Found Dead: Zira Church, a resident of North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], a farmer about 45 years old, was found dead in the barn of Norman Cox, about a mile north of this village, on Saturday evening last, about 7 o'clock. He arrived there about noon on Saturday, partially intoxicated; remained about the house for nearly an hour, during which time he drank large quantities of liquor from a bottle which he had in his pocket; then went to the barn, as the family supposed, to get his horse to go home, but was soon after noticed lying in one of the stalls asleep. He was heard snoring very loudly as late as 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but on going to the barn about 7, Mr. Cox found him dead, and to all appearance he had been so for several hours. At an inquest held by Dr. Bailey, a verdict was rendered that he died in consequence of organic disease of the stomach, caused by the excessive use of poisonous liquors. Mr. Church was not a man that drank constantly, but when he did he made a business of it. He leaves a wife and seven small children, together with some property.
Happenings of the Times - The National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Dedication Ceremonies
Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, November 25, 1863
The ceremonies attending the dedication of the National Cemetery commenced Monday morning, Nov. 16th, by a grand military and civil display, under command of Major General Couch. The line of march was taken up at 10 o'clock, and the procession marched thro' the principal streets to the cemetery, where the military formed in line and saluted the President. At a quarter-past 11 the head of the procession arrived at the main stand. The President and members of the cabinet, together with the chief military and civic dignitaries took position on the stand. the President seated himself between Mr Seward and Mr Everett, after a reception marked with the respect and perfect silence due to the solemnity of the occasion, every man in the immense gathering uncovering on his appearance.
The military then formed in line, extending around the stand, the area between the stand and military being occupied by civilians, comprising about fifteen thousand people, and including men, women and children. The attendance of ladies was quite large. The military escort comprised one squadron of cavalry, two batteries of artillery, and a regiment of infantry, which constitutes the regular funeral escort of honor for the highest officers in the service.
The prayer was made by the Rev. Mr. Stockton, Chaplain of the Senate. Mr. Everett then commenced the delivery of his oration which was listened to with marked attention throughout. The President also delivered a dedicatory speech.
Among the distinguished persons on the platform were the following: Governors Bradford of Maryland, Curtin of Pennsylvania, Morton of Indiana, Seymour of New York, Parker of New Jersey, and Tod of Ohio; ex-Governor Dennison, of Ohio; John Brough, governor elect of Ohio; Charles Anderson, lieutenant governor of Ohio; Major Generals Schenck, Stahel, Doubleday and Couch; Brigadier General Gibbon, and Provost Marshal General Fry.
The great national cemetery is situated close by the Gettysburg cemetery on the west side of the Baltimore turnpike, and overlooks the general battle field and much of the surrounding scenery. It was itself a portion of the battle field, on which was done some of the hardest fighting of those three terrible days. The state of Pennsylvania purchased the lot and presented to other states each a section proportionate in size to the number of bodies to be interred. New York has the largest lot in the cemetery. One plot of ground, devoted to the burial of bodies unrecognized, has been classed as "unknown." The lots radiate from a center to the exterior of a circle and the bodies are placed in rows with the heads toward the center and feet toward the battlefield. A space of two feet is devoted to each body. A durable stone wall is built at the head of each grave and it is intended to place a high curb stone of attractive white marble also opposite each man's grave. On each will be the name of his company and the regiment to which he belongs. The cemetery is symmetrically laid out, the walks being frequent. The monument will probably be placed in the center of the cemetery.
