Another Pioneer Gone: Capt. James Thompson died at the residence of Herbert Hunt, in the east part of this town, on Monday last, at the advanced age of ninety years. The deceased came to this County from Connecticut when a young man and settled upon the farm now owned by Edwin Grant [in 1873], where he remained throughout an active life, and until the weight of increasing years called for his retirement. An upright man, unassuming in his manner, he enjoyed the esteem of the community in which he had so long resided, and he goes to his rest respected by all who knew him. In politics he was an unswerving Democrat and has been a patron of the Union since its first issue, as he was for many years previous a reliable friend of the Journal, its predecessor. An aged widow, his second wife, survives him. The funeral will be attended today (Thursday) by the Masonic lodge of this village, of which he has long been a member.

We last week briefly noticed the fact that a laborer named Thomas Demstead was seriously, if not fatally, injured by the falling of a tree while chopping, near Beaver Meadow [Chenango Co. NY], on Wednesday morning of last week - one leg and an arm being broken and otherwise injured, requiring amputation. The unfortunate man died shortly after the operation.
We have just learned of the sudden death of Mr. J.N. Holt an old citizen of the town of Columbus [Chenango Co. NY]. It seems that evening meetings are being held at South Edmeston [Otsego Co. NY], and that Mr. Holt, who resided something over a half mile from that place, attended on Wednesday evening last, and after the close, walked home, in apparently good health. He entered his house, and his wife asked him if it was not pretty cold. He answered her and stepped in front of the looking glass and combed the ice and frost from his whiskers and had hardly turned around when he fell to the floor, and immediately expired. Mr. Holt was somewhat advanced in years, and was rather a spare, thin built man. Still, we believe he had usually enjoyed good health. New Berlin Gazette
Smyrna: Mr. Franklin Jaqueth and wife lost a little boy on Friday. He died quite suddenly, and it is supposed of heart disease, with which the mother is afflicted. He was a beautiful looking boy of eight months. "Of such is the kingdom of Heaven."

DIED: At his residence near Mathewson's pond on Saturday March 9th, William Guilfe aged 89 years. Mr. Guile as born in Saratoga, Saratoga County, N.Y., January 21, 1784. He was born and reared upon the grounds occupied by the Revolutionary army at the surrender of Burgoyne. His youth was spent among lumbermen and raftsmen on the upper Hudson. In 1806 he was married to Mary Lattimore whom he survived 13 years. In the season of 1809, he moved ot the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] onto the farm now occupied by Wm. Jones near Mathewson's pond [in 1873]. In 1812 he moved upon the farm and erected the house in which he lived until his death. His family reared to man and womanhood consisted of five sons and two daughters, of whom only three, the youngest survives him. His second son, Wm. Guile Jr., enlisted, and served in the Mexican war in the company in Stephenson's regiment raised and commanded by Capt. K.H. Dimmick of this village. He died at Benicia, Cal. in 1851. Nathan D., the next younger served in the late war in a Pennsylvania regiment. He received a wound in the head at the battle of South Mountain, from which he never recovered, and died before the close of the war. In his politics Mr. Guile was a Whig and then Republican and he always adhered with great tenacity to his political opinions. He became a subscriber to the Telegraph at its commencement and continued his subscription until his death. He was a carpenter by trade, a peace madder among his neighbors, a friend to all, and an honest man. His decease leaves the place of one more pioneer vacant and severs another link in the chain which binds the present to the past generation. May his successors as worthily fulfill the mission of life as he did.

"Jesus is the Shepherd; / If a lamb he bear / Unto higher pasture, / Into purer air, / Should the flock that missed it / Vex itself with care?"
"Then the little lambkin / Nothing shall distress; / There no cold shall chill it, / There no heat oppress; / There no wolf shall enter, / Wearing shepherd's dress."
"In the garden yonder, / Eden of the blest, / We shall find the blossoms / We have loved the best; / We shall find our beautiful lambkin / Safe on Jesus breast"
