Coates and Miss Hattie Glazier, died at the residence of Mr. Coates, corner of Academy and Grove streets [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], Friday morning, in the 67th year of her age.  Mrs. Glazier was a great sufferer with asthma, so much so that she was unable to leave her home.  She was an admirable woman, and the many who knew her in life mourn her loss, and their true sympathy is extended to the bereaved children.  Friday evening the near friends and relatives here gathered at her late home where a short service was conducted by Rev.s Matteson and Allen.  Saturday morning the remains were taken to Plymouth, Chenango county, Mrs. Glazier's native place, for burial beside her husband, who died at colliers about three years ago.   Oneonta Local.  Deceased was the widow of Van Ness Glazier, formerly a well known resident of Norwich and Oxford [Chenango Co., NY].  Funeral services were held at the residence of George P.

James Graves

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY]:  Death has come again to our valley, and James Graves, of Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY], has joined the great "silent majority."  He died Friday afternoon, and his funeral was attended from the residence of his uncle, George Graves, of Mt. Upton, where he died, on Sunday, May 8th.  "Jimmy" had many friends in this community, where he was a universal favorite, his misfortune--he was a cripple from infancy--having no power to subdue his bright and joyous nature.  Rev. Weeks and Nobbs, the village pastors, officiated at the funeral, and he was laid by the side of his kindred in the village cemetery.

Susan Winsor Smith

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

On May 7th all that was mortal of Susan Winsor Smith, of Unadilla [Chenango Co., NY], was followed to the last resting place by a large concourse of relatives and friends, who could not forget her last charge:  "Shed no tears for me when I am gone.  Think how sweet it will be to me to rest."  Those who witnessed her intense and protracted sufferings alone can know the significance of these words. A lovely, devoted Christian woman has gone to her reward.

Pomona Johnson

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

Afton [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mrs. Mary Cooke, the lady that we mentioned in our last as being very sick with pneumonia, is still quite low, but has passed a crisis, and her family and friends are encouraged to believe that she will fully recover.  Her daughter Julia, who has also been very sick away from home, is improving slowly.  Her mother, Mrs. A. Pomona Johnson, who had been sick and partially recovered, had a relapse a few days since and died early last week Thursday morning. This lady, who was nearly 80 years of age, was a sister of the late Hon Daniel S. Dickinson, and among quite a large family of sons, she was the only daughter that lived to grow up to womanhood. Although not the youngest, yet she was the last to put on immortality.  Her body was taken to Guilford, where her funeral was held in the Episcopal church.  This church was the one with which she united many years ago, and of which she was a consistent member. After the services her body was taken to Guilford Centre and interred by the side of her husband, Alpheus Johnson, who died over forty years ago.
