Abigail Phinney, Died Dec. 11, 1870, Bainbridge, NY: In Bainbridge, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], Dec. 11th, 1870, of enlargement of the heart, Mrs. Abigail Phinney, in the 63d year of her age.
Death has snatched from our family circle, a mother. Though our hearts are sad, and we weep often, yet we mourn not as those who have no hope, for we are assured that our loved one, though torn from the embrace of those she loved on earth, now reclines upon the bosom of her Father. She was converted to God in the year 1819, under the labors of Rev. Mr. Brown, and united with the M.E. church. She was converted from the vanity and pleasures of this fallen world, and remained thus to the last. For some months previous to her death she was in feeble health, yet she was resigned when the time was approaching for her to depart this life. She was very quiet and peaceful, and though she had earthly attractions, such as a husband and four children, yet her Heavenly attractions were so much greater that she willingly left all in the care of an all wise and unerring Providence, and fell asleep in Jesus. May Heavenly benedictions rest on the bereaved family through life, and in death may they triumph over all and meet their mother in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Miss McCarthy, Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, February 7, 1880: On Wednesday night a young lady named McCarthy, of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY], aged 22 years, strayed from her home, while suffering mental aberration. A terrible storm was prevailing at the time and her absence was soon discovered. Alarm was at once given and the people turned out en-masse to search for her, but without success, until Thursday morning when her brother-in-law, a Mr. Kiley, while searching along the bank of the Chenango river, near its junction with the Susquehanna, discovered her body frozen in the ice, about three rods from the shore. The water was not more than three feet deep where she was found, which would indicate that she stood in the water until she sank down exhausted, frozen to death. Her body was removed to the residence of her father where a coroner's inquest was held. The tracks found in the snow along the bank of the river showed that she was alone and went into the water with the design of taking her life. It is a very sad saga.
