Eccleston - Latham
Chenango Telegraph, September 23, 1875
ECCLESTON - LATHAM: At the home of the bride, in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], September 15th, by Rev. W.J. Judd, assisted by Rev. J.S. Eckman, Mr. Hosea B. Eccleston to Miss Laura E. Latham, all of Norwich.
In its appropriate place in today's Telegraph will be found the marriage notice of two of our well known citizens. Of course we refer to that of Hosea B. Eccleston, Esq., and Miss Laura E. Latham. The wedding services took place at the residence of the bride in this village on Thursday afternoon last, attended by a few friends, and we are assured it was a pleasant and enjoyable affair. The knot was quickly tied by Revs. Judd and Eckman, and after an hour's society the happy could left on the evening train for Niagara Falls. Mr. E. has been one of the producing classes in our town, and we are glad to know that his success in life has been such as to rank him among our solid men. The bride is the daughter of the late John Latham, Esq., formerly of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. Upon the election to the office of County Clerk he moved to this village, where he continued to reside until taken hence. The daughter possesses the merits of the father and is one of the worthy few who always seeks other's good rather than their own. Both Mr. and Mrs. E. enjoy to a great extent the confidence and respect of our community, and all will unite with the Telegraph in good wishes for their continued prosperity and happiness.
Mr. & Mrs. S.W. Smith
15th Wedding Anniversary
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, September 23, 1875
North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: How men have mistaken their duties and callings in this life especially, in marrying, if the recommendations, and Scripture quotations or rather misquotations, we heard yesterday and last evening be true. A goodly company gathered at the fifteenth Anniversary of the wedding life of Mr. and Mrs. S.W. Smith at their residence in North Norwich, Sept. 16th. There we heard some elderly men, and even women, express the opinion that those who led a life of celibacy were the happiest people. Well, we didn't just agree with them, that's all. Do you? And we thought the couple, whose anniversary we attended were of our opinion, especially, when friends come flocking in from your own village and vicinity, and friends from their home village, and from the "regions beyond," gathered, bringing their gifts, not perhaps of gold and frankincense, and myrrh, but gifts substantial, gifts betokening the kind regards of the donors, until anniversary gifts of nearly sixty dollars were left to cheer and make light hearts for the happy recipients. Such tokens of friendship are helps over the hard place of life showing more of light than shade, more of substance than shadow, more of love than hate, more of beauty and brightness than unloveliness and darkness in these scenes of our mortal life. Again, another couple of our opinion, for in the midst of this anniversary scene, they thought it not amiss to pligth their faith each to the other in holy wedlock. Mr. Geo. B. Crandall and Miss Laura I. Russell of your village, here at the festive scene to commemorate fifteen years of the wedding life of the sister of the bridegroom, took upon themselves the vows to love, cherish, and honor each other, until death should break up the happy union. The services of the marriage over, we sat down to a table loaded with the good things of the season and all went merry as a marriage bell, until the "wee small hours of the morning." We opine that the majority of the company present would vote with us on this marrying question. Were all mankind of the opinion of the few, what a world of old bachelors and old maids and tabby cats and poodle dogs.
CRANDALL - RUSSELL: At the residence of S.W. Smith in North Norwich, September 16th, by Rev. B.B. Carruth, Mr. George B. Crandall, to Miss L. Isabellea Russell, both of Norwich.
Thaddeus S. Monroe
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, September 23, 1875
Mr. Thaddeus S. Monroe of Whitney's Point [Broome Co., NY], employed as a book keeper by the firm Snook, Collins & Co. of that place, and formerly a clerk at the Dwight House, went to the Cafferty House on Saturday last and engaged a room, telling the porter who showed him to the apartment, which was on the third floor, not to call him until Monday. Mr. Monroe, being acquainted with Mr. L.C. Cafferty, the manager, and having called at the house on the day before, and being somewhat under the influence of liquor, as it is reported he had been for several days past, did not register his name, and his request not to be called till Monday, exerted no surprise. Entering in this informal manner, little was thought about him, and those who knew of his taking the room supposed that he went away the next morning. Yesterday morning, however, the night clerk, Mr. Herbert E. Stone, went to the room to open it for a guest of the house, when the door was found locked, with the key inside. The door was forced open when the party were shocked by the sight of Mr. Monroe's dead body lying in the bed, where it had evidently been since Saturday afternoon. His head lay on the edge of the bed, with a slop bucket directly under. A two ounce vial labeled laudanum lay on the floor under a bureau, where ha had thrown it, nearly emptied, and the room was filled with the odor of the drug. A note was found in the slop bucket, addressed to the manager of the hotel, with the words, "I'm tired of life. If I owe you anything, E.S. will make it all right." Mr. Monroe was about thirty-three years of age and leaves a wife and three children, now residing at Whitney's Point. He was highly esteemed by a large circle of acquaintances to whom such a terrible act was, of course, wholly unexpected. He was one of the first to enlist in the late was and served for two years with honor. Times, Sept. 21.
