Knapp - Robinson

October 18, 1899

From the Unadilla Times of last Friday we take the following extract from an extended wedding notice of a fashionable wedding in Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], Wednesday evening, October 18th:

On Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Unadilla, occurred essentially one of the most fashionable weddings ever witnessed in this place, in the marriage of Miss Mary Catharine Robinson of Unadilla, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Robinson with Mr. Walter S. Knapp, the only son of C.A. Knapp of Sioux City, Iowa.  St. Matthew's church was artistically and beautifully adorned with flowers and psalms, and the edifice was filled with guests.  When the organist, Mrs. A.S. Barnes, of Oneonta, ceased playing a quiet little prelude, and the strains of the wedding march swelled through the church the large audience knew the bridal party had arrived. The movement down the center aisle, of the impressive group was watched with admiration.  Mr. Wm. M. Armstrong, of St. louis, and Mr. George Lewis of Binghamton, two of the ushers, advanced. The maid of honor, Mrs. Mary L. Follett, of Sioux City, with stately grace, preceded the four bridesmaids, Miss Nellie S. Myrick, of Binghamton; Miss Anna Eliza Mulford, of Unadilla; Miss Leila Marsalis, of New York city and Miss Ada Lilla Arms, of Binghamton.  The other ushers, Mr. Chas. E. Crothamel, of Scranton and Mr. C. Taylor Leatherbury, of New York, were followed by the bride, leaning on her father's arm.  The bride was gowned in white satin, en train, trimmed with real lace and chiffon. She carried no flowers but held a prayer book. The five pretty young ladies wore gowns, quaint and almost colonial in design, identical in every detail.  The material was pink organdie, the trains being of generous length.  Pink bows graced their hair and in their hands, gloved in pink, each carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, tied with white Ribbons.  The entire Episcopal service was used by the rector of the church, Rev. Dr. Parke. The benediction was pronounced as the happy pair knelt on a white satin pillow, also made from the same material as the wedding gown.

At the palatial home of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson a reception followed, about 75 guests being entertained from 9:30 until 12 o'clock. The parlors and dining room were fragrant with flowers, the color scheme of the wedding, pink and white, being observed.  The occasion was one of rare pleasure. The guests enjoyed immensely the inspection of the great number of costly, beautiful and useful gifts. The gift of the groom to his bride was a star brooch set with diamonds, a most beautiful conceit. The bride's father presented her with a check for $500 and the groom was similarly remembered by his father. Each guest at the reception was given a tiny square of wedding cake neatly encased in a white box with the initials K-R delicately wrought in silver on the top.  Mr. and Mrs. Knapp left the same evening for Sioux City. The bride was one of Unadilla's most popular young ladies. The groom is a stockholder and actively connected with the wholesale hardware establishment of The Knapp & Spencer Co., of which his father is the head, and which is one of the strongest business concerns in the West.

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.

Edmund Farrell

November 1912

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.  Mr. Farrell had gone to Mr. Stratton's Tuesday and was engaged in milking when he complained of a severe pain and suddenly fell over on to the stable floor.  Dr. B.A. Hall was summoned and he was taken to the Farrell home, but the unfortunate man was beyond human aid and remained unconscious till Wednesday morning when death ensued. The deceased has been a resident of South Oxford for the past 25 years, coming from New York to reside with his uncle, Bernard, John and Peter Farrell.  He was a son of the late Richard Farrell, at one time a prominent produce dealer in that city.  He was a well educated man and made friends with all with whom he came in contact.  He was born in New York city in 1861, and is survived by one brother and three sisters, all of that city. William Farrell came to Oxford yesterday morning and returned to New York city with his brother's remains in the evening.  The funeral will be held in that city.

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.

