A Vigorous Old Age - What a Man Nearly 92 years old can do: We heard a few days ago of something worth putting in the paper. It is as follows: Mr. Nicholas Carman, who will be ninety-two years old on the 30th day of April, has since the 1st of December last, cleared a ten acre lot for Wm. Morris, in the town of Vestal [Broome Co., NY], chopping down all the trees and cutting it into wood and rails, and clearing off all the under brush, receiving assistance from no one. The wood from the lot is about fifty cords and the rails are between 3,000 and 4,000 in number. This may well be considered a most remarkable achievement in these latter days. Mr. Carman was born in Dutchess County, and is of low Dutch parentage. He has resided in this (Broome) county upwards of 70 years. He appears hale and hearty and bids fair to live to his hundredth year or more. Bing. Rep.

Died: In this village on the 17th inst. after a short illness, John McKenzie [Gomes], third son of Mandeville and Sarah Gomes, aged 17 years. "We stood beside him yesterday, / Freshness was on thy brow. / It's but a piece of nerveless clay / On which we're gazing now."

A large circle of friends and relatives are brought to mourn the loss of this amiable lady. Benevolent and affable to all, kind and affectionate to friends; zealous in the cause of Christianity, she lived to gladden the circle of her acquaintance and passed away to enjoy the hope, she so fervently maintained while on earth. Amid her intense suffering for the four years she was ill, not a murmur or complaint passed her lips, ever firmly relying on God to give strength and grace for the day of her suffering, and at the last, while friends stood around her death bed weeping, she says "Dear ones, do not weep for me, for I am going home to Jesus."

Mr. T. was universally respected as a citizen; his life being marked by the strictest integrity, and was highly beloved in his own family. He died in the triumphs of living faith, often in his sickness expressing a desire to depart and be with Christ, and we have strong consolation that our loss is his infinite gain. "An honest man is the noblest work of God."

Oxford Times, April 13, 1859
We give the following notice of the death of Chauncey Morgan from the Binghamton Daily Republican. The last visit of Mr. Morgan to our village, was at the time of the Academy Jubilee when his familiar face and ready recollection of early village history was a source of great pleasure to the few survivors of that early period present upon that interesting occasion.
Our much respected fellow citizen, Chauncey Morgan, whose recent death we were compelled to briefly notice, is deserving of a more lengthened tribute to his memory; for while we mourn his death, it is with great satisfaction that we remember his many virtues.
Mr. Morgan was of Welch descent and the son of Gaius Morgan, for many years a resident of our town. He was born at West Springfield, Massachusetts, from which place he removed in early life.
The deceased was bred in a Printing Office, and to the last moment of his life cherished a deep regard for the noble Profession he had chosen. During the war with Great Britain he established and edited at Chenango Point, now Binghamton, the "Broome County Patriot." Soon after, he removed to Oxford, Chenango County, [NY] where he conducted a spirited paper, called "The Oxford Gazette." During all the dark and stormy period which followed the Declaration of War, Mr. Morgan's pen, voice and action were earnestly engaged in the cause of his country. He was a man of the People and the masses looked to him as an Advocate and Champion.
At one time he held the office of Deputy Sheriff and the only complaint ever made against him was the allegation that he was kind, forbearing and merciful to unfortunate debtors.
Mr. Morgan was eminently genial and his sparkling wit and ready humor never failed "to set the table in a roar."
During the last few years he has resided with his son, Henry A. Morgan, Esq., of the City of New York, but within the past year came back to Binghamton, where he commenced the real business of life, and here, surrounded by kindred and friends, watched and tended by the affectionate solicitude of a daughter, and mourned by all who knew him, at the ripe, full age of sixty-eight years, he sank to his everlasting rest.
