Ray Hall
Friends in Guilford were shocked late Sunday afternoon to hear of the death of Ray Hall, of Endicott [Broome Co., NY], for years a resident of Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. He passed away Sunday, October 1, in the Johnson City Hospital where he had been a patient for the past few days. His death was due to a heart attack. Mr. Hall spent many years of his life in Guilford. For thirty years he served as superintendent of the Sheffield Farms in Guilford. When his health began to fail he tendered his resignation, and made his home in Endicott, where his daughters teach. Last Summer they purchased a summer home on Guilford Lake, and the coming back to the town, where he had spent the happiest years of his life, did much to brighten his last days. Mr. Hall was born 73 years ago at Guilford Center, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hall. Final rites were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from Seymour's Funeral Home at Oxford. Surviving are the two daughters, Julia and Pauline.
William W. Nash
Tuesday evening at 9:30 o'clock, September 26, William W. Nash died at his home in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY]. Although not enjoying the best of health, Mr. Nash had been at his office throughout the day and days previous. Death was nearly instantaneous, caused by a violent heart attack.
Mr. Nash was born November 2, 1866, nearly 73 years ago in the Town of Windsor [Broome Co., NY]. He was the son of William O. and Marcia (Winsor) Nash. Sixty years of his life have been spent in Guilford, and they have been full years, full of acts of kindness, full of activity in all things pertaining to Christ Church, our school, and our village.
During his 60 years spent in our village, there is hardly a public office he has not at some time filled. Among them, postmaster and town clerk. At the time of his passing, he served as senior warden and treasurer of Christ Church, Secretary and treasurer of the Guilford Cemetery Association and school treasurer. For 25 years he has been associated with the American Surety Company, and only recently was awarded a beautiful electric clock with his name engraved in gold plate, as a token of his years of splendid service. His passing will leave a void, that only time alone can fill. At every turn in the road of life he will be missed.
Surviving are one aged aunt, Mrs. Pheobe Bentley, of Gilbertsville, nine cousins, Carlton Bentley, of Gilbertsville, Mrs. Walter Bunnell, of Pehlam, Mrs. Bertha Cook and Miss Mae Hovey, of New York City, Mrs. Bert Evans and son, Bussell, Mrs. Fred Plumb and Harry Nash, of Guilford, and Miss Ella Winsor, of Sherburne.
A Masonic service was held Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, from the Seymour Funeral home, Oxford, in honor of their departed member. Final rites were held Friday P.M., at 2 o'clock, from the same place, the Rev. G.E. Scull, of Christ Church, officiating. Burial in Sunset Hill Cemetery, Guilford. Floral pieces were beautiful and profuse, expressing the place Mr. Nash held in the hearts of his friends.
