In Greene, Chenango Co., N.Y., June 213d, 1862, Miss Sally Augusta Kinsman, only daughter, of David and Sally Kinsman, aged 19 years, 4 months.

Possessing a warm, affectionate disposition, she won the kindest regards of all who knew her.  If there are any in this world who have no enemies, Augusta was one of that number.  Her illness commenced in March last, and although strong hopes of her recovery were entertained, she grew slowly worse, from day to day, until the 22d ult., when it was too evident to all her sorrowing friends that it was her last Sabbath on earth, and the following morning when the sun was chasing away the darkness, her spirit went up to greet the splendors of a more glorious dawn.  The memory of her life and deeds is a far better tribute to her memory than the pen can express.  Her funeral was attended on the 24th inst., in the Baptist meeting house, on Page Brook.  The services were conducted by the writer, assisted by the pastor of the Society, Rev. A.N. Bennett.
"I sit and think, when the sunset's gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore.
I shall one day stand by the water cold,
And list for the sound of the boatman's oar.
I shall watch for the gleam of flapping sail,
I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand.
I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale,
To the better shore of the spirit land;
I shall know the loved who have gone before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be,
When over the River, the peaceful river,
The Angel of Death shall carry me!"

Letter from Samuel Haynes - Civil War Soldier - June 1862

Letter from Samuel Haynes - Civil War Soldier
Chenango American, July 3, 1862

Gimball's Plantation
James Island, S.C., June 13 '62

I wrote a few lines to you while we were at Summerville on Stono Inlet; since then things have been more war like in appearance and reality too, than I have ever seen them before.  Last Monday afternoon we left Stono, and came here.  The same night about ten o'clock, Co. I, with Co. H, were sent out about a mile toward the "rebs" to strengthen the picket.  We lay all night on our arms, and about once in fifteen minutes a shell from the secesh batteries would "whew" over our heads and burst somewhere, but without injuring anyone.  You may imagine that we slept soundly that night, "In a great big horn."  The same thing was kept up nearly all the next day with an occasional reply from the gunboats.  About five, PM, we were attacked by a regiment of Georgia Tigers, who came tearing through the woods swinging their bats and yelling like all fury.

Lieut. Howard was in command of Co. H and I was in command of Co. I, Capt. Hillis being absent with about 20 men skirmishing.  We got our companies in position close to the edge of the woods, and all kneeling down, were supported by a company of the 17th N.Y. and one of the 97th Pa.  The enemy charged at us, but we fired so hot and fast that they retreated, but came back again and this time faster and more -?- than ever.  By this time the Capt. had joined us with the men he had out, and the second time we drove them back.  During the second attack we were reinforced by the companies of the 97th Pa, and a battery of Artillery took a position about half mile in the rear of us. They threw shot and shell over our heads into the woods in front of us, and the sound of those shot and shell was the best music I ever heard, for many of our muskets were so hot and dirty that the men couldn't load them.  The "rebs" took themselves off, all that could, but they left about 50 men, dead and dying in the woods.

After the skirmish, we were relieved by two fresh companies, and went into camp. Col. Weish was in good spirits, and Gen. Wright complimented "these two companies of the field for their gallant behavior"; in fact they were highly praised on all sides, but the best of all is that not a man of our company was hurt.  One man of Co. H was killed; he was shot through the lungs.  Night before last we went out on picket again and came in yesterday afternoon, but all was comparatively quiet.  The rebels amused themselves last night by throwing shell at our camp, and the boys would scamper for the intrenchments in a hurry when they heard one coming.

We are so near Charleston and the railroad, that we can hear the cars very plainly, and from a place about a mile from our camp Fort Sumpter can be seen.  I can not write any more now for I am interrupted every two minutes.

"Death of Lieutenant Samuel Haynes - Lieutenant Samuel Haynes, a brother-in-law of Messrs Seth and Job Wetmore, of this borough, who was well known and esteemed by many civil war veterans in this county, died Friday morning at his home in Oil City of cancer, aged 67 years. He had lived in that city since 1870 and was a trusted Division Supervisor of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Railroad Company. He enlisted here in 1861 in Co I, 45th Volunteers. He was Orderly Sergeant in that company, and the next year was made Lieutenant of Company G in the same regiment. As an officer, and later as Supervisor, he was most successful, as well as popular, owing to the effective combination in his character of geniality and firmness, while his fine appearance physically gave him added distinction as an officer. His death is regretted keenly here by his relatives and veteran comrades. The Oil City Derrick says: 'The deceased was one of the most upright men of this city, enjoying the confidence and esteem of his fellow men to a remarkable extent. He was a Republican in politics, and although not seeking office was honored with several responsible elective positions, among them the presidency of the public schools of the city. He was a member of the Christ Episcopal Church and was a Mason. Mr Haynes is survived by his wife and two daughters."

Chenango American, July 10, 1862

Seth Williston, the pioneer preacher of Western New York.  In 1818 he was licensed to preach the gospel, by the Associated Presbytery, at Durham, N.Y., and ordained by the Union Association at Greene, N.Y., which church he supplied for many years.  In 1829 he accepted an invitation to the 2d Church of Coventry where he has labored ever since.  The Rev. Father Hoyt, was one of the honorable and ancient landmarks in this part of the State--where his ministry of 44 years has been entirely spent.  His labors have been greatly blessed of God, to the building up of his kingdom.  He assisted in the formation of the Presbytery of Chenango, of which he has been long the oldest settled Pastor, and was the first moderator of the Synod of Susquehanna, held at Franklin, Del. Co., N.Y., Oct. 20th, 1853.  Few men have been so universally respected, and beloved. He died as he had lived in the active functions of the sacred office--though for the past few months laid aside from public ministrations by the increasing signs of dissolution. He leaves an attached people who cherish his memory.  It was a source of joy to him to be spared to witness the ingathering of a rich harvest of souls, the fruits of the spirits outpouring upon the church during the winter months just past, when over sixty were brought into the church on profession of their faith in Christ.  He leaves the church to charge of his colleague, Rev. I.B. Hopwood, late of Union Theological Seminary, New York.  he died in full faith of the doctrines he had so earnestly preached, and went down into the valley of the shadow of death, leaning on the Saviour whom he had trusted for over fifty years.  He was a man of peace, and his end was peace.  May those who knew him, profit by his bright example of Christian gentleness and unassuming goodness.

Trehanon taught science and mathematics in the Norwich, N.Y. Junior high school before enlisting as a cadet.  He entered the U.S. Flying service February 12 last.

News of the fatal crash in which Trehanon lost his life was stunning to his friends here and former associates in the high school.  A member of the Norwich junior high school faculty for a period of two and a half years, Trehanon obtained a leave of absence which was granted by the board of education to permit him to enter the service of his country.  He attended Yonkers and Ossining high schools and was graduated in 1938 by the Albany State Teachers college, majoring in mathematics and the sciences.  Outstanding in his college career, he was a star in basketball.  Awarded the Wheelock scholarship he was also president of the interfraternity Council at Albany State.  He also served as president of Gamma Chapter of Kappa Delta Rho, national fraternity.  In high school he was a member of the National Honor Society.  At Albany State he also served as student director of NYA.  During his residence in this city, Trehanon assisted in the basketball coaching duties at Norwich high school, directing the junior varsity team one year.  He played basketball as a member of the University Club team and also with the Clayton Club five.  Details of the fatal crash were missing from the first news dispatches to reach this city.  In a recent letter to Supt. Gilbert R. Lyon here Trehanon told of his duties, the hard work and training involved and of his enthusiasm for aviation. He is survived by his mother and a sister, residing in Albany.
