Died: In Preston [Chenango Co., NY], Nov. 11th, 1864, J. Luverne [Noyes], only child of James J. and Eunice Noyes, aged 3 years, 10 months and 7 days. Oh, say where rests your darling? / Not in his cradle bed, / Not in the lonely grave yard, / With the cold and mold'ring dead; / But in a heavenly mansion, / Upon his Savior's breast, / With his sister's arms about him, / He takes his sainted rest.
Died: At the residence of her father, near Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY], Nov. 18th, 1864, of diptheria, Nancy A. [Peck], aged 21 years, 5 months and 2 days. By this sad bereavement many hearts are left lonely and desolate, but they have the consolation of knowing that their loved and lost one "sleeps in Jesus." The death chamber was a scene of triumph over the last enemy, which no one who witnessed it can ever forget, "Weep not for me. I'm only going home a little while before you, and I'll watch over you, and come and meet you when you are called," she said to her weeping mother; and to all who approached her, words of exhortation or of praise to her Redeemer.
You walked by my side, dear mother, / Close down by death's cold shore, / But you could not see the white-robed band / That was waiting to waft me o'er.
And you snag for me, my sister, / The songs I loved to hear; / But you could not hear the heavenly notes / That were wafted to my ear.
I join in those songs, my loved ones, / For I know no sickness now, / And to Him I loved - my Savior - / With the angels bright I bow.
Would ye call me back, oh loved ones, / To the toil and pain and strife, / That are so often mingled / On the battle field of life?
Nay, rather come and join me; / I'll watch you till you come, / And then I'll come and lead you / To my beauteous heavenly home.
Death of Lieut. Norman Lewis
We announced, three weeks since, that Lieut. Norman Lewis, formerly of this town [Morrisville, Madison Co., NY], had his leg shot off in the action at Cedar Creek, Va., on the 19th ult. His friends here subsequently received letters from him, stating that he was in the hospital At Martinsburgh, was doing well, and should probably be able to return home in a few days. Nothing further, however, was heard from him until last Saturday, when information was received by Mr. Hiram Lewis here that a body was at Canastota directed to his care. On proceeding to that place it was ascertained that the body was the remains of Lieut. Lewis, which had been sent from Martinsburg. Beyond this nothing is known of the circumstances of his death. The corpse was brought to this village and on Monday afternoon the funeral took place from the residence of his brother (Romulus Lewis), the services being conducted by Rev. J.R. Lewis, Pastor of the Congregational Chruch.
Lieut. Lewis was the son of the late Mr. John Lewis, of this town, and a few years since he went to Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], where he afterwards resided. On the organization of the 114th Regiment, he enlisted into one of the Chenango companies, and was afterward commissioned as Lieutenant. He was with the regiment thro' all its campaigns in Louisiana, and also in Northern Virginia, until the time of receiving his fatal wound. Lieut. Lewis was 31 years of age, and unmarried. He was a brave soldier and a good citizen, highly esteemed by his relatives and acquaintances, and his untimely fall is sincerely lamented by our whole community. Morrisville Observer

The Late Doct. Mead, of Smyrna
We find in the Quincy (Illinois) Herald, of Nov. 30th, which has just come to hand, the following notice of the late Doct. Mead, of Smyrna, who died at Quincy, while on a visit to his son:
Death of Dr. N.B. Mead: Dr. N.B. Mead (father of Chas. W. Mead), died in this city yesterday. The funeral takes place this morning at 10 o'clock. We had but a slight acquaintance with Mr. Mead, but sufficient to satisfy us that he was a man of decided character. He came to this city some two years since where he has made hosts of warm, devoted friends. He was a man of mark in many respects. He had no enemies, all with whom he became acquainted were his friends. His intercourse with the people of this city was brief, but it was pleasant and profitable to both. All who had made his acquaintance will regret the news of his death. He was emphatically a man amongst men. Honor to his memory and peace to his ashes.
