Deaths
ALLEN: In Detroit Michigan, October 8th, of dysentery, after a short illness, Amelia Maria [Allen], second daughter of Samuel P. and Harriet C. Allen of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], in the 31st year of her age.
In the religious order to which the deceased had become attached, she chose the vocation of a teacher, and for two years had been engaged as such near Montreal. In August last she went to Detroit and entered upon her duties with flattering prospects of usefulness. On Monday of last week her parents being notified of her illness, immediately left for Detroit, but a delay of trains prevented their arrival until Tuesday evening, a few hours before the decease of their daughter and only in time for a recognition. The disease had baffled the best medical skill and the tenderest care of loving associates. "Jesus receive me," was her last audible utterance before gently passing away. "In thought, in feeling, and in love, / Things do not perish, though they pass, / The form is shattered to the eye, / But only broken is the glass."
KNAPP: In Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], from drowning, Sept. 11th, Dwight Knapp.
Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY]: On Saturday morning the body of Mr. Dwight Knapp was found in the canal near the bridge at the Ames farm. To all appearances the deceased fell into the water while laboring under a fit to which he has been subject for some years. The evening previous he had been to this village and was seen to start for home about ten o'clock, which was the last seen of him until found. Mr. K. was a very quiet man and has for some years been a resident of different parts of the town.
Sherburne was startled last Saturday morning by the announcement that the lifeless remains of a man were floating in the Chenango canal. It proved to be Dwight Knapp, well known in this place. Mr. Knapp has for many years been subject to a kind of fits which had so operated on his mind as to weaken his judgment, and it has been thought unsafe by some of our citizens to allow him to frequent places where he would be likely to be injured or drowned in case he was overtaken by one of those sudden spasms. But as he was of a naturally quiet disposition, and extremely averse to restraint, no one was disposed to interfere with him. He probably, was wandering near the canal and fell in while insensible. He leaves a wife and several children who will be remembered by the community in their sad bereavement. [Sherburne News, Sherburne, NY, Oct. 19, 1872]
Death of Rev. J.L. Janes: A good man has been called from his earthly toils to his heavenly reward. He died the 4th inst. in Floyd, Iowa. He is well known in this county [Chenango Co. NY], having been a pastor for sixteen years of the First Congregational Church of Guilford. About one year ago he was here on a visit, and it is not after the lot of a minister to receive from all such hearty and affectionate greetings as Mr. Janes received form this people. He was, in the eyes of the people of Guilford, as near perfect as any man can be. According to an earnest request, I intend to preach a sermon on Mr. Janes, of which due notice will be given. The sad intelligence of his death made all the people mourners and the church with deep feeling and true sympathy passed the following resolutions.
Whereas: We have learned with deep regret that our former pastor, Rev. J.L. Janes who labored with us so many years, broke to us the bread of life, has been removed by death, therefore,
Resolved: That we acknowledge the goodness and justice of God in the death of our beloved teacher and pastor.
Resolved: That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the widow and children of the deceased, sorrowing most of all from the thought that we shall see his face no more in the flesh.

News Item
Bainbridge: Garred W. Jordan, of Otego, accompanied by a certificate stating that he was "strong and vigorous, did not drink to excess, etc." came to Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] last week in search of a wife. He visited several widows, but finally "lit" on a good-looking young Miss at the Beal House, who consented to marry the old man. A squire was called in, and on discovering that Mr. Jordan's last wife was yet on earth, refused to perform the service. The old man departed, vowing he would have a wife before he returned home.

Death
In this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], Oct. 5th, Gracie D. [Newton], daughter of Helen H. and Almira Newton, aged 16 months and 23 days.
Darling Gracie - little pet! / Hearts are sore, and cheeks are wet / With tears, that all unbidden flow / Because at home we miss thee so, / Miss thy voice that music made, / Miss the little crib where laid / Thy precious form / Miss thee everywhere we turn, / Loving, patient, little one.
But for thee there's not a doubt, / Clinging round our hearts about / Faith looks through the mystic veil, / And our hearts forget to wail / There transformed and glorified / Hovering near the Saviour's side, / Mingling in the spirit throng / With golden harp and happy song / Moves the one we called our own.

ALLFREY - UPHAM: In Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], on Tuesday, Oct. 15, by the Rev. T.P. Halstead, William Allfrey and Miss Minnie Upham.
A Nuptial: Mr. Editor: An allowance of a short space to my effusion will greatly oblige. I am pleased to announce through the "Press" the binding together of two youthful hearts in the bonds of matrimony in the persons of William Allfrey and Miss Minnie Upham. They started on a bridal tour the morning of the wedding - Tuesday - amid the congratulations of friends.
Sir William was a Knight, gallant and bold, / Who himself - as the old stories run - to Hymen sold, / His lady was merry with visage fair, / And was greatly praised for her flowing hair.
His heart was uneasy, it found no repose, / Through the sunny summer or cold winter's snows, / At last a banquet for him was spread, / For Minnie had vowed with him to wed.
Thus, in the young hearts love's seed is sown, / Planted in constancy, growing, never to be mown, / As down life's rugged path they lovingly go, / May they reap of the love they now happily sow.
Death
Mr. Stephen Harris was buried on Thursday last. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church in the neighborhood, and a large concourse of relatives and friends of the deceased assembled to pay their last respects to a man whom they had always held in high esteem and love. Mr. H. was in the prime of life, and a very estimable citizen. Always earnestly identified with the interests of his friends and neighbors, he will be sorely missed from among them.
