He soon after commenced business in the mercantile line and pursued it till a few years since. He was frequently honored by his fellow citizens by offices of trust and responsibility, and he always performed their duties with scrupulous fidelity, and to general acceptance. For forty years he was a member of the Congregational Church in this town, and for a great part of that time one of its officers ever attentive to the interests of the Church. He was eminently a praying man, and has gone down to the grave in a ripe old age, honored and respected by all. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

Death of a Miser: Mr. Gershom Twitchell of Milford [Otsego Co., NY], who died on Friday last, after an illness of only two days, was the last member of a peculiar, and in some respects, a remarkable family. Though a man of considerable wealth, owning one of the finest and most valuable farms in Milford, he persisted in living in a state of the most abjected poverty. On the announcement of his death, says a writer in the Boston Journal, the overseers of the poor took immediate steps to secure his estate for his legitimate heirs. They found in his hovel a large amount of silver, deposited in a pine box, nicely adjusted in layers of dollars, halves, quarters, and smaller coins. They also found a bag in which there was a heavy amount of gold. The specie was taken to the Milford Bank for safe keeping. Nearly the last words uttered by the expiring miser were to request a neighbor who stood by him to leave the room, for fear he would steal the money. His wife abandoned him many years ago, and recently, for a stipulated sum, gave bonds that she would make no claim upon any property he possessed.

The Oneonta [Otsego Co., NY] Murder Case: A Milford correspondent of The Tribune gives the following in relation to the parties in the recent McCranny murder case:
The victim of the poisoning was Hulda Ann McCranny, a young lady of attractive personal appearance, of unusual beauty, indeed, aged at her death about 17 years. She was a girl of most agreeable manners, and possessing a genial humor which endeared her to a large circle of friends.
Elizabeth P. McCranny, so unpleasantly brought to the notice of the public, was the step-mother of the deceased. She is about 50 years of age, a woman of unusually brilliant, not to say dashing, appearance, showing that she once possessed rather a remarkable degree of beauty, the remains of which still exist. Her features are clearly cut, and the expression of her mouth indicates great decision of character and uncommon executive ability. Her eye is sharp and penetrating. By many a distinct and remarkable resemblance is seen between Mrs. McCranny and Mrs. Cunningham.
She was married to Mr. McCranny early in 1859, taking to his house her own daughter, Lucia Baker. Mr. McCranny was her third husband; her second, Mr. Baker, having died under rather peculiar circumstances. Of her previous history very little is now known. Her father is a Methodist preacher, residing in Wisconsin, at Prairie du Chien. On her mother's side she is said to be related to Aaron Burr.
She was one of the witnesses at the inquest, and her testimony was given in a very calm and collected manner; though from some appearances the spectators were led to believe that her self-possesstion was assumed, and maintained by a severe effort. Her second husband, Mr. Baker, whose death was just now alluded to, was a resident of this county, and the fact adds to the excitement prevailing in the community. Mr. McCranny has already stated that Huldah McCranny is the seventh person she has been accused of poisoning. She was conveyed to jail on last Sunday morning, where she will remain till the time of her trial, which will take palce in December next. Evidence has not yet been made public which points with much clearness to the motive for this last deed, but the skein will probably be unraveled before long. In the minds of those who knew the accused, and who saw her at the inquest, there seems not to be a shadow of doubt that she is guilty, and guilty of unnatural cruelty, for the testimony before the coroner appeared to show that she had daily administered poison while pretending to nurse the daughter she was murdering.
