Chenango American, Greene, NY, January 23, 1862

Died:  In this village, on the 19th inst., Lottie M. [Squires], only daughter of Gen. Charles Squires, aged 19 years.  Thus has passed away another of the victims of the great Waster, Consumption. The household whence this interesting young friend was taken, has been sorely bereaved of its inmates by the ravages of this disease, this being the seventh member of the family on whom this disease has laid its desolating hand. The sympathies and affections of a large circle of companions have been strongly awakened by the loss of one who was universally beloved for her warmth of heart, her joyous temperament and the gentle affection which drew to her the loving regards of many hearts.  She will be missed indeed by the now narrowed home associations, by a fond father and by one who ministered to her needs in health and sickness, with all of a mother's attentions, solicitude and care.  Though life to her was sweet, she yet at last bowed to the Divine decree, and in gentleness and meekness of spirit she murmured forth the language, "thy will O God be done."  Though wasting away under the inevitable result of that incurable disease, she was enabled to avoid even to the last the couch of confining, wearisome suffering.  To the last day of life she sat up and was dressed, and in the clear consciousness of the issue before her.  She passed away without seeming pain. dying down like a candle that has burned itself out in its socket.  "Leaves have their time to fall / And flowers to wither at the North wind's breath, / And stars to set -- but all, / Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death."

Died:  In Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], on the 19th ult. of cankerash and diptheria, Elsie [Justice], aged 11 years, 5 months and 20 days.  On the 22d ult, of measles and diptheria, Freddy [Justice], in the 7th year of his age.  On the 24th ult. of measles and diptheria, Jenney [Justice] aged 1 year, 11 months and 29 days.  On the 25th ult. of measles and cankerash, Noah [Justice], in the 8th year of his age, children of George and Mary Justice.

Died:  In Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], on the 14th inst. Mary Ann [Ruddock], aged 2 years.  on the 15th inst. Alvertus [Ruddock], aged 13 years.  On the 17th inst. Louene [Ruddock] aged 11 years, children of Chester and Sarah Ruddock.

Chenango American, Greene, NY, January 30, 1862

Married:  In this village [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], on the 26th inst., by Rev. Jas. D. Webster, Mr. O.G. Morse, of Binghamton [Broome Co., NY] to Miss Mary R. King, of Chenango Forks [Broome Co., NY].

Died:  In Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], on the 13th ult. of inflammation of the bowels, Addie Conant, aged 15 years.  The circumstances of her early death were solemnly impressive.  One of a large and interesting circle of young people, she leaves many sorrowing hearts.  It was a source of regret that with all other adornments she had not earlier sought the robe of a Savior's righteousness.  Although leaving much that she loved, she felt that it was well.  Her trust was in Jesus, loving him with everybody, she peacefully passed away.  Her disease did its work rapidly, and her pain was severe, but she yet found time to warn her companions of the danger of delaying to turn to Christ.  Her message to her Sunday School was touching indeed, and not without its blessed effects as others bear witness, and to her beloved ones around her as well as a father and brother absent, she left with dying breath, an exhortation to live for Christ and meet her in Heaven.  I.B. Hopwood.
