 Oxford Times, November 3, 1858

Married:  In this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], on the 1st inst., by Rev. J.C. Ransom, Mr. Benjamin Rowe to Miss Sarah E. Severn, both of Butternuts [Otsego Co., NY].

Death of Hon. Alvah Hunt:  This former citizen of Chenango [County, NY], died in New York on Thursday last, of paralysis.  Mr. Hunt was formerly a prominent citizen of Greene [Chenango Co., NY], and esteemed by a large circle of acquaintance and friends.  He is remembered by those who had the opportunity to know him, as a man of warm heart and generous social qualities, and always most happy when surrounded by his friends at his own fireside.  Mr. Hunt occupied a seat in the Senate of this State from this district from 1839 to 1843, and subsequently was elected State Treasurer.  For a few years past he had made his residences at New York, as Treasurer of the Desxcines(?) Railroad and Navigation Company.  His death will be a great shock to many remaining friends, but to his wife, herself a hopeless invalid, and the subject of great care and concern to Mr. Hunt, his loss is an irreparable bereavement.
