"Fluttering spread the snowy pinions, / Of bright Angels round her bed, / To hear her soul to God's dominions, / When her form was cold and dead.
"Death to her was life in Heaven, / Life of never-ending bliss, / Life where joy and peace are given, / Life where naught is found amiss.
"She has passed death's frosty portals, / To a bright, eternal spring, / There to share in joys immortal, / Where the glorious Angels sing."
Mrs. Cornwell was universally loved and esteemed for her many amiable qualities and social virtues. Her death creates an irreparable void among a large circle of relatives and friends who mourn the early loss of her agreeable society and companionship.

At the time of her death, she was living at little Falls, where she was beloved by all who knew her.

Death
DANIELS: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], on the 9th, Mrs. Betsey Daniels, aged 77 years.
A sad affair occurred in this village [Oxford, Chenango co. NY] Monday at about 5 o'clock, P.M., and one which has cast a gloom over our entire community. Charles Ayrault, eldest son of Rev. Dr. Ayrault, went with two or three companions to the river to bathe. He could swim but a few strokes, and getting beyond his depth apparently became frightened, and struggled for shore. His companions made a desperate attempt to rescue him, but without success, and he sank suddenly. The place where the sad affair happened is just above the village and off Baldwin's flat, the water is very deep with a strong upper and under current. Charles was a bright, interesting boy, and very much respected by all who shared his acquaintance. His age was about 15 years. His parents, brothers and sisters have the heartfelt sympathies of our community. Up to the hour of our going to press the body had not been recovered.

Deaths
GIFFORD: In Elgin [IL], August 5, 1872, Mrs. Laura [Gifford] widow of the late James T. Gifford, Esq., aged 71 years and 8 months.
Mrs. Gifford was born in Sherburne, Chenango Co N.Y. int he year 1800, a daughter of Newcombe Raymond, deceased, and resided in that State until the removal of her family to Illinois. Her husband came to this State in 1834, and with that sagacity which characterized his life, selected the site for a town on the Fox river, in a line between Chicago and Galena. Here he made a claim and returned east for his family. With these he arrived at Elgin in the autumn of 1835 and built a log cabin at a point a few rods north of the present residence of G.B. Raymond, Esq. Here they resided for several years. Mrs. Gifford's hospitality and kindness made everyone welcome to her home, which is still remembered by not a few early settlers. Her house, for several years, was Post Office, justices' Office, Hotel, school and meeting house. Quite early in life, Mrs. G. was the subject of renewing grace and publicly professed Christ. She was one of the original members of the Congregational Church of this city, which was organized at her house, May 12, 1836. She had a deep interest in the prosperity not only of her own Church, but all others in the city, and her words of Christian counsel will long be remembered. Her children and grandchildren rise up to bless her memory, and a large circle of neighbors stood around her coffin with tearful eyes, feeling that they had lost a friend. Mrs. G. sought no place of public preferment, but a true woman, wife and mother, she graced her own home. Humble, pure and Christ like, she has doubtless been called to a seat near the Jesus she has so long and faithfully served. Elgin (Ill.) Gazette
WATERS: In Binghamton, N.Y. [Broome Co.], July 24, after a brief illness, Mr. Lewis J. Waters, aged 25 years.
Though the residence of Mr. Waters in our city has been short, less than three years, it was sufficient to secure for him a place in the confidence and love of many who mourn his early death. Much of his early life was passed in the village of Sherburne, where a portion of the family still reside. Here it was that, in early youth, he found Jesus precious to his soul, and put Him on in a public profession, by uniting with the Baptist churl. After becoming a resident of this city, his membership was transferred to the Baptist church here, and when his wife, who had for some time indulged hope, came out publicly and took her stand by his side, his earthly happiness seemed complete, and his spiritual strength was greatly increased. The several relations of life, as son, brother, husband and father, he not only filled, but adorned. Mr. Waters was an active and highly esteemed member of a battery of artillery, belonging to the 28th brigade of the Sixth Division of National Guards of the State. A detachment of the battery very thoughtfully and kindly accompanied his remains to North Norwich, where, after appropriate funeral services, conducted by his pastor from Binghamton, his remains were deposited in the beautiful and quiet little cemetery of that place. Unexpected as was the coming of the messenger, until within a few hours of his death, he was found ready to depart, giving the necessary directions for his funeral and taking leave of his friends with the utmost Christian resignation and fortitude, Sad and severe as is this blow to his desolate widow and little son, his fond parents and loving brother and sister, they cannot mourn for him as those who mourn without hope. His end was peace.
"He sleeps in Jesus and is blest, / How soft his slumbers are; / Where should the dying members rest, / But with their dying head."
Binghamton, Aug. 17, 1872
