The sweetest flowers must fade, / The brightest eyes grow dim; / That on which the heart is fondest laid, / is soonest called to Him.
In vain our hearts around them twine, / We would not call them back, / Although our hearts are bruised and torn, / And stretched upon the rack.
Thou art gone, our darling one, / Our lovely Myrtie's left our side, / To join her angel sister / Among God's glorified.
Too good, too pure for earth, / Thy Father called thee home; / Among the fields ambrosial, / Thou evermore wilt roam.

At Eau Claire, Wisconsin, April 23, 1973, Martin Daniels, aged 60 years.
Mr. Daniels was a brother of Asa M. Daniels, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. He was born in McDonough [Chenango Co. NY] in 1813. He spent his youth there and when at proper age entered the mercantile business which he followed for twelve or fifteen years, when he removed to Virginia where he engaged in the lumbering business. He subsequently resided in Ottawa and Minneapolis and finally removed to Eau Claire in the spring of 1859. In speaking of his death, the Eau Claire Free Press thus speaks of him:
"For the past ten years he has continually served the county as County Clerk and Clerk of the Circuit Court. For several months past Mr. Daniels has been laboring under some chronic affection of the great vital organs, caused, it is supposed, by application to confining occupation. His death, however, was not immediately expected till two or three o'clock this morning. He died at ten in perfect peace and happiness, retaining all his faculties to the last minute.
No man in the city was more universally respected and none more tenderly beloved. His untiring energy was united to a scrupulous honesty which made him one of the most trusty servants of the people, elected over to the same office without opposition, and to a gentleness of spirit, an exuberant benevolence and kindness, humanity and good nature, which made him an universal favorite with all who knew him.
Were all men as little capable of cherishing an angry thought and as ready to make good out of evil, there would be no necessity for those reforms of which the deceased was a uniform and consistent advocate."
The Index, published at the same place, says:
"He was always regarded as the most liberal man in proportion to his means, with which our community was blessed, never turning a deaf ear to the voice of charity. His moderate purse was always open, while his kindly words and expressions of solicitude for the needy were the fundamental principles of his religion. A man of exemplary habits, honorable, and upright in all business and social relations, our community will ever hold him in fervent remembrance, while his demise will be universally deplored by our entire populace whose servant he was, and whose faithful services overruled all political preferment and made him the universal choice of an appreciative constituency."
Mr. Daniels leaves a wife and two sons, one of whom Conway Daniels succeeds his father as County Clerk for the unexpired term.

Died in Hamilton, Madison Co. N.Y., May 2d, 1873, Augustus Simons, Esq., aged 82 years.
He was born in Connecticut, Litchfield County, April 8th, 1791, and in the year 1817, he, with his family moved to York state, town of New Berlin, Chenango County, crossing the North River at Hudson off a ferry boat propelled by horsepower. He was known as an upright and honorable man in his deal with his fellows; had a good business capacity and filled some important posts of trust.
In the spring of 1841, the deceased moved to Hamilton and was employed as steward in the boarding hall of the Madison University. In the fall of 1852 he and his son, E.A. Simons, purchased the old Mathew Calkins farm near South New Berlin. After staying at Hamilton a few years, he returned to New Berlin, his residence being the old Calkin's House, and while there enjoying the pleasures of past industry and hardships, his amiable wife was taken from him by death and her remains were deposited in the cemetery grounds at South New Berlin. Afterwards by request of warm and anxious friends at Hamilton, he again made that place his residence, and there remained in the midst of his numerous friends until he has passed away. He has been a devoted and consistent member of the Baptist church for about thirty-eight years and has gone down to his grave like a shock of corn fully ripe for the harvest by the side of his former deceased wife who are now again side by side in decaying dust, there to remain until the resurrection trump shall sound. Thus, passeth the old pioneers.
