George A. Harris
Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, November 18, 1880

HARRIS:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Saturday evening, nov. 13th, 1880, Mr. George A. Harris, in the 43d year of his age.

During the week just passed much anxiety was felt throughout this community as to the serious illness of George A. Harris, who was suffering from typhoid pneumonia, with which he was attacked early in the week, the result of a neglected cold, and although his recovery was towards the last despaired of, the announcement of his dealt on Saturday evening cast a gloom over all.  He was in the forty-third year of his age.

Deceased was a son of the venerable Dr. Harvey Harris.  His grandfather removed from Connecticut in 1790, and settled upon the spot where the family residence now stands; there Dr. Harris was born eighty-five years ago, and has since resided; there George and his five brothers and sisters were born; there he has passed his boyhood and youth; and there, in the prime of life, in the rigor of manhood, and in the midst of his usefulness, he breathed his last.

At an early age he was apprenticed to H.N. Walter, in whose employ he acquired a knowledge of the jewelry trade, afterwards becoming a partner with his employers, which relation continued until the death of Mr. Walter, when he continued the business in his own name. As a business man he enjoyed the confidence of his fellow men, his dealings were governed by the strictest integrity; his frank and genial manner made every one his friend, and his prospects were promising for a prosperous future.  His loss will be felt, not only by our business community, but in the social circle he will be missed; while in his pleasant home, the bereaved widow and three little children, the aged parents, the brothers and sisters who survive him, have met with a loss which is irreparable, and the event is one which calls forth the sympathies of everyone.

Funeral services were held at the family residence, on Tuesday afternoon, and were attended by a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends. Rev. Dr. Taylor officiated, and his remarks were touchingly appropriate to the occasion.  His remains were accompanied to the grave by his Masonic brethren, with Knight Templar escort, where the last sad rites were performed according to the ritual of the Order. Business places generally were closed during the services, as a mark of respect to the memory of one who has occupied so prominent a place among us, and who has left behind him a name upon which no tarnish rests.  Pease to his ashes!  

Dr. Harvey Harris

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, January 6, 1881

HARRIS:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Sunday morning, January 2d, 1881, Dr. Harvey Harris, in the 86th year of his age.

About one o'clock [Sunday morning] the venerable Dr. Harvey Harris [departed] this life at his residence, corner of Broad and Rexford Street, in this village [Norwich].  Although for a number of years the Doctor has been gradually declining, and for a number of months past has seldom been seen upon the streets, yet up to within a few days of his death there was nothing especially to indicate that he was so near his end.  The untimely death, seven weeks ago, of his son, George A. Harris, who was a member of the same household, upon whom the aged parent leaned as a stay and staff in the decrepitude of tottering old age, and to whom he looked for solace and comfort when the shadows of the evening of life were gathering around, was a terrible blow, and doubtless hastened the final change.

Dr. Harris was a son of Captain John Harris, who was born on Nantucket Island, Mass., in 1753, and who came from Volunton (now Sterling) Conn., to Norwich, in 1789.  Captain Harris was among the early pioneers of this town, and was notably conspicuous in its early history.  He with his family moved here in the month of January.  Two yoke of oxen attached to a long sled hauled their household goods and supplies, followed by his wife and six children in an old style sleigh, drawn by a pair of horses.  Some idea may be formed of the tediousness of the journey performed ninety years ago, when it is stated that two days were occupied in making the distance, less than twenty miles, between Unadilla and Norwich.

It was expected, in accordance with an arrangement with Avery Power, the first white settler of the town, according to all history, and William Smiley, who came with Captain Harris on his prospecting tour--the latter returning for his family--that a cabin would have been in readiness for the new comers on their arrival, but instead, the timber of which it was to be constructed was still standing in the forest.  While the new habitation was being erected, which occupied but a short time, for high walls and frescoed ceilings were not fashionable then, the Harris family, eight in number, with Hascall and William Ransford, took up their abode with Mr. Smiley's family, numbering four or five, the entire household accommodations consisting of a single room.

