Andrew Jackson Boyce
Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 29, 1890
Andrew Jackson Boyce, who died at his home in Nineveh, N.Y. [Broome Co., NY], April 27, 1890, of heart trouble, was born in Mt. Upton [Chenanogj Co., NY], April 18, 1834. He was the son of the late Russell Boyce, of Mt. Upton, being the eighth of a family of twelve children, five of whom survive. At an early age he showed signs of mechanical genius and at eighteen came to Nineveh to work at blacksmithing for his brother Edwin, then for J.W. Hobbs, and for the past twenty-two years has worked at fancy carriage ironing for Hobbs Bros., the well known carriage builders of that place. He was a painstaking industrious mechanic, and few men in his line could accomplish so difficult tasks in forging iron. In 1871, he married Julia E. Olendorf, who survives him. He had built a beautiful house, and was very pleasantly situated. His funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends and acquaintances, at his home, April 29th, and his remains deposited in Nineveh cemetery.
Flora Mathewson
Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 29, 1890
The friends and neighbors of Flora, wife of William Mathewson, were grieved to learn of her death, which occurred at their home, about one mile above King Settlement, and in the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY] on Sunday morning, May 18, 1890. For a week she had been confined to her bed, and bore with true womanly resignation the intense suffering, when death at last came to her relief. Sad, indeed, is the stricken and desolate home, the bereaved husband and two little ones, (a boy of three and an infant daughter only one week old) who are left to mourn her loss. With what anxious and solicitous love she had looked forward to the advent of this tiny jewel. But alas! the anticipation was soon to be dispelled. In the beautiful and impressive sermon preached by the officiating clergyman, Rev. L.C. Hayes, how forcibly and with lucidness did he illustrate the death of this beloved wife and mother, by likening it to that of Rachel, who with Jacob had prayed and waited patiently years for the consummation of their dearest hopes, and when at last Benjamin was laid in Jacob's arms, Rachel rendered up her life in return. In her home the deceased had unfolded those traits of character which made her affable, sympathetic and loving. "She always made home happy." What better tribute can be offered to the memory of the loved and lost? Eloquence with her loftiest eulogy, poesy with her most thrilling dirge, could afford nothing so sweet, so touching, so suggestive of the virtues of the dead, as those simple works: "She always made home happy." In her death the husband, children, neighbors and friends have suffered and irreparable loss. Let us hope that "Our loss is her gain."
