Frances A.L. Jacox passed away Wednesday morning, February 15, 1933, about 9 o'clock, at her home in this village, following an illness of only a few days.  She was born February 1, 1862, at the Jacox homestead in the town of Butternuts [Otsego Co., NY] south of this village on east side, the youngest of four children born to Warren and Sarah Bagg Jacox and practically all her life had been spent in this place.  Her early education was received in the village school here.  She later attended Oswego Normal from which she graduated and for many years thereafter she followed the profession of teaching, a number of which were spent upon Long island.  Miss Jacox was a retiring, unassuming woman, kind of heart, of a cheerful disposition, and a member of the Baptist church here since girlhood.  At the time of her death she was survived by one brother, William Henry (now deceased) and by two sisters, Miss Esther and Miss Louella, all of this place. On account of the critical illness and physical condition of the immediate family of the deceased, no public funeral was held.  After a prayer by Rev. C.H. Skinner at the home of Miss Esther Jacox on Thursday afternoon the body was placed in the vault in Greenwood cemetery to await burial.

Almon A. Jaynes

Died May 7, 1935, Utica, NY

Many friends here were grieved to learn of the passing of Archdeason Almon A. Jaynes, D.D., at his home in Utica [Oneida Co., NY], on Tuesday.  Archdeacon Jaynes conducted the services here in St. Andrew's church on April 7, just previous to his last illness.  On the retirement of Dr. Gifford as rector here, Dr. Jaynes was given an opportunity to take up the work here, but he finally decided he could be of greater service in the mission work of the diocese.  Dr. Jaynes was born in Norwich on Jan. 15, 1877.  He received the degree of Ph. B. from Brown University in 1899, being a classmate and very close friends of Claude B.