The "Harris House" near the old willow tree, which up to within a few years stood on the premises now occupied by David Shattuck, on Rexford Street, was considered an improvement, for it had two rooms.  Here tradition has it, an Oneida Indian, named David, was tried about 1791, for the murder of another Indian whom he supposed stabbed his squaw. This was probably the first trial under the cognizance of the whites in Chenango County.  Here the first town meeting was convened, pursuant to an act of the Legislature, about the year 1793, and here various business meetings were held.  Here, August 3d, 1795, in a rudely furnished log cabin, but where sobriety, contentment and happiness dwelt, the subject of this sketch, the fourth child born in Norwich, first saw the light of day, within a few rods of the spot where, with the exception of a year or two, he passed all the days of his life, and where on Sunday morning he closed his eyes forever upon earthly scenes.

With such limited school advantages as the new settlement furnished, in 1814, at the age of nineteen, Dr. Harris commenced the study of medicine with Dr. Henry Mitchell, attended lectures at the New York Medical College in 1816, and was licensed to practice by the State Commissioners a year later.  The Doctor commenced his professional career in New Berlin, but after about a year returned to Norwich.  For many years he had the reputation as a practitioner second to none in a wide section of country, and many families had great confidence in his judgment and skill. Although he made no pretentions to surgery, he performed some delicate operations at an early period.  Never till the infirmities of age compelled him to withdraw from active professional labors did he decline to serve those requiring medical aid. To the poor especially he was lenient and kind. The Doctor joined the Chenango County Medical Society in 1818, was an efficient and honored member, when able to do so made it a point to attend its meetings, and took a deep interest in the profession of his choice.

Previous to Anti-Masonic times, Dr. Harris was a worthy Mason, and took three degrees in the order. After the lodges went down, as most of them did during that exciting period, he never connected himself with the Fraternity again.  While watchful as to local interests, and well informed in regard to public affairs, Dr. Harris was not a lover of office, and held but few official trusts.  he was Supervisor in 1838, and village Trustee in 1854.  He was one of the founders of Norwich Academy, and a member of the first Board of Trustees.

In 1822 he married Philinda, a daughter of Truman Enos, an old resident who settled here in 1806, by whom he had six children--Abbie, Truman, Hannah Augusta, Harvey, Geroge and William. Four of the children, Hannah Augusta (Mrs. Messenger), Abbie (Mrs. Pelton, of New York) Harvey and William, who are living in the West, together with his aged companion, survive.  In 1857, Dr. Harris connected himself with the Congregational Church, of which Rev. Hiram Doane was then pastor, and ever exemplified his faith by his works.

Dr. Harris, at his death, was doubtless the eldest of our native born.  He witnessed marvelous changes.  He lived to see the original purchase of his father, of two hundred and fifty acres and more, extending from Broad Street to the Chenango river, embracing half of our present corporation limits, transformed from a dense forest into finely cultivated fields and gardens, intersected with streets and highways, abounding in places of business, studded with elegant residences, comfortable and tasty dwellings, the abodes of a prosperous, happy and intelligent people.  The Indian wigwam and camp fire, and the cabins of the white man, he beheld receded before the march of improvements and enterprise and the wheels of progress.  Forty years after Dr. Harris was born there was not a steam railroad in the land; now not only the great city but every considerable town and village is penetrated by a set of railways and traversed by the iron horse.  Not only has the ox-cart and slow stage coach been made to give way, as a means of travel and communication to the railroad and telegraph but the patriarch came down to the day that witnessed the more wonderful operations, if possible, of the electric light and the telephone.

Full of years, good works and blessings, respected and beloved, the aged father has gone to his reward. The last link that connects the present generation with primitive days has been broken.  Not one leaf, but many, have bee lost to the unwritten history of our town and village.

