SMITH:  In Coventry [Chenango Co., NY], on Thursday, Jan. 20th, Mr. Matthew B. Smith, aged 75 years.  Mr. Smith had been a resident of Coventry for the past fifty-five years.  He united with the 1st Congregational Church of the town fifty-four years ago and was one of the number who many years since composed a colony from that church, and established the 2d Congregational Church of Coventry.  The wife with whom he had lived for more than half a century survives him, as do all his children, six in number and all of whom are members of the Church to which he belonged.  During the last years of his life, Mr. Smith has been prevented by feeble health from engaging in the active duties of life, and rarely passed beyond the precincts of his own home though during a large portion of his life he had been a very active and efficient business man.  His decline was quite gradual until the last few days of his life, when he rapidly failed, and on Thursday morning, the 20th inst. passed calmly and peacefully from earth, and, we hope and trust, entered the rest of Heaven.

Death of Joseph Juliand

Joseph Juliand, a prominent citizen of Greene [Chenango Co., NY], and well known in the County, died at his residence in that village, Sunday morning last.

Mr. Juliand went to his room Saturday night at about eleven o'clock, and as his family supposed had retired as usual to rest. The next morning, however, the attention of his son in passing the door of his father's room was arrested and entering the room he found the deceased upon the floor in an unconscious state.  A physician was immediately called, but he was already beyond relief, and survived only a few minutes after he was first found. When first discovered the lamp was burning in his room and the bed had not been disturbed, a part only of his clothing was removed, and everything indicated that Mr. Juliand had been suddenly stricken down, probably with apoplexy.

The deceased was 73 years of age, and the second of five brothers, four of whom survive him, the eldest being Col. Richard Juliand of Bainbridge.  He represented this County in the Assembly in 1827 and again in 1831 and 1832, and although he always sustained himself with honor in all places of public trust, he will be best remembered as the upright citizen, the correct man of business, and the courteous Christian gentleman, always welcome in the social and domestic circle in which he moved.  Mr. Juliand was but once married, and survived his wife, who was the daughter of the late Erastus Perkins of this village where he always kept his acquaintance fresh, and where many who knew him well, will mingle their sincere regrets at his loss, with those of his bereaved family.  Oxford Times, 16th.
