TEMPLE: In McDonough [Chenango Co. NY], April 10th, after a lingering illness, Anna [Temple], wife of Robert Temple, aged 37 years, 2 months and 23 days. The deceased was born in Castleblayney, Ireland, enjoying in her own country privileges of education and society of which few could boast. She came to this country and made it her home when quite young, and in early life gave her heart to the Savior, uniting with the Methodist Episcopal Church. In every relation of life, as a wife and mother, and as a Christian, she was exemplary, deeply attaching herself to her family, and gaining the love and esteem of all who knew her. A light has been extinguished in her household that can never be replaced. The deep sorrow that rests upon the heart of the husband, and upon the hearts of the children, the sympathy and kind words of friends may relieve, but can never remove. "I am weary, oh how weary," / Oft would her feeble voice declare; / But now her spirit reigns in glory - / No pain or suffering enters there.
A shocking accident occurred in North Pharsalia [Chenango Co. NY] on Sunday afternoon last, by which Sherman J. Barlow, a young man about eighteen years of age, met a frightful death. It appears that a large hawk had been seen hovering around the premises, and young Barlow got his rifle and started out to shoot it. This was early in the afternoon, and no fears were entertained in regard to his safety until evening, when some younger members of the family were sent to see what had become of him. He was found some considerable distance from the house, dead. An examination showed that he had been shot, the ball having entered between the eyes, and passed out at the top of his head. An inquest was held on Monday by Coroner Ormsby and a verdict rendered that he came to his death by the accidental discharge of his gun.

Deaths
HUFFMAN: In Preston [Chenango Co. NY], March 16th, Johnny [Huffman], son of Martolo and Lucy M. Huffman, aged 4 years. A child of rare promise and uncommon sweetness has been called away. Sadly, indeed will he be missed from the household whose happiness he so largely made, yet they know it is well with him, and in that assurance will find consolation in their loneliness and sorrow.
"Who would not go, / With buoyant steps, to gain that blessed portal / Which opens to the land we long to know? / Where shall be satisfied our souls immortal, / Where we shall drop the wearying and the we / In resting so?
"Oh dear one there, / Whose voice now hushed, hath left our pathway lonely, / We come ere long, your blessed home to share, / We take the guiding hand, we trust it only / Seeing by faith, beyond this clouded air, / That land so fair!"

Death
The Rev. A.M. Bennett formerly resided in this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY] and preached in the Baptist Church on Page Brook [Chenango Co. NY].
To the editor of the Utica Daily Observer.
At the close of afternoon service at the Baptist Church in this village [Holland Patent, Oneida Co. NY], it being rainy and extremely difficult for those without conveyance to go away, Mr. Edmund Morris, of South Trenton, being present, kindly volunteered to convey the officiating clergyman (Rev. A.M. Bennett) and family to their home. Just as they had taken their seats (Mr. and Mrs. Bennett and their four daughters), the team became frightened, probably at umbrellas, and dashed off at a furious rate. Within a few rods the wagon came in contact with a shade tree, the concussion being so great as to precipitate all the occupants with great force to the ground. And sad to relate, Miss Anna [Bennett] aged about 11 years, was so injured that she died in about two hours. Mrs. Bennett and two other daughters were also somewhat bruised, but it is hoped not seriously. Mr. Morris was thrown with such force as to dislocate his shoulder. The accident happening in front of the residence of Dr. Crane, the injured were removed to his house, who, assisted by Dr. Wolcott, were unremitting in efforts to relieve; but, alas, in the case of darling little Anna, the favored in all circles, all was vain. Anna, though but a child, possessed a kind, pure, and noble spirit, and the decree which so suddenly summoned it away, though at first view seeming harsh, yet to those who look at the event through an undoubting belief in the wisdom ad goodness of Him who holds in His hands the destiny of all, on second thought must regard it "all for the best." May the afflicted parents derive consolation from the assured hope that their darling child has entered upon a career where can come no footsteps of decay or suffering, and where unfading joy forbids the approach of sorrow.
Holland Patent, March 13, 1871.
