Emma E. Howard died at the Palmer House [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] on Saturday morning, March 3, 1900, of pneumonia, after an illness of one week. Miss Howard's home was in Madison, N.Y. Her occupation was that of cook, in which she was quite distinguished, and it was in this capacity she had recently come to the hotel. Her age was about 41 years. Fred B. Howard, a brother of the deceased, came to Norwich Saturday and took the body to Madison on the 4:30 O.&W. train. The funeral was held in that village Tuesday afternoon. The relatives named below desire to thank Landlord and Mrs. George W. Brooks and all others for the kindness shown by them during the sickness and death of Miss Howard. Mr. and Mrs. F.B. Howard and G.F. Howard of Madison; Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Tucker, of Hamilton; Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Pomeroy, of Syracuse. Sun [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, March 8, 1900]
As peacefully as the babe sleeping upon its mother's breast, and as quietly as the golden sun sinks behind the western hill tops, so the spirit of a dear young girl passed into the realm of heavenly life and joy on Sunday morning, March 4, 1900. Florence M. Steere, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Steere of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] died at their home on Fair street, aged 13 years, having been born December 17th, 1887. She had been sick scarcely a week from peritonitis, and although everything that medical effort could summon and loving friends devise was done for the little sufferer, still the Angel of Life immortal called her spirit home. The heart pangs of anguish and loneliness of the parents and brothers at the loss of their loved one, is in a measure assuaged by this fact. Florence was naturally of a delicate constitution, although her health for the past few months had been much better than for a year previous to that time. On this account she had been obliged to relinquish her school duties for a long time and had but recently began attending school again. She will be greatly missed by her young associates and those of more mature years who loved her for her kindly disposition and quiet ladylike demeanor. Funeral services were held from the home Tuesday afternoon last at 2 o'clock Rev. Samuel Moore officiated. Burial in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, NY]. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, March 8, 1900]
On Tuesday, March 26, William R. Breed, one of the oldest and most esteemed residents of this town, died at his home one mile south of this village, aged eighty-three years. He had been confined to his house for the past two years, during the latter part of which time he was blind, and death came from the infirmities of old age. Mr. Breed was a son of Dea. Elias Breed, an early resident of Norwich, who settled upon a farm near that since owned by the deceased. William was a lifelong resident of this town [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], who devoted his life to agricultural pursuits. He was unassuming in manner, upright and honorable, and a much respected citizen. He leaves three sons: George D., of Minneapolis, Minn.; William R., of Chicago; and Horace P., who has been in charge of the homestead for some time past. Two brothers and a sister survive him: Charles R. Breed, of this village; Samuel S. Breed, of St. Paul, Minn.; and Mrs. John Fryer, of this village. The funeral will be held from the late residence of the deceased, Thursday afternoon at one o'clock, Rev. T.G. Cass officiating. Burial in Mt. Hope cemetery [Norwich, NY].

George W. Button: The sad bereavement that reached us in the last issue of the Union, the death on Sunday the 17th, of this old time resident, was announced. He had resided here [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY] over thirty years, and for nearly twenty had a shoe shop in the basement of the Prindle block, to which he came every morning and which he left every night with the regularity of clock work. We are informed that he has never been out of town but twice in all that time, and never absent from his shop except from illness. Mr. Button was born in Vermont, at the foot of the Green Mountains, in 1820, and had reached the age of seventy-four. He was a man well informed, and original in his thinking. Before he came to Norwich he resided in North Norwich and in Plymouth. In the latter place he at one time owned a farm, was chorister of the Baptist church, and held several minor town offices. His last sickness was of short duration. He met death calmly, bidding his family goodbye and cheering them to the last. The funeral was attended Tuesday afternoon Rev. T.G. Cass officiating, and interment followed in Mt. Hope [Norwich, NY]. Some beautiful flowers were placed upon his casket. He is survived by his widow and two children, of this village, and a daughter by a former marriage, Mrs. D.W. Dennis, of Sidney. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, March 28, 1895]
