Died last evening, February 19th, Mrs. Lucretia C. Juliand, at the advanced age of eighty-nine. Pneumonia severed the cord of her life and removed one of the oldest, most refined and charming ladies of Bainbridge [Chenango Co.., NY], one whose life had always been a charm in her home and a bright factor in society, and a Christian. She was born in Guilford, Conn., June 4th, 1805, and became the wife of Col. Richard W. Juliand in 1822. Ever since, her home has been in Bainbridge at her late residence, which is a beautiful and historic landmark. Always identified with the society and church work in the village, she spread an influence, valuable in the same degree that her death is mourned. Colonel Juliand died fifteen years ago. In her old age Mrs. Juliand was comforted and cared for by a son, Joseph Juliand, of Bainbridge, and a daughter, Mrs. James Banks, of Chicago, who survive her in sadness over the departure of a loving mother. The funeral is held on Friday at 2:30 P.M. with services in St. Peter's church and burial in the cemetery of the church. Bainbridge Republican. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, Feb. 28, 1895]
Dr. B.F. Smith died at his home in Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY], Friday morning, aged about sixty years. For many years he had been a prominent physician in that place, an esteemed citizen and an upright man. He had been in failing health for some time, and for two weeks previous to his death his condition was critical. Although his death was not unexpected, his loss is felt by the community of which he has so long been an honored member. In politics Dr. Smith was a Democrat, and he for several years represented his town on the Board of Supervisors. He was a prominent member of the Chenango County Medical Society of which he was President at the time of his death, and enjoyed in a marked degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow members. He leaves a wife and one daughter. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, and was largely attended, including members of the County Medical Society. Burial in Evergreen cemetery at White Store.

Edwin P. Ludington a former resident of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], died at his home in New York city, Saturday, aged forty-four years. Mr. Ludington was the son of the late James S. Ludington a former well known lumber dealer, and was born in Plymouth this county [Chenango Co., NY] in 1851, where his youth was spent. He secured his education in Norwich academy. The New York Herald of the 24th gives the following particulars of his death: "Edwin P. Ludington, a lumber dealer and boss truckman, living at No. 513 West Fourteenth street, where he also had an office, died suddenly yesterday. He tipped the scales at 398 pounds and stood several inches over six feet in his stockings. The excessive amount of flesh he carried rendered him a victim to heart disease, as well as asthma, and for many years he suffered greatly from these afflictions. His living apartments were over his office, but yet he ever went up to his bed there during the last three months. The only comfortable position in which he could court slumber was sitting in the office chair, which was built in a special manner for him. He had been attended for some time by a physician, and it was by the latter's advice that he made his bed in his chair. It was feared that if he lay on a bed or couch that he might smother, so badly was he afflicted with asthma. His nights of restless slumber in the office chair were shared by a male relative, so that he might be ready to render prompt assistance to the sufferer. Ludington's roommate awoke at six o'clock yesterday morning and glanced toward the chair where the lumber dealer was sitting. He was apparently asleep, but when his companion tried to arouse him the discovery was made that he was dead." He was a prominent Mason. He is survived by one brother, James S., of New York, and two sisters, Mrs. Minnie E. Smith of Boston, Mass., and Mrs. Thomas R. Warner, of this town, his wife and child having died some years since. The remains were brought to this place on Tuesday morning and taken to Breese's undertaking rooms, where they remained until afternoon, when they were removed to Mt. Hope chapel, where the funeral services were conducted at two o'clock by Rev. T.G. Cass. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, Feb. 28, 1895]
