Death by Drowning: We have the painful intelligence to announce that the wife of Addison Miller, formerly of this town [Greene, Chenango Co., NY], and now of Ketchum's Corners, Broome County, came to her death by drowning on Tuesday last. It appears that Mrs. Miller has been for some time afflicted with periodical attacks of severe pains in the head, which have at time rendered her quite frantic. On the morning of the day of her death she complained somewhat, but thinking nothing serious, her husband went to Binghamton upon business, leaving his wife at home with a little boy. About 8 o'clock in the evening, she put the child to bed, but after a short time the child arose and not finding his mother in the house, alarmed the neighbors. Search was made, and the body of Mrs. Miller was found quite dead, in a large spring near the house, into which she had evidently plunged head foremost, while laboring under a temporary aberration of mind induced by the condition of her health. Greene American.

Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 18, 1867
Messrs. Editors: Our little village has been filled with sorrow and gloom since Saturday evening, by a terrible catastrophe from a kerosene lamp. It occurred at Chapel's hotel, while the proprietor was absent on business, and Mrs. chapel lay in another room, sick on her bed.
Miss Katie Brooks, a very pleasant and amiable faced young lady, whose parents reside in Pharsalia [Chenango Co., NY], was sitting in a rocking chair, busily engaged on some crochet work when one of the rockers tilted the stand on which the lamp stood, and upset the lamp in her lap, exploding it. she instantly flew to Mrs. Chapel's door, but the sick woman being unable to render her any assistance, directed her to the bar room, whiter she rushed, while the flames enveloped the whole upper part of her person and went up nearly to the top of the room. Mr. Ralph Taylor and others tried to smother out the flames with their coats, but to little purpose. But Mr. John Eaton tore off the clothing from the part of her person to which the burning was confined and soon succeeded in quenching the fierce flames; not, however, till death had done its work. For though everything was done, which the medical skill and the kindness of the village could suggest, she expired Sabbath evening at 10 o'clock, a little more than twenty-four hours after the sad event occurred.
Her parents were sent for immediately after the accident happened, and in a few hours were on the spot, only to look upon the poor, distorted face and tortured frame of the dear child of their love, while utterly powerless to relieve her sufferings. Our hearts bled for the parents and the daughter. But the poor girl could communicate only an occasional work, that was fully rational, either to parents or others. It was one great, overpowering agony. We could only commend them in silent sorrow, to the All Sympathizing one for comfort and there leave them.
May we all learn the lessons of wisdom suggested by this painful event, in the prayer of, Yours very truly, C.B.
