The announcement of the death of this gentleman, although not unexpected, will cause a feeling of sadness with those of our citizens who have for several years past known him as a popular teacher of singing among the young people, to whom he was devotedly attached, and by whom he was beloved. For years past he has struggled against the advances of that fatal disease, consumption, and but a few weeks since, he gave up the unequal contest, and repaired to the home of his sister, in Masonville, there to await the summons of the dread messenger, for which he was prepared. On the 27th ult. his sufferings were ended, and his weary spirit was at rest. Agreeably to a request made previous to his death, his funeral was attended by his intimate friend, Rev. S.

WINSOR: In Mt. liberty, Ohio, January 18th, Miss Ellen L. Winsor aged 33? years, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].
Died in Sylvania, Lucas County, Ohio, James Percival, Esq. aged 84 years. The deceased was the son of John Percival, one of the nine revolutionary soldiers of the town of Lee, Berkshire County, Massachusetts. He was born in that town June 5th, 1788, and when he was eleven years of age came with his father who settled and cleared a farm three and a half miles west of the present village of Smyrna, on "the old turnpike." In 1805 he went ot live with Judge Abraham Romeyn, who had just started the "Western Oracle" at the Old Four Corners, where the building still stands in which was printed the first newspaper ever published in Chenango County. Judge Romeyn removed his printing office in 1806 to Manlius, taking his apprentice with him. He failed the next year and left his workmen to seek employment elsewhere. In 1808 young Percival found employment for a short time in Troy and afterwards in Stockbridge, Mass. Losing employment, he returned home and worked upon the farm until 1810, when he went to Albany and procured type with which he started the Republican messenger, at Sherburne, and had for a partner Jonathan Pettit, Esq., then a prominent lawyer in that village. The enterprise was no more successful than Romeyn's, and in a year, it was abandoned. While in Sherburne Mr. Percival was married to Miss Sarah Nichols, a stepdaughter of Eleazer Lathrop, one of the pioneers of the town. She was known sixty years ago to all Sherburne people and to some in this place. In 1811, in company with a brother, the late Samuel Percival, of Comstock, Michigan, he issued the Cortland Courier, at Homer, but in 1812 he was drafted as a soldier and went to the frontier at and near Sackett's Harbor. This interrupted his business as a publisher and he did not assume it again until 1817, when he started the Gazette, atFredonia, Chautauqua County. In 1821 he purchased the Moscow Advertiser and Genesee Farmer of Hezekiah Ripley, and after the location of the county seat at Geneseo removed the office to that place and changed the name of the paper to the Livingston Register and continued its proprietor until 1832. The paper supported the Bucktail Party until the Anti-Masonic excitement, following the Morgan outrage, swept like a tornado over Western New York. During this excitement, in 1830, Mr. Percival was elected to the Assembly from Livingston County by a very large majority. In 1838 he removed to Ohio and for a brief period conducted papers at Hamilton and Lancaster but the most of his time has been passed on a farm near the place where he died.
The deceased experienced some vicissitudes of fortune, but was always industrious and energetic, and until within a few days of his decease was in his accustomed health and attended to his usual business. He died peacefully in a firm reliance upon Jesus Christ as a Savior and giving very consoling evidence of his full preparation for the change. Soon after removing to Ohio, he was greatly afflicted by the loss of an only son, and a few years later by the death of an only daughter, the wife of Dr Van Fossen, now of Livingston Co. Mrs. Percival survives him, though for many years in feeble health, and during her remaining days will reside with relatives at Mansfield, Ohio. Mr. Percival was an uncle of Mr. Allen, one of the editors of this paper, who set his first type in the old Register office, at Geneseo.
Chenango American, Greene, NY, February 6, 1873
Marriages
At the residence of the bride's parents, Dec. 24th, by Rev. A.G. Clark, Mr. Mark J. Krough, of Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], and Miss Alice A. Miller, of Greene [Chenango Co. NY].
At Brisbin [Chenango Co. NY], Feb. 3d, by Rev. A.F. Brown, Mr. Leonard B. King, and Miss Mary E. McNee, all of Brisbin.
Deaths
In this village [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], Jan. 30th, Mrs. Martha Hill, aged 80 years. The deceased was the only sister of the Juliand brothers of this place, and has resided with her daughter, Mrs. Irene Nichols, in Greene, for a long series of years. Of a kind and gentle nature, she bore the infirmities of advancing years with Christian fortitude, faith and patient submission to God's will. Several years since under the influence of painful disease she seemed to recognize that the time of her departure had come, and calmly awaited God's summons hence, with uncomplaining submission. But God was pleased to prolong her life to the four score years, when as the Palmist declares our strength is but labor and sorrow. At the time of her departure to be with Christ, she was in usual health, having retired for the night with no unusual signs of coming dissolution, to waken in another world as we trust amid the joys of Paradise. Amid the kind remembrances of loving brothers and a devoted daughter she has passed away from our sight, leaving the fragrant memory of a gentle and beloved disciple of Christ, as a treasure to those that survive. "And so, He giveth his beloved sleep."
