 Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, November 20, 1873

Death

We have from two correspondents in Lincklaen [Chenango Co. NY], the particulars of a dreadful accident in that town, which occurred on Tuesday of last week, and caused the death of Mr. James R. Holl, a highly respected citizen of that town.  He was assisting a neighbor in butchering hogs, and while doing so, lost his balance and fell backwards into a tub of scalding water.  He was immediately rescued, and his clothes removed, but the skin came off with his clothing.  Medical aid was summoned, and everything done to alleviate his sufferings and save his life, but in vain.  After two days of excruciating pain, he expired.  He was 62 years of age, and leaves a wife, two sons, and a large circle of relatives to mourn his sad fate.  Mr. Holl formerly lived in Otsego County [NY].

Oxford Times, Oxford, NY, November 19, 1873

Deaths

FLETCHER:  In Preston [Chenango Co. NY], on the 11th, Mrs. Susan Fletcher, aged 67 years.

BURDICK:  In Guilford [Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 2d, Hazard Burdick, aged 90 years.

It is with sadness that we follow the pioneers of our loved Methodism to their last earthly resting place, and bid adieu to their familiar faces, and feel that we have heard their admonitions and counsels for the last time.  All honor to the veterans of the Cross.  Prominent among them has been the venerable and respected Isaac J. Stratton, Esq., of Oxford, Chenango County, N.Y.  For nearly seventy years a consistent member of the M.E. Church, his house was among the first preaching places in Chenango County and was always a pleasant home for the itinerant.  His sainted wife, a daughter of Deacon Punderson, an officer of the Revolution, was remarkable for her hopeful, loving, and cheerful Christian spirit, and made his home peculiarly attractive to the weary and discouraged heralds of the Cross. Brother Stratton was the main instrumentality in the erection of the first M.E. Chruch in Mcdonough [Chenango Co. NY].

The Church of his choice had a warm place in his heart, and he labored earnestly and successfully for the advancement of its interests.  Remarkably upright in his life, he commanded the respect and confidence of the community in which he was widely known.  His good judgment and extensive reading gave him a commanding influence among his neighbors, and he died as he lived, at peace with God and in favor with men.  Born in Williamstown, Mass., he came to Chenango County when the country was comparatively a wilderness, and made himself a comfortable home, from which he removed to the better country February 1, 1873, to rejoin the loved ones that had gone on before. After ninety years of life's enjoyments, sorrows, and tolls "he rests from his labors, and his works do follow him."  Rev. S.F. Brahan, in Church Advocate and Journal.

Marriage

O'CONNELL - RAFFERTY:  In this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], on Wednesday, the 19th inst., by Rev. Father Ludden, Wm. O'Connell and Mary J. Rafferty, all of Sherburne.

The wedding of William O'Connell and Mary J. Rafferty was celebrated in grand style.  The services were performed at the Catholic Chruch, by Father Ludden, in the presence of a large number of the friends of the happy couple, after which a splendid collation was served at the residence of the bride's mother.  In the evening the young people of the company repaired to Union Hall, where congratulations were exchanged, and Terpsichorean pleasures enjoyed until about 1 o'clock A.M.  A happier or better conducted marriage festival seldom occurs, and we congratulate the newly allied on their auspicious start on the journey of life.

Deaths

ROYCE:  In this town [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 17, 1873, David G. Royce, aged 70 years and 7 months.

David G. Royce died suddenly, at his residence in this town, on Monday, the 17th.  It was not noticed but that he was usually well up to the day of his death.  On the Saturday previous he was about attending to business and no complaint, as we learn, was made up to Monday afternoon when he entered his shop and on commencing work was attacked with apoplexy.  He was immediately carried into the house and placed upon a bed, and a physician sent for, but medical aid was unavailing, and he sank rapidly until about 8 o'clock in the evening when he expired.  Mr. R. came to this town from Connecticut about forty years ago, has been a member of the Congregational Church for many years, was an industrious and successful farmer, and respected in the community as an exemplary Christian and worthy citizen. The funeral took place on Wednesday and was attended by a large circle of friends who sincerely mourn the loss of a valuable though unpretending neighbor and friend.
