In Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], June 25th, Mrs. Harriet N. mosher, aged 66 years.
Died at Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], on the evening of Tuesday, July 1st, Dr. Blin S. Sill, in the 66th year of his age.
The deceased was a son of the late Andrew Sill of Burlington, Otsego Co. [NY]. He came to Bainbridge about the year 1837, and in company with Dr. S.W. Corbin commenced the practice of medicine. He then resided in the house now occupied by Henry A. Clark. He was a member of the regular profession of allopathic physicians and attended medical lectures in the city of Philadelphia. Dr. Sill had been twice married, first to Mrs. Lathrop of Sherburne, who died in this village some twenty-five years ago. He afterwards untied to Miss Jane Ann, daughter of the late Lockwood Chandler, of Bainbridge. He had three children by his first wife, only one of whom is living. Two sons are the fruits of his last marriage, both of whom are minor children. He was several times elected Supervisor of the town of Bainbridge and had been postmaster about five years at the time of his death. As a professional man he was one of the best road physicians in the country. He received a good academic education, with the expectation of becoming a minister of the gospel, but afterwards changed his purposes. He was a communicant of the Episcopal church and was for some time a member of the vestry. He was very much of a politician and was well versed in the political history of the country. He was a Jackson Democrat until about 1854, when he joined the then newly formed party, in which he has since been an earnest laborer. But few men were more widely known in the vicinity in which he lived, and he died generally respected. Bainbridge Review.
Sherburne News, Sherburne, NY, July 12, 1873
Deaths
PRINCE: In Brockport [Monroe Co. NY], on the 29th of June, Mrs. Philantha Prince, formerly of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY], aged 78 years.
The deceased left Sherburne about six years ago, where she had lived about 66 years. Her need of more constant attention than she could have from any but members of her own family, induced her to leave a place to which she was greatly attached. Her sight began to fail rapidly not very long after her removal, and for a few years before her death she was totally blind. At different times acquaintances from Sherburne have called to see her, and she was delighted with their visits. Mrs. Prince was for many years a communicant of the Episcopal Church. She lived and died in that faith which among other things teaches the dignity of the human soul, irrespective of the color of the body; that faith which accepts Christ as the Savior of sinners; the faith which for ages has been the portion of the wisest, the greatest, and the best, and which is derided by none of character and worth. He who said to the blind man "Receive thy sight," bade her look, though not through darkened windows, at the city which is paved with beryl and carbuncle and all precious stones, whose walls and towers are of finest gold, and whose light is clear as crystal - the light of the glory of God. She embraced with all her heart the promise which He hath given us, in the book valued and loved by all the pure and good, of "an abundant entrance into his everlasting kingdom," and when the Master came was found watching.
WILLIAMS: At Afton, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], on Sunday, June 22d, 1873, after lingering with consumption for fourteen months, Mr. Clement B. Williams, aged 28 years.
In early life he became a Christian and joined the 1st Congregational church of Coventry, N.Y., oif which he was a worthy and consistent member till death. He leaves behind an invalid widow and a large circle of friends to mourn his early departure, but what is their loss is evidently gain to him. When he came to realize that his end was near, the mysteries of death and of the spirit world awoke no emotion of fear. With clear mental vision, gently and sweetly he passed from earth to heaven. What was most remarkable in his life was his habitual patience and cheerfulness. Not a murmur escaped his lips, not a look of sadness, but full of hope, trust and comfort to the last. By prudence and diligence in business he had saved enough to purchase a village lot and build a comfortable dwelling in which to spend a quiet and happy life, yet he leaves it without regret because the Master calls him to a better mansion in the skies. And though that neat little house may be deserted for a while, yet what a monument to the worth of the departed, and what an example to our young people of what may be accomplished by an invalid couple in securing a home by steady habits and frugality, committing their way unto the Lord, "For them that honor me I will honor," saith the Lord.
Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, July 12, 1873
Marriages
In Deposit [Delaware Co. NY], July 1st, by Rev. J.N. Adams, Mr. C.O. Thorpe to Miss Josephine A. Vanderwerker, both of Afton [Chenango Co. NY].
________________________________
"Twas midnight's holy hour - and silence then / Was brooding like a gentle spirit o'er / The still and pulseless world."
The fact is, the Colonel is not accustomed to leaving his couch and all its comforts at that hour, but when he learned that a treaty of peace between two villages was to be signed, so to speak, when he learned that two of Cupid's victims were wounded and bleeding at his door; when he learned that at the threshold of his domicile waited a pair that was eager to become as "Two souls with but a single thought, / Two hearts that beat as one"
When he learned the nature of the call, he was not the man to turn a deaf ear. Accompanying the youthful and elated couple to the Atwater House, he pronounced before Mr. George Gale, of Sidney [Delaware Co. NY] and the much-married Mrs. Anna Fuller, of Bainbridge, that solemn, impressive and binding ceremony that forbade the bride the diversion to which she is so accustomed - that of marrying again, and that joined Sidney and Bainbridge in the "holy bonds of padlock."
Judging from the self-satisfied gleam on the face of the bridegroom, the roseate smile beneath the comely jockey of the bride, and the many tender looks and affectionate gestures indulged in on either side as they promenaded our streets, we have every reason to believe that they are unquestionably happy.
Deaths