Anson Burlingame

Chenango Union,  March 2, 1870

A dispatch from St. Petersburg tells of the death of Hon. Anson Burlingame, in that city, on Tuesday of last week, after an illness of four days.  His disease was congestion of the lungs.  Mr. Burlingame was born in New Berlin, Chenango County, in 1822, but his youth was spent on the western frontiers at one time acting with surveying parties, and at another participating in the making of Indian treaties, far beyond the confines of civilization.  He laid the foundation of his education at the Branch University of Michigan, but, removing to Massachusetts, he entered Harvard University, where he received a degree in 1846.  He studied law and practiced in Boston.  In 1852 he was elected to the State Senate, and in 1853 he was elected to the State Senate, and in 1853 was a member of the Convention for revising the Constitution of Massachusetts.  He was elected a representative from that State in the Thirty-fourth Congress; was re-elected to the Thirty-fifth, serving as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.  He was also re-elected to the Thirty-sixth Congress, serving on the same committee.  In 1861 he was appointed by President Lincoln Minister to Austria, and subsequently in China, which latter position he resigned in 1867 to accept a diplomatic appointment from China to the European Powers as well as to the United States.  As such Minister his career has given him a world wide reputation.  He had established commercial treaties with the United States Government, with England and France, and was perfecting the same arrangements with the Government of the Russian Empire, when death arrested his brilliant career.  Letter of Condolence were sent by the Emperor and Empress of Russia to Mrs. Burlingame, who was with her husband.

Anson Mead

Chenango Union,March 2, 1870  

Anson Mead, a life-long and respected citizen of this County [Chenango Co., NY], died on Thursday last at his residence in North Norwich, after an illness of a few weeks.  Deceased was the fourth son of the late Gen. Thompson Mead, and was born scarcely a mile from the spot where he passed his youth, manhood and age.  Mr. Mead was quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, respectful to the judgments of others, yet always entertaining decided views and opinions of his own.  Possessed of a kind heart, with charity for all, he led an exemplary Christian life, and his death creates a vacancy in the community and in the church to which he belonged, not easily filled. The home circle especially will feel the full force of the shock, for there his excellent qualities shown brightest--there will grief deepest settle down.  Mr. Mead was twice married and leaves a wife in second widowhood.  He also leaves a son and two daughters, well married and settled in life.  His age was about 65 years.  Of the large family of children reared by Gen. Mead, but two remain, Allen Mead and the wife of Hon. John F. Hubbard Sr., both of this village.

Jesse A. Mathewson

Chenango Union, February 23, 1870

MATHEWSON:  Suddenly, in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Tuesday morning, Feb. 23d, Mr. Jesse A. Mathewson, aged 54 years.

Our citizens were startled about noon on Tuesday by the announcement of the sudden death of Mr. Jesse A. Mathewson, a respected citizen who resided on South Main Street. Mr. Mathewson has enjoyed general good health, but spoke of feeling somewhat unwell on the morning of his death.  He however harnessed his horse and carried his wife to the Free Will Baptist church, which was dedicated yesterday, but told her that he would go home and not attend the service, as he was suffering from a severe pain in his breast. A few minutes later a friend of the family, Mr. Pendleton, drove to Mr. Mathewson's barn for the purpose of putting out his horse while he attended the services at the church. What was his horror to find Mr. M. upon the barn floor, by the side of his cutter, partly resting upon one knee, and his face on the floor.  Mr. Pendleton immediately turned him over and threw snow in his face, thinking that perhaps he might have fainted.  As he did so the eyes opened, and a few gasps for breath told that life was not yet extinct. Assistance was instantly called, and a physician summoned, but long before he arrived Mr. Mathewson was dead. We understand that the physician gave it as his opinion that he died of heart disease.  Mr. Mathewson was one of our most esteemed and beloved citizens.  Always kind and pleasant, his genial presence was welcome alike among old and young; and his generous acts of benevolence endeared him to those who were recipients of his charity, which was not grudgingly distributed.  He had taken an active part in procuring the erection of a church edifice for the Free Will Baptist Society, of this place, although not himself a member.  In his death the Society has lost one of the most zealous supporters. A good man has gone to his rest, whose death will be long and sincerely mourned by all who knew him.  His age was fifty-four years.  He leave a wife, but no children.

Dr. George W. Roberts

Chenango Union, February 23, 1870

ROBERTS:  In Greene [Chenango Co., NY], suddenly, Feb. 10th, George W. Roberts, M.D., aged 59 years.