Philinda (Enos) Harris

Died June 8, 1890, Norwich, NY

Norwich [Chenango Co.., NY]:  Sunday, at her home in North Broad Street, Mrs. Philinda E. Harris, widow of the late Dr. Harvey Harris, passed from the scenes of earth.  She had reached a good old age, being in her eighty-sixth year.  Mrs. Harris came of pioneer stock and was the daughter of Truman Enos, for many years a prominent resident of this village. She was born in the town of Oxford [Chenango Co.. NY], October 28th, 1804, and in 1806 removed to this place with her parents, who occupied the site of the present Harris homestead, corner of Broad and Rexford Streets.  She was untied in marriage, October 22d, 1822, to Dr. Harvey Harris, who became one of the leading practitioners in town. There were born to them six children:  Mrs. Abby Pelton, Talmadge Truman Harris, Hannah A. Messenger, Harvey R. Harris, George A. Harris and William H. Harris.  Of these only Harvey and William, both of whom reside in Michigan City, Indiana, survive.  In 1835, Mrs. Harris united with the Congregational Church, under the ministrations of Rev. John Sessions.  For over a half century she has lived a consistent Christian life. She was a prominent worker and leader in church matters till laid aside by age.  She will be greatly missed in the home circle.  Her funeral will be attended Wednesday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, Rev. E.B. Olmstead will officiate in the absence of Rev. Mr. Otis, her pastor.

A Card

The Editor of the Courier returns his most grateful thanks to those individuals, who, yesterday, aided in rescuing his little one form the water, and probably from drowning.  To one person, he feels, something more than this general acknowledgment is due. The accident occurred within a few rods of this Office, on the flat overflowed by the recent freshet.  While his little son, six and a half years old, was struggling in the water, and clinging to the weak and crumbling ice for support, his cries were heard by a lad name Edgar Hilton, in the adjoining street who at once rushed to the rescue.  Young Hilton reached the spot, saying as he approached the struggling lad, "I expect I shall get in there with you, but never mind,"  That expectation was verified.  The ice gave way and Hilton found himself in the water with him whom he had so generously undertaken to save. The water, providentially, proved not beyond his depth, though between him and the shore it most have been several feet deeper; and there he sustained his charge, until help came, and boards were pushed out upon the ice, a distance of between two and three rods, on which both came safely to land.  Edgar Hilton, is twelve years old' and his mother, he inform us, lives in Oswego.  No words of ours can add anything to the character of his noble act.

Mr. & Mrs. Edwin M. Haynes

25th Wedding Anniversary

Chenango Union, January 6, 1881

There was a pleasant gathering of neighbors and friends at the residence of Edwin M. Haynes, in the town of Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], on Saturday afternoon last, January 1st, the occasion being the observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Haynes.  January 1st, 1856, Mr. Haynes, then as now a resident of the town of Oxford, married Miss Ruby Keach, of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], both of whom were born and reared in the vicinity of their present home, where they have for a quarter of a century shared each others joys and sorrows, and when their united labors have been rewarded by a competency.  The spacious rooms of the homestead, recently enlarged and refitted, were thrown open to the guests, and when dinner was announced, upwards of sixty were seated at the tables in the dining room, which were loaded with an abundance of good cheer.  The "inner man" satisfied, the party returned to the parlors, where Rev. W.R. Baldwin made brief but appropriate remarks, alluding to the changes which twenty-five years have wrought, and congratulating the host and hostess upon their deserved success in life.  He was followed by Dr. Foote, J.S. Shattuck, Kinyon Terry and Dea. S. Root.  Mr. Haynes feelingly responded.  The happy couple were the recipients of many valuable presents, designed both for ornament and utility, and the more prized by them as testimonials of friendship and esteem from old and tried friends, many of whom were the associates of their youthful days. As evening approached the assemblage separated for their respective homes, each well pleased with the occasion which had proved so enjoyable.  In the evening the parlors were again filled by a party of young people, who kept up the enjoyment until a late hour.  Taken all in all, it was a pleasant anniversary, and a Happy New Year.

