GANUNG:  Suddenly, in New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY], Oct. 26th, Mr. Benjamin Ganung aged about 60 years.

Benjamin Ganung, aged about sixty years, died suddenly at the residence of his brother Gilbert, on the Great Brook in New Berlin, on Tuesday evening of last week.  He had been engaged in drawing wood during the afternoon, apparently in his usual health.  After eating a hearty supper, he did the chores about the place, and starting to catch a horse in a lot nearby, he returned to the house, saying his work was about done.  He was immediately taken with vomiting, and fell to the floor, from which he was raised and placed in bed, where he died within ten minutes from the time he entered the house, it is supposed from disease of the heart.  Deceased was well known in this vicinity, having for a long time made it his home with Homer Johnson, in East Norwich.

We are this week obliged to add another to the list of sudden deaths in this vicinity.  Mr. Benjaman Genung died very suddenly on Tuesday evening last.  It seems that for a short time past he had been stopping with his brother who resides on the Mayhew farm, on the Great Brook, in this town [New Berlin, Chenango Co., NY], for the purpose of assisting in doing the work, the brother having been in feeble health for some time. Benjamin went about his usual labor in the forenoon of the day that he died - drew several loads of wood - piled up wood, &c, and just at night picked up a halter for the purpose of catching a horse that was running out, and had gone but a short distance when he dropped it and went into the house and sat down in a chair and remarked that "he guessed his work was about done," commenced vomiting, and in ten minutes he was a corpse.  Mr. Genung was about sixty years of age.  New Berlin Gaz.

WOOD:  In Guilford Centre [Chenango Co. NY], Oct. 20th, Clara [Wood] wife of Aser Wood.

Died, in Guilford Centre, on the 20th ult.  Clara, wife of Azer Wood.  Mrs. Wood was a daughter of Daniel Savage, one of the first settlers of this town, and had always resided here. [Oxford Times, Nov. 5, 1873]

PEARSALL:  In Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], Oct. 24th, Polly Jane [Pearsall] wife of Hon. Charles Pearsall, aged 60 years.

Death of Hon. Samuel Gordon:  We had barely time as we went to press last week, to briefly announce the death of this gentleman, which occurred at his residence in Delhi [Delaware Co. NY], on Tuesday morning of last week.  His age was 72 years.  Deceased was a prominent member of the Bar of Delaware County, and in the earlier part of his life was District Attorney and Member of Assembly for his County.  In the years 1841, 1842, 1845 and 1846, he was a Member of Congress.  In politics he was Democrat.  During the war he received the appointment of Marshal for this Congressional District, with his headquarters in this village. for a number of years past his health has been feeble, preventing his engaging in active business.  The special Term of the Supreme Court in session at Delhi, Justice Balcom presiding, adjourned out of respect to his memory, and a meeting of the members of the Bar was held at the Court House on the evening of the 29th ult., to adopt resolutions expressive of their regard for the memory of the deceased, and in condolence with his family in their affliction.
