In the list of killed in the late bloody massacre at Olustee, Florida, we notice the name of E.D. Van Camp, a member of Co. B, 8th N.Y. colored troops. He was drafted into the service last summer from this town [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], and went to the war with the greatest reluctance, being too poor to pay the $300 commutation. He was a barber by occupation. Poor Ed! It is to be hoped that he "has gone where the good go."
The name of George Robinson, of Co. A, same regiment, is in the list of wounded in the same battle, and it is generally supposed to refer to another colored soldier form this place, of that name. But the George Robinson from here enlisted in a Rhode island regiment of colored troops which regiment at the last accounts was in Louisiana. All the drafted negro soldiers from here, however, were in the battle of Olustee.
Death of Jabez Robinson: Another aged citizen has been gathered to his fathers - another landmark of early days and of primitive simplicity has been removed. This melancholy event took place at his late residence in this town after a brief and painful illness, on Thursday the 25th ult. Mr. Robinson was born in Lebanon, New London County, Conn. on the 19th of April 1783. He removed from his native place to this county, in the year 1808, and settled in Oxford, on the west side of the Chenango river, where, or near the place where his brother Dan. H. Robinson, Esq., now resides. In the second great struggle of this then infant country to preserve and perpetuate the liberties won in the Revolution, he entered the service of his country in the forces raised by his adopted State, and remained therein until the close of the war. Mr. Robinson never forgot, and was never recreant to the teachings of his childhood and early years. Integrity marked and controlled his every dealing with his fellow men. Rectitude and honesty were a part of the religion in which he believed, and which in all things he ever practiced. A generous hospitality of the New England type ever gave not only to friends and acquaintances a cheerful and hearty welcome to his home, and his fireside, but was also extended to the wayfarer and pilgrim tossed and buffeted on life's varying sea. He was often in early years the recipient of the favor and confidence of his fellow townsmen in the selection to fill various public trusts, and in November 1834, was elected Sheriff of the county for three years, commencing January 1st, 1835. In all the various stations which he was called upon to fill from time to time, he was faithful deserving and fully adhering to the tenets of his early education. A devoted and warm hearted friend, a kind husband and father, a good neighbor, an honest man, he has filled the measure of his days, and now sleeps full of years, honored and lamented. Oxford Times

Died: In Lisle [Broome Co., NY], March 7th, 1864, Mr. Theodore Wade, aged 84 years, 2 months and 24 days. The deceased was born at Gloucester, Providence Co., Rhode Island, on the 13th of December, 1779. He removed from his native place to Guilford, Chenango Co., .Y. in 1818. In 1843, (being then in his 64th year), he met with a change, which he found to be no less than that described by the Savior: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." His death will long be lamented by all who were so happy as to enjoy his friendship. His age rendered his death not unexpected. But what is their loss is his gain; for he died as the Christian should die. Calm and collected in his last moments, he committed with pious resignation his body to the earth, and his "spirit to the God who gave it." Like the Patriarchs of old, his name will be remembered for his virtues, and his virtues served as a bright example to the rising generation. "The righteous hath hope in his death." "And I heard a voice form heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth' yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works so follow them."
"Then rest, sweet saint, thy duties done, / Thy battles fought, the victory won; / And they who mourn, and miss thee here, / Must strive, and pray, to join thee there."

Death of Hon. Samuel A. Smith: The Hon. Samuel A. Smith of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY], died at his residence in that town on Thursday last, full of years and honors. Mr. Smith for a long period was prominent in the affairs of this County, having at one time been Sheriff and at other times having represented the county in the legislature. He was a man of more than ordinary mind of social and benevolent disposition, and always maintained a high character for probity and Christian virtue. With these characteristics, he could not otherwise been a man of mark and influence in the community where he lived and such he was throughout his days. This makes three of the prominent citizens of Guilford, who, within a few months, have been followed to the grave.--Humphrey Ingersoll.
