Nathan Randall died recently between Panama and Guatemala, while enroute to the latter place where he was building a railroad to San Jose. For many years Syracuse [Onondaga Co. NY] was his home, but more recently he has been a resident of New York City. It was only a few months since that his father died at Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] at the advanced age of about 95 years. His own was near 65. Nearly fifty years ago, when Chauncey Morgen was the printer and publisher of the Oxford Gazette, in this village, the deceased was its post boy. He learned to be exact and businesslike, punctual and energetic in the battle of life, and was not on the losing side. By the labor of his own brain the newsboy in the present age of steam and electricity, became one of the most intelligent of men on railroad subjects, and was largely engaged in contracts for their construction.
" The busy worlds hoves angerly aside / The man who stands with arms akimbo set, / Until occasion tells him what to do / Our time is one that calls for earnest deeds"
