Hiram Adelbert Sergent
Died February 21, 1939, New Berlin, NY
Mrs. Addie Camp received the sad news of the death of her brother, Hiram Sergent, last week, and Walter and Lula Camp attended the funeral services of their uncle Friday afternoon. Hiram Adelbert Sergent, the older of the two children of the late Samuel and Emily Baird Sergent, passed away last Tuesday night, February 21, 1939, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harry Bagg, near New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY]. Death came very suddenly, following a heart attack which he suffered that night after retiring. He was born August 30, 1861, on the Scribner farm near the Scribner cemetery south of New Berlin, the farm first owned by his great-grandfather, Daniel Scribner, the first white settler in the town of New Berlin. When six years of age his father purchased the farm now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Claude Harrington, and after building the house, the family moved there. Twelve years later, they purchased the old Baird homestead, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Fuller and on that farm which became very dear to him, he lived until he retired several years ago and moved to South New Berlin where he purchased the home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Parker on West street. After the death of his dear wife and helpmate, Mrs. Marjorie Morrell Sergent, he lived alone as long as health permitted. Then he went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Emma Bagg where he had spent most of his remaining days. Funeral services were held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bagg Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock with Rev. C.H. Skinner officiating. The beautiful floral pieces spoke of the love held for him by relatives and friends alike. Relatives attending the services from out of town were present from Akron, N.Y., Franklin, West Oneonta, Preston, North Norwich, and Norwich. The body was placed in the Evergreen cemetery vault to await burial in the family plot next spring. Those left to mourn his passing are two daughters, Mrs. Eugene Brooks of North Norwich and Mrs. Harry Bagg of New Berlin; four granddaughters, Miss Gladys Almstedt, North Norwich, Mrs. Richard Rozelle, Akron, N.Y., Miss Doris Almstedt, Franklin, and Miss Viola Sickler, Norwich; one sister, Mrs. Addie Camp, and one nephew and niece, Walter and Lula Camp of this place and ten cousins.

Written on the Death of Harry White
Died August 27, 1887, Norwich, NY
Harry, thou hast left us,
For a brighter home above,
While our hearts are torn and bleeding
For the darling that we loved.
When the bud was opening
The angels plucked it from our hands;
May they watch and keep it
Till we reach that brighter land.
Oh, my papa and dear mamma,
I shall always watch for thee,
And when this troubled life is o'er
May you cross the peaceful sea.
Dearest brother, Harry has left us,
We have laid him in the tomb,
But we hope that you will meet him
In the bright and heavenly home.
Norwich, Sept. 1887, A.H.W.
