In Rathboneville, Steuben Co. [NY], Sept. 10th, Mr. James E. Case, son of Austin Case of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].

A dispatch from Rathboneville, Steuben County, on Tuesday of this week, announced the death of James E. Case, formerly of this village. Mr. Case was prostrated by a fever some four weeks ago, but after a time so far recovered as to be able to go out, but unfortunately had a relapse, which terminated fatally.  Mr. Case was a son of Austin Case, of Norwich, and had spent nearly all his life among us.  About a year and a half ago he was married to a daughter of J.R Wheeler, Esq., of this town, and shortly after removed to Rathbonville and engaged in the lumber business.  He was one of our most estimable young men and was universally beloved.  His death has cast a shade of gloom over the entire community.  The remains reached this village on Wednesday morning and the funeral services will be held at the residence of his father, on South Main Street, on Thursday afternoon, at 3 o'clock.  His funeral will be attended by the Masonic Fraternity, of which he was a member.

Died, at Linwood, near Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 9th, 1872, Julia Mead Jeffery, wife of Rev. Reuben Jeffery, D.D., Pastor of the First Baptist Chruch of Cincinnati, aged 44 years.

Mrs. Jeffery was the daughter of Hon. John F. Hubbard, Senior, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].  She was married to Mr. Jeffery, who was then just entering upon his ministry, in 1848, and afterward resided with him during his pastoral labors in the several cities of Albany, Philadelphia, Chicago and Cincinnati, in each of which she made numerous warm and devoted friends.  She was in all things, but especially in Church, family and social life, a noble and truly Christian woman.  This probably is her greatest praise, yet those who knew and were endeared to her in the relations of father, mother, husband, children, and brother, will hold her memory ever green and fragrant, because of her domestic virtues, and her pure, constant and unselfish love.  Peaceful and happy be her rest!  Besides father, mother and brother, now living, Mrs. Jeffery leaves a husband and six children, the youngest of whom is about nine years of age.  The remains are expected in Norwich for burial, on Friday morning of this week, and if they so arrive, the burial services will probably take place on the afternoon of that day, at the residence of Mr. Hubbard, on North Main Street.
