Death of Anson Mead
MEAD: In North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY], Feb. 25th, Mr. Anson Mead, aged 65 years.
Anson Mead, a life long and respected citizen of this County [Chenango Co., NY], died on Thursday last at this residence in North Norwich, after an illness of a few weeks. Deceased was the fourth son of the late Gen. Thompson Mead, and was born scarcely a mile from the spot where he passed his youth, manhood and age.
Mr. Mead was quiet and unobtrusive in his manners, respectful to the judgments of others, yet always entertaining decided views and opinions of his own. Possessed of a kind heart, with charity for all, he led an exemplary Christian life, and his death creates a vacancy in the community and in the church to which he belonged, not easily filled. The home circle especially will feel the full force of the shock, for there his excellent qualities shown brightest, there will grief deepest settle down.
Mr. Mead was twice married and leaves a wife in second widowhood. He also leaves a son and two daughters well married and settled in life. His age was about 65 years. Of the large family of children reared by Gen. Mead, but two remain, Allen Mead and the wife of Hon. John F. Hubbard, Sr., both of this village.
Death of Hon. Anson Burlingame
A dispatch form St. Petersburg tells of the death of Hon. Anson Burlingame, in that city, on Tuesday of last week after an illness of four days. His disease was congestion of the lungs.
Mr. Burlingame was born in New Berlin, Chenango County [NY] in 1822, but his youth was spent on the western frontiers, at one time acting with surveying parties, and at another participating in the making of Indian treaties, far beyond the confines of civilization. He laid the foundation of his education at the Branch University of Michigan, but, removing to Massachusetts, he entered Harvard University, where he received a degree in 1846. He studied law and practiced in Boston. In 1852 he was elected to the State Senate, and in 1853 was a member of the Convention for revising the constitution of Massachusetts. He was elected a representative from that State in the Thirty-fourth Congress; was re-elected to the Thirty-fifth, serving as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. He was also re-elected to the Thirty-sixth Congress, serving on the same committee. In 1861 he was appointed by President Lincoln Minister to Austria, and subsequently to China, which latter position he resigned in 1867 to accept a diplomatic appointment from China to the European Powers as well as to the United States.
As such Minister his career has given him a worldwide reputation. He had established commercial treaties with the United States Government, with England and France, and was perfecting the same arrangements with the Government of the Russian Empire, when death arrested his brilliant career.
Letters of condolence were sent by the Emperor and Empress of Russia to Mrs. Burlingame, who was with her husband.