Dr. George W. Roberts, died suddenly on the 10th inst., while at the bedside of a suffering patient.  Dr. Roberts was an old resident of Greene, and had practiced in his profession for a number of years.  He was much esteemed and respected in the community, as a kind-hearted physician, an upright man, and a consistent Christian.  His age was 59 years.

Chenango American, Greene, NY, February 23, 1870

George W. Roberts, M.D., aged 59 years.  Suddenly has the hand of death seized upon this faithful and kind-hearted physician and friend, and taken him from our midst. Engaged in his professional duties at the bedside of suffering, he was called away with brief summons from the work to which he had devoted nearly thirty years of is life, of ministering to the relief of disease.  Esteemed and respected by this community, and by that wide circle over which his professional labors extended, he will be indeed missed by a multitude of households to which through a long practice the kindly offices of his vocation were extended.  He was a Christian of simple and earnest faith, and with his ministries to the bodies of those to whom his profession called him, he could add the beseeching prayer to the great Physician for their relief. A devoted husband, a most indulgent father, a kind and firm friend, with love to all and malice and uncharitableness for none, his loss is sadly felt by the dear ones who looked up to him in the endearing and tender relations which this language involves.  It is painful to feel that we shall no longer look upon that kind and benevolent face as he went forth amid all weathers by night and by day to the task to which the energies of his life were given.  It is a comfort inexpressible to the sorrowing circle more especially bereaved, to remember those manifold virtues which shone forth in daily life.  Self sacrificing, earnest, unobtrusive, of gentle nature with the spirit of his divine Master in his heart, living daily in communion with god and Heaven, he has now as we firmly trust entered upon his reward.  Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors."

Adelaide E. (Smith) Parker

Chenango Union, February 23, 1870

In Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 4th, Adelaide E., wife of Timothy D. Parker, aged 26 years.  Mrs. Parker was the youngest daughter of Matthew Smith, whose death occurred only the week previous to her own.  She was a member of the same church of which her father and all her father's family were members.  Though her last sickness was protracted and painful, yet her death was eminently peaceful and happy.  Her only child, an infant daughter, was by her dying bed consecrated to God in holy baptism. Mrs. Parker leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her early death.  An unusually large concourse was gathered at her funeral, and followed her remains to the place of interment.

Catharine Kenyon

Chenango Union, February 23, 1870

In Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 10th, after a lingering illness, Mrs. Catharine Kenyon aged 46 years.  Her decline was quite gradual until the last few days of her life, when she rapidly failed and on Thursday morning, the 10th inst., passed calmly and peacefully from earth, and we hope and trust, entered the rest of Heaven.

Alida Brown

Chenango Union, February 23, 1870

In Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], Jan. 30th, of diphtheria, Alida [Brown], youngest daughter of William S. and Catharine H. Brown, aged 12 years, 3 months and 7 days.  Our loved Alida was an amiable, meek and quiet girl, and was an affectional daughter and sister.  she was a member of the Sabbath School, from which she was seldom absent, and was very highly esteemed by all who knew her.  But she was suddenly taken ill and quickly did the Angel of Death speed the summons: "Child, your father calls, come home." She calmly called her dear parents, brothers and sisters, and talked of Jesus and of Heaven, telling them she was not afraid to die; then gave each a parting kiss and a final good-bye, and quietly expired.

Our dear Alida is gone to rest,

Lovely she passed away;

Happy, we trust, among the blest,

Where is an endless day.

Fold the little waxen fingers

Cross the snowy breast;

Sadly close the drooping eyelids--

Our Carrie is at rest.

On the downy coffin pillow

Lay the sunny head;

Lay our little darling gently

In her lonely bed.

Never can a pang of anguish

Pierce that tender breast;

She is freed from all earth's sorrows--

Carrie is at rest.

Oh, 'tis hard to yield our only loved one

To the silent tomb;

But we know the precious flower

Will in heaven bloom.

Gentle angels bore our Carrie

To that land of rest.

laid the treasure softly, gently,

On the Savior's breast;

And He will guard our little darling,

Kindly, tenderly,

For He said of little children,

"Let them come to me."
