Died: We take from the N.Y. Independent of the 14th inst., the following obituary notice of one who was formerly an esteemed resident of our village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY]: In Minneapolis Min. April 23d of consumption, Mrs. Julia M. Vanderburg, wife of Judge C.E. Vanderburg of Minneapolis and daughter of Wm. Mygatt, Esq., of Oxford, N.Y.: One year ago the fatal disease manifested itself. A sudden hemorrhage of the lungs startled the happy family with sad premonitions. The stricken wife showed no alarm. A devoted husband with two children made her long to live. For this she prayed. Three months ago a new phase of this disease brought her, as she supposed, to the door of death, expecting to be torn thus suddenly from her loved ones, she felt no fear. "Heaven seems come down to earth," she remarked, so assured was she that her peace and readiness must be from God. "My peace I give unto you." was fulfilled to her. Since that time she has rapidly failed, entertaining never more than a dim hope of prolonged life. "For the sake of my husband and children, I would love to live," she said, "but I have no fear; my trust is in Jesus." Thus inspired and comforted by the Son of God, she neared the river. On the last day of her life she spoke much of her faith in Christ. She urged all to love Christ. Thursday, the day of her going home, was a sunny spring morning. Nature lifted up her song of praise. "I would," she said, "love to go to heaven on such a day as this. Her last words were "Blessed Savior, receive my spirit," and thus "he gave his beloved sleep." The character of this disciple was rarely beautiful in its symmetry. A wide circle of friends bear tribute to it. Unselfishness was the rule of her life. Her anxiety and interest was centered upon others. Her nature was infused with love. Christlike love breathed from her life. In her early home she was the loving and the loved. On her dying bed she said, "I love everybody, heaven is love, God is love, Christ is love." How congenial to her the atmosphere of heaven, the loving companionship into which she has entered. Combined with the characteristics referred to was an unusual balance of judgment, a cleanness of decision in questions of duty, which won the confidence of all. She was an active Christian. Her benevolence sought the neglected and the poor. The bright Sabbath on which her frail body was laid to rest, the theme of the sermon "To live is Christ, to die is gain," the trust that kindled mourning hearts with the assurance of a happy reunion in the better land. These made the last services rather those of praise than of sorrow.

Departed for the Spirit Land, April 2, 1863, Mrs. Ellen B. Stanley, wife of Adams E. Stanley, and daughter of J.L. And Betsey Beebe, of McDonough [Chenango Co., NY] in the 37th year of her age. It is but justice to say of the departed, that as a wife, mother, daughter or sister, she was much beloved. Her faith in the ministry, and her hope of immortality, were on the word and works of the Creator of all things. A short time before she died she called her near and dear relatives to her bedside, and said to them that she had no fears for the future, and wished them not to shed any tears for her after she was gone, for she was going to rest. She wished her children brought to her, that she might kiss them for the last time, and bid them farewell, till they should meet in a purer and happier world beyond the River. She has left a husband, five children, and many relatives to mourn for her. May they be comforted with the thought that their great loss is her infinite gain.
Lieut. G.G. Donnelly: The friends of this brave man have received news of his death. When he enlisted into the 114th Regiment, he was pastor of the Baptist Church in Afton, Chenango county [NY], and he left his charge and proceeded with his regiment as Lieutenant of one of the companies to New Orleans, in Gen. Banks' expedition, where he saw considerable hard service. Just before his death he had been quite sick, but had so far recovered as to be doing duty when by accident he fell through a draw bridge while out on picket, at Brashear City, La., April 26th. he had been in the ministry but about three years, and was beloved by his Chruch at Afton and the community at large. He left a pleasant home, and kind friends, and associated himself with those who went forth to fight for the old flag, the Stars and Stripes, and has fallen a victim to this wicked Rebellion, at the age of 39. His widow will have the sympathy of all her neighbors and friends. Oneonta Herald
