Alanson Pike, son of the late Jarvis K. Pike, formerly of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], died at Whitewater, Wisconsin, the place of his residence, on the 9th of March last.  He made a visit to this, his native town, some two or three years ago, at which time he was in excellent, even robust health.  His age, at the date of his decease was not far from 45.  The Watertown Republican speaks of him as a man of sterling worth; and we judge from the prefix of "Hon." which it attaches to his name, that at some time he had been a member of the legislature of his State.  Mr. Pike leaves many friends here, as well as at his late home, who will long remember him for his gentle disposition and his manly virtues.

In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], March 28th, Thomas Milner, Esq., aged 49 years.

Mr. Thomas Milner, a prominent and much respected citizen of Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], died at his residence in this place on Thursday last.  He has been greatly out of health for several months, the fears and hopes of his family and friends alternating with the frequent changes in his condition.  Death finally claimed him as his own, and he is removed to the resting place appointed for all the living as well as the already dead.  His funeral was held on Sunday, and was attended by a huge concourse of friends and mourners.  Mr. Milner for most of his active life was engaged in mercantile pursuits, and always maintained the character of an upright and enterprising business man.  In 1848 he was elected Treasurer of the  County, bring the person to hold that office after it was made by the constitution of 1846 elective by the people,  In 1854, he was elected County Clerk.  In both of these positions he discharged all his duties with credit to himself and fidelity to the public.  At the time of his death, he was one of the firm of Milner & Peck, forwarders, of this village.  As a citizen, neighbor, and friend, his loss falls upon our whole community, whose attachment he had won by his genial nature and the generosity of his disposition.  His age was 49, and he leaves a widow and two children.
