CHACE:  In Preston [Chenango Co. NY], May 24th, Widow Anna W. Chace, aged 92 years.

She, with her husband, the late Capt. David Chace, moved into Preston about seventy years ago, and she lived and died on the farm her husband purchased sixty-six years ago. She lived to see the County and town in which they first settled, changed from a howling wilderness to green pastures and beautiful meadows.  She possessed great physical strength and endurance, for during the clearing of the first fifty acres of their farm, she attended to her household duties by day, and assisted her husband by night in burning logs and brush.  she leaves two sons and one daughter to mourn her departure, yet they mourn not like those who have no hope of meeting in a higher life.  Mrs. Chace lived to do good.  Liberal in her religious opinions, she always felt it her duty to help the poor and unfortunate. Always calm and confiding, she looked upon the bright side of life, and was cheerful and happy.  Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends, who came out to perform the last duty we owe our departed ones.  Sermon by Rev. A.G. Clark, of DeRuyter.  Text, 2d Cor. 5th chap., 1st verse.

Our community was shocked on Monday morning, by the announcement that the estimable lady of Orra M. Hughson, Esq. formerly of the Hughson House, now Eagle Hotel, in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], died on Sunday evening, at their residence in Binghamton [Broome Co. NY].  She had passed through confinement a few days previous and had not been doing well since.  Her remains will be brought to this village on the Wednesday morning train from Binghamton, and a procession formed at the depot, from whence it will move to the cemetery, where brief services will be held.

The sad announcement of the death of Mrs. O.M. Hughson, reached here by telegraph on monday morning, and was a painful surprise to the community.  Her death took place on Sunday evening last, a week subsequent to confinement.  Mrs. H. came to this village on her marriage, six or seven years since, and resided here until last year when the family removed to Binghamton.  She was a member of the congregational Church, a faithful teacher in its Sabbath School, and won the esteem of a large circle of Friends to whom her sudden death will bring very sincere sorrow.  [Chenango Telegraph, June 5, 1872]

PERCIVAL:  In Cleveland, Ohio, April 26th, Lucy L. [Percival] widow of the Denman Percival, formerly of Morrisville [Madison Co. NY], aged 56 years.

SIMONS:  In the village of Holmesville [Chenango Co. NY], May 24, Luella Simons, daughter of E Simos, Esq., and wife, aged 11 years.

At this youthful age, Luella had given her soul to her Saviour.  Last winter she was baptized and united with the Baptist church in South New Berlin, and for the short time she remained with us, she was an active worker in the church and sabbath school.  Beloved of all who knew her, and calmly anticipating her departure, she left on earth an unstained memory, and drew closer still to the side of her Saviour.

Shining in a sky of trouble / Up above the clouds so far / Sprinkling light on dreary pathways / Was a sparkling little star. / Storm ne'er marred its brilliant beauty, / Dust ne'er stained its smiling face, / Brighter grew its light and glory, / Lovelier, heavenlier, shone its rays.

In life's vale of tears and sadness / Did our astral beauty light; / And we called it cheering angel / To our soul in sorrow's night. / Happy hopes glowed in our spirits, / As we bore declining years, / That our star would be a sunshine / Painting rainbows in our tears.

But the dawn of heaven appeared. / Where before the star had shone, / And the sun of glory dazzled / From above Jehovah's throne. / In its light our star is hidden, / And we've lost our angel gem, / Buried in the immortal Lustre / of the Star of Bethlehem.