Binghamton Courier, January 20, 1847

On Monday evening last, our community were filled with horror and alarm, at the information that James P. Langford, residing in Rome, in this county, had that evening, made an attempt to murder his wife, by shooting her through the body with a pistol.  From subsequent information we gather the following particulars of this unnatural and aggravated occurrence:  It appears that Langford had repeatedly threatened the life of his wife, had purchased a pistol for that avowed purpose, and on the night on which the dreadful deed was accomplished, deliberately loaded the pistol in her presence, and disregarding her prayers and supplications, holding her with one hand, shot her through the abdomen, the ball passing entirely through her body and lodging in her clothes. She has since lingered in extreme pain, but cannot possibly recover.

Langford was immediately arrested, and is now in our jail awaiting his trial, which will probably take place at February Court.  No reason can be assigned for the commission of this dreadful crime.  It is but the sad finale of years of brutality on his part; and patient suffering and resignation from her.  Our whole community bear witness to the exemplary character of Mrs. Langford, and to her worth and standing.  This dreadful deed is but another dark chapter in the history of intemperance.

We have been thus brief in respect to this occurrence as the prisoner awaits his trail by the laws of his country, and we wish not to add to the already overwhelming indignation manifested against him.  (Bradford, Pa).

Died

At Norwich, on Sunday morning last, Virginia Eliza [Murray], wife of Mr. Henry K. Murray; and daughter of the Hon. D.S. Dickinson, aged 20 years.

Scarcely three months have elapsed since Mrs. Murray gave her hand to the worthy gentleman who had won her affections; and left this village and her father's house, a lovely, beloved and rejoicing bride. The blessings of our people went with her; for among all our maidens, no one was more highly esteemed than Virginia E. Dickinson.  But the affection of her friends could not save her from the shaft of Death. Disease prostrated her; and after long weeks of most painful suffering, she departed for a brighter realm. But she went like the bird from the desert in search of its garden bowers; resigned, happy, joyous, trusting in her God and the Savior who had redeemed her. Then why should we mourn for her!  The living, the stricken husband, and parents, and brother, and sisters, call rather for our condolence and sympathy; and these they have spontaneously offered by this entire community. The remains of the deceased were brought to this place on Monday evening, where they await the expected arrival of Senator Dickinson from Washington to witness their interment.

In this village [Binghamton, Broome Co., NY], on Tuesday morning, Jan. 19th, after a short but severe illness, Mrs. Harriet Abbott, wife of Col. Joseph B. Abbott, aged 46 years.  In the sudden and unexpected death of this estimable Lady, society has been bereft of one of its most useful and exemplary members; and her bereaved Husband and family mourn the loss of one who was truly a Companion and mother in every sense of the word. Though unassuming and retiring in her manners, many have had the opportunity to feel and appreciate her kindness, benevolence and true worth. To the writer, she has been a Mother, Sister and Friend, from whom in the hour of sorrow and affliction, he has received the kindest attention and most consoling sympathy; and whose memory will ever be treasured in the most sacred recesses of his heart. A severer affliction to her family cannot be imagined, not one more calculated to call for Christian sympathy in behalf of those who are most nearly and deeply affected by their sudden bereavement.

Catherine Camp Glazier

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

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.

Vital Records (July 20)

Caroline/Carrie (Bradley) Mitchell

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

Entered into rest on Monday evening, May 9, Mrs. George Mitchell.  the death of Mrs. Mitchell has brought sorrow to a large circle of friends, who had learned to admire and love her for those qualities of mind and heart which adorn a Christian womanhood. The educational advantages which she had enjoyed graced her mind with a culture and refinement which made her ever welcome to the social circle, and rendered her home an attractive spot to her many friends. The close of her earthly life, after a long and painful illness, was marked by that Christian calm and fortitude which belong to the believing, trusting children of God, and were an earnest of the rest which awaited her in the "Land beyond the sunset."  Emmanuel church has lost an earnest faithful communicant, Norwich a respected and beloved member of society.  We may not intrude on the sacred precincts of the home, except to say that there where a woman may best be judged for what she is, Mrs. Mitchell has left an example to which all Christian women might aspire.

