Obituary - Ex-Sheriff Jason E. Matthewson
A Mount Pleasant (Iowa) paper of a recent date says of the late Ex-Sheriff Matthewson: That Jason E. Matthewson perished by the loss of the propeller LacLaBelle on the 15th of October 1872, on Lake Michigan is the now ascertained fact, which it becomes our truly mournful duty to announce.
When Mr. Matthewson set out on the ill-fated journey, his destination and route were contingent, and when the news of the disaster reached our citizens, they did not suspect that one of their number was on board. His name was found in a published passenger list, a painful anxiety arose which has at length given place to melancholy truth. Mr. Matthewson's known coolness, experience, judgment and courage, sustained under circumstances of shipwreck, by remarkable physical strength, flattered his friends with hope of some extraordinary deliverance. But it is ascertained beyond question that he was drowned. He leaves a wife and several children in Chenango County, N.Y., his youngest being a lad at school. Besides an insurance on his life, he leaves considerable property.
Mr. Matthewson has resided among us less than two years, but within that brief period, his upright, provident, scrupulous conduct, his ardent yet prudent personal attachment, and his unvarying courtesy toward all, have marked him as a recognized Christian gentleman especially among his brethren of the Masonic Order and those of the religious society with whom he worshipped, was he was esteemed a man of most amiable excellence. It is not over stating the prevalent sorrow to say that this community parts with him with that profound regret which betokens a real sense of the void, which only a citizen of uncommon qualities leaves behind him when he goes hence.

Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, December 7, 1872
An Accident occurred at the depot in Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] on Monday morning last, by which Dwight A. Kinney, of Paterson, N.J. was fatally injured. The particulars are as follows: A freight train started out of the Susquehanna Depot soon after two o'clock and was to arrive here and take a switch for the express going west to pass. For some reason the freight lost time, and when it arrived here the express was due. The engineer passed down by the switch nearly opposite the Spaulding house, and a brakeman turned the switch and gave the signal to back down. the engineer, it seems put on rather more speed than usual, thinking to get out of the way as soon as possible. The train, however, instead of being on the right track took the switch which led down beside the Erie freight house, on which a heavy train was standing. The result was the caboose of the freight train, in which Mr. Kinney was sleeping, was forced against the train, crushing the caboose and it is feared fatally injuring him about the groin and abdomen.
