Orlie Purdy, The Weekly Press, Afton, NY, July 20, 1880: Tuesday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, as Dr. J.L. Purdy, of Smithville [Chenango Co., NY], was returning home from a professional visit on what is called the "ridge road," accompanied by his little son, Orlie, aged about seven years, and as they were crossing the Hazelton bridge the horse (which was blind) was frightened by a passing bird which struck him on the ear, causing him to jump from the bridge, throwing the carriage and occupants clear over him. Little Orlie struck on the top of is head on the stones in the bottom of the creek, a distance of about twelve feet, crushing the whole top of his skull, and his father struck on top of him. He was immediately picked up and carried to the nearest house, where he lived until eleven o'clock the same evening. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Wood, of Greene, were called, but could do nothing for him. His father sustained no serious injury. His parents are almost crazy over the terrible death of their only son, who was a very brilliant child and respect by all who knew him. the funeral was held at 1 p.m. Thursday, at the home of his parents.

Mrs. Wilkins, Chenango Union, August 17, 1882: The funeral of Mrs. Wilkins was attended at her home, the residence of her son, Wallace Wilkins, on Thursday afternoon of last week. Her death was sudden, being usually well until the evening previous to it. Though quite an aged lady, she has never been idle, as the numerous bedquilts, spreads, and varied pieces of fancy work show what her busy fingers have done in the past few years. But the Master she loved bade her "come up higher," and she rests from her labor. Two sons resided in Rockford, Ill, one of them, Mr. Burr Wilkins, was present at her funeral.

Warner officiating--were held at this place in the Congregational church, of which she had been a member of sixty-three years.