Jimmy Graves

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

"Jimmy" Graves, as he was familiarly called by a large circle of acquaintances, died at the residence of his uncle in Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY] on Friday last.  Jimmy had worked in the harness shop of L.A. Knott in this village for a number of years, and in February last was taken ill and went to his uncle's, never recovering from the disease, which was a heart trouble we learn.  Everybody was his friend, no man had more, and although a cripple, his disposition was always the best, and he had a happy  smile and a pleasant word for all.  His death was a sad surprise to friends here.  His funeral was held on Sunday at Mt. Upton and was very largely attended, a large delegation going from this village.  Times

Louisa Hackett

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

Mrs. Louisa Hackett, a lady aged 71 years, has for some time resided with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Fosgate, just above the old limekiln, near Rexford street [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY].  She has been very active for a person of her age, and was thought to be in excellent health.  For several days, preceding Tuesday last, she has been troubled with a severe cold, and her relatives advised her to call in a physician, but she seemed adverse to so doing.  On Tuesday morning she was apparently in good health, and assisted in preparing greens for dinner.  About 11 o'clock she was taken with vomiting, but refused to see a physician until after dinner.  She went up to her room near 12 o'clock, and being gone longer than was her custom her daughter became alarmed, and on going to her room found the old lady partly lying and partly sitting on the floor in a corner with her back against the wall.  Her features were pinched and drawn as though she had suffered great pain.  She was unconscious. Attempts to resuscitate her proved unavailing.  Dr. J. H. Westcott was summoned but before his arrival the old lady had expired. After an examination the physician decided that death was caused from paralysis of the heart, and a death certificate was issued to that effect, Coroner Ormsby investigated the matter and decided that an inquest was unnecessary.  Telegraph

Morris Morey

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 12, 1887

At 2:40 o'clock Friday morning last, the house of Chauncey Morey, in Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] was struck by lightning, and his son, Morris Morey, aged seventeen, was instantly killed. The bolt entered the chimney, went down near the stove, around it, struck a quilt, which with the boy's vest lay upon a chair at the foot of the bed, setting it on fire, and striking the boy on the side near the arm pit, passed up along the side of the head, and is believed to have gone out through a window near the head of the bed.  When Mr. Morey arose he found the body of his son thrown to one side, out of the bed, with his feet resting upon the mattress. The lad never spoke or moved and is believed to have been instantly killed.  A younger brother, in bed with him, was not even stunned.  The boy's watch in his vest was stopped at 2:38 marking the instant of the tragedy. When the body was examined, a black mark was found on the side of the head, near the ear, and another just below the right eye. The skin was not broken. The hair was blown full of feathers from the pillow, and was singed on top of the head.

Out of the gates of Paradise

An angel strayed on day,

And he found upon our beauteous earth

A home where he loved to stay--

A home where love so encircled him,

And was so freely given,

That perhaps he thought 'twas very like

His real home in heaven.

But in his pleasant earthly home

He learned of cruel pain,

A foe that to his heavenly home

Might entrance seek in vain.

There was on earth another foe,

Deadly and cruel sin,

And a fiend who sought poor human souls

into its depths to win.

Yet Willie's robes were spotless, white,

For one to him had given

Through His own precious blood, once spilled,

A right to home and heaven.

More sweet and fair dear Willie grew

As the swift years rolled by;

All loved him so, they could not think

He was fitting for the sky.

But the loving voice which all must hear

Said to him, "Willie come;"

He knew the voice, and swiftly flew

To his sweet heavenly home.

And now he calls "Come, dear ones, come,

Serve Christ, and come to me.

And in this beauteous heavenly home

We may forever be."

Patrick Fogarty

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 5, 1887

Coroner Ormsby held an inquest Thursday, to ascertain if any blame attached to any person for the accident which caused the death of Patrick Fogarty, the Ontario & Western engineer.  The evidence showed that the thread on the blow-off cock was worn off.  The jury rendered the following verdict:  "that Patrick Fogarty came to his death by a shock from extensive burns caused by the blow-off cock blowing out of boiler of engine No. 68 at Walton, Friday, April 22d, 1887, while said Fogarty was setting up wedges under said engine, while in the employ of the N.Y.O.&W. Railway Company. That the accident was caused by defective thread connections between said blow-off cock and boiler.  That the defect in thread connection of this blow-off cock was caused through negligence of parties unknown to us."

