CLARK: On the 20th of December 1871, at the residence of his son, Julius Clark, at West Hoboken N.J., where he was making a visit, Hon. James Clark, of South Otselic [Chenango Co. NY], in this county, in the 75th year of his age.
By this death, we lose another of the respected and venerable pioneers of our County, and who enjoyed the confidence of the community in which he resided for more than half a century. Mr. Clark was born in the State of Rhode Island, whence, when he was thirteen years of age, he came with his father to Brookfield, Madison County, where he resided until April 1820. He then removed with his wife and young children to the town of Otselic for his permanent home. That part of our County was then comparatively new and unsettled. For some distance Mr. Clark had to cut the road before him for his ox team and sled with which he brought his small family and possessions over the frozen crust to his new residence which was then in the woods three miles from his nearest neighbors, and where he settled down to the hard but manly work of the early settler, and reared a large family, all of whom have been active, respected and successful. from his early manhood, Mr. Clark was a consistent and influential member of the Baptist church, for nineteen continuous years he was a justice of the peace of his town, by successive elections by its citizens, and in the session of 1849, was an honest, efficient and useful Member of our State Assembly. In his earlier life, Mr. Clark was a Whig, and in full sympathy with the more advanced principles of the party. consequently, when that gave place to the Republican organization, he gladly became a member thereof, and, so far as his years permitted him, labored for the success and permanency of its measures, and doctrines. And now, after an active and laborious, a respected and useful life, he has passed away.
Rev. Horatius P. Bogue: Many of the citizens of this county [Chenango Co. NY], and especially of this village [Norwich], will remember Rev. Horatius P. Bogue, who for several years was pastor of the present Congregational Church, and whose death took place in Buffalo, on Sunday evening, January 15th, in the 76th year of his age. He had not been a pastor for several years but had often filled some of the pulpits of Presbyterian Churches in Buffalo. The deceased was born in Winchester, Conn., December 22, 1796, and graduated at Hamilton College, in 1820, and studied theology at Andover, Mass. He was licensed to preach by the Oneida Association and ordained by Otsego Presbytery in 1823. His father and grandfather were clergymen, and he has a son in the same sacred calling. A year ago, he attended the semi-centennial of his class at Clinton and was President. We believe he was first settled at Gilbertsville, where he remained eight years, and from there came to Norwich and remained four or five years. From here he removed to Vernon and then to Seneca Falls. In 1851 he went to Syracuse as the agent of the Society for ameliorating the condition of the Jews and removed to Buffalo in 1863.
Mr. Bogue was married in Bridgewater, Oneida county, in 1823, and was the father of five sons and two daughters. Of these, three are living - Edward A. Bogue, M.D., Rev. H.P.V. Bogue, and Mrs. Kate B. Moseley, of buffalo, at whose residence he died. A buffalo paper remarks that "the deceased was highly esteemed and much loved by his ministerial brethren. He was the nestor of the ministers' meeting and will be greatly missed from those gatherings, at which he was a constant attendant.
Mr. Bogue was prominent as a clergyman while in this region, and was a co-laborer with Rev. I.N. Sprague, of Sherburne, then a young man, Mr. Field, of Hamilton and Father Keep, of Homer. The funeral of Mr. Bogue was attended at Buffalo, on Wednesday last, the clergymen of several denominations officiating.

CUMMINGS: In Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], Dec. 27th, Mr. Alexander W. Cummings, aged 64 years.
BROWN: In Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], Jan. 12th, Della [Brown] only child of Edwin F. and Ulyssa Brown, aged 2 years and 9 months.
We miss him from his little bed, / We miss him from his chair; / We seek him in each empty room, / But cannot find him there.
We see his empty cradle stand, / His playthings useless lie; / His little clothes neglected lay, / And weep and mourn and sigh.
We see his hat upon its nail, / His little picture books; / On every hand we see his marks, / But O how sweet to look!
His morning song of infant glee, / We cannot hear it now; / Our silent house is desolate, / And we in grief must bow.
In dreams we see his beauteous form, / Imprint the tender kiss; / Awake to sorrows rugged truth, / And mourn the empty bliss.
When to the work we take our way, / His little feet no more / Go bid another fond good-bye, / Come running to the door.
And when we homeward turn our steps / With slow and mournful face, / In vain we search the windows o'er, / To see that smiling face.
And when we gently raise the latch, / No shout of joy we hear; / A solemn gloomy silence there, / Entreats the bitter tear.
Oppressed with heavy grief and woe, / A burden hard to bear; / In vain we seek our darling child, / We miss him everywhere.
But when this transient life is gone, / And earthly troubles cease; / If welcome then through grace divine / To those bright realms of peace.
Where nought of earthly grief or woe, / Our joys can o'er impair; / Blest with immortal bliss and life, / We shall not miss him there.

At a special meeting of the Rector, Wardens, and Vestry of St. Peter's Church, Bainbridge, diocese of Central New York, convened at the Rectory, Jan. 24th, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God, in His wise Providence, to take out of this world the soul of our deceased brother, David Johnston, Esq., for many years a faithful communicant and vestryman of this Parish, while we bow in humble submission to His Blessed Will, Who doeth all things well.
Resolved: That in the Christian cheerfulness and patience with which, during the long years from early childhood, he bore the cross, inscrutable Wisdom laid so heavily upon him; in the childlike simplicity and benevolence of his character - in his faithful performance of Christian duty - in his zeal for, and attachment to the church - we have an example, in all the relations of life.
Resolved, That the community have lost in him, an upright and worthy citizen, and the Vestry a zealous, and faithful member.
Resolved, That we extend to his afflicted family our tenderest sympathy and mingle our tears with theirs.
Resolved, That the chancel be draped in mourning, and the members of the Vestry wear the usual badge of mourning thirty days.
