Smith, left on Tuesday morning, and will accompany the stricken widow to the home at her friends in this village.
Jacob Schorn
Chenango Union, January 21, 1876
In St. Paul, Minn, Jan. 10th, of paralysis of the brain, Mr. Jacob Schorn, son of S. Joseph Schorn, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] aged 27 years. Deceased will be remembered by a large circle of acquaintances in this vicinity as an estimable young man, and his early death will be sincerely mourned. The St. Paul Dispatch of the 10th inst., makes the following mention of his death:
"Jacob Schorn, a tobacconist at No. 74 West Third Street, died this morning of paralysis of the brain. Mr. B. was born in Cologne, Prussia; came to this country in 1857, became a citizen of St. Paul in 1868. Married a daughter of J.S. Phillsbrook, Esq. of Minneapolis. Has been sick for nine weeks and leaves a wife and three children. Funeral tomorrow and the body taken to Minneapolis. Mr. Schorn was a good man, a member of the German Society amiable in the business walks of life, a kind friend and a devoted husband."
If life is only a preparation for death, and that preparation consists in living uprightly, and leaving behind an unspotted character, then the subject of this memoir did not live in vain. Ira P. Rich was born in Worcester county, Massachusetts, February 9, 1810. When he was only a year old, his parents moved to South New Berlin, in this County, and purchased the farm south of Ambler's Settlement. Here his father lived and died, and here he grew up from childhood, and passed his entire life. In 1841 he married Fannie F. Freeman, of Cooperstown, Otsego County. Five children were the fruit of this union, two sons and three daughters. Two of the daughters died before the age of womanhood; his wife died in 1864; and the remaining three children - Palmer C., Ransom and Angelia E., still live together in possession of and occupying the homestead their grandfather purchased over sixty years ago. Thurs far nothing has separated the family but death.
Mr. Rich was highly esteemed in the community, as a Christian, upright and benevolent man. He was particularly a friend to the poor, and pecuniary assistance from him was never sought in vain. As a public officer, he had the confidence of all who knew him. All objects of public interest received his attention and support. He met nothing with brawling opposition, but everything like ostentation and parade he shunned with instinctive abhorrence. All his acts had the charm of simplicity, and his words the merit of truth. He will ever be remembered by his fellow townsmen as a men who was always faithful to his responsibilities, and true to his public trusts. He was a man of but few words, but modest and unassuming in all his actions and bearings, yet he imposed no restraint on the sociality of those about him; on the contrary, he entered into it with genial humor and quiet enjoyment, and his native goodness of heart expressed itself in the few words he spoke.
His health has gradually failed for the past year, yet he continued to go about the farm as usual, until the 25th of November; from that time he was obliged to keep the house, his chair, and last his bed; and although he was encouraged some by his physician, he well knew that the final hour was about to come, and he waited with calm, Christian resignation, and passed peacefully away, December 28th. In his death his family have suffered an irreparable loss, and the community a man of sterling worth; but believing as we do in the immortality of the soul, and justice meted out to us in another world, we feel that a good man has gone to his reward, and that his spirit is now where a tear is never shed and a sigh never heard.