An Unfortunate Family:  Patrick Fogarty, the engineer on the Ontario & Western who died from the effects of scalds received while working under his engine at Walton, was a son of Robert Fogarty, of Verona.  The Fogarty boys of that village are singularly unfortunate.  A correspondent writes tat two cousins of the deceased, Patrick and James Fogarty, sons of Patrick Fogarty, of Verona, have been killed by the cars within the past 15 years.  Patrick, a brakeman was knocked off a freight train by a bridge.  Jimmy, while catching rides on cars, as they were being shifted back and forth at the depot, fell from a car and had one leg crushed.  Lock jaw set in and caused death.

George W. Blodgett

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, May 5, 1887

George W. Blodgett, years ago Midland railroad agent in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], died at Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], April 25th, aged about fifty-one years.  He was formerly a prominent business man of DeRuyter, and when the Midland railroad was built was the first agent at that station, subsequently removing to Norwich.  His death was very sudden although his health had bene poor all winter.  He was a son-in-law of A.N. Annas, of DeRuyter.

Robert W. Jacobs - Probable murder

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, Nay 12, 1887

The disappearance of Robert W. Jacobs, of Unadilla [Otsego Co., NY], occasions great excitement in that locality.  Jacobs is a young man about twenty-five years of age, and was living with his parents, about one mile below the village of Unadilla.  He was a student of medicine with Dr. G.L. Halsey, of that village, and agent for the sale of a medical work, leaving home Thursday morning for Sidney [Delaware Co., NY], for the purpose of delivering books to subscribers at that place.  He left Sidney about nine o'clock that evening for home, expressing his intention of taking the railroad track, instead of the traveled road, the distance being considerably shorter.  He was seen near the time mentioned, about half a mile above the village by two  men who had been fishing. Sunday two gentlemen went up the A.&S. road from Sidney, about half a mile and then south to lands near the O.&W. road, to search for trailing arbutus, and while thus engaged in a little thicket of wood, found a pocket book marker "R.W. Jacobs," which contained letters addressed to him.  The pocket book was bloody with distinct marks of the fingers and thumb, as if a bloody hand had taken something out of the book. It is supposed that he had $200 or $300 with him at the time he disappeared, which he had collected.  There was no money in the book when found.  A blood stained hat was found Saturday, at the railroad bridge crossing the Susquehanna, which was recognized by his father as that belonging to Robert. On Monday morning a large searching party was organized and the river in the vicinity of the bridge was thoroughly dragged, but without finding the body.  His order book was found near the abutment of the bridge, and the satchel in which he carried his books was found lodged in some willows a few rods below.  Blood was found upon the bridge.  It is supposed that he was murdered while crossing the bridge and his body thrown into the river. The father of the missing man has offered a reward of $100 for the recovery of the body, and the searchers are still at work.  Young Jacobs was a young man of energy and perseverance and universally respected.

Pomosa Johnson

Chenango Union, Norwich, NY,  May 12, 1887

Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mrs. Pomosa Johnson, widow of Alpheus Johnson, who died at our place in 1841, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Cook, in Afton [Chenango Co., NY], on the 5th inst.  after a short illness, at the advanced age of 89.  She was the only sister of the late Daniel S. Dickinson, and the last of that family. She was one of the early residents of our town, and until a few years ago continued to reside in our midst.  Although nearly blind for a good many years previous to her death, she treasured in a remarkable degree all the early history and incidents of the past, as well as gathered the important events of a more recent date. She possessed much of that shrewd, good sense of her family, and particularly of those mental qualities that made prominent her illustrious brother.  In her death we are again reminded that the "Old landmarks" are fast disappearing from the earth to give place to another and entirely different generation  Mrs. Johnson's remains were interred by the side of her husband at Guilford Centre.
