Deaths
HICKS: In this town [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], April 22d, Ruth [Hicks], wife of Gurdon Hicks, aged 68 years.

CHURCH: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], April 29th, Mr. William H. Church, aged 50 years. Funeral services will be held at his late residence, on Friday, at 2 o'clock P.M.
As we go to press, we learn that another of our old residents has departed from among us. William H. Church has for many years been an active businessman in our midst and has done much towards increasing the growth and prosperity of our village. Upright and honorable in his dealings with his fellow men, quiet and unassuming in his manner, and applying himself strictly to his business, until disease crept upon him, he enjoyed the esteem of all who knew him, and his death, although not unexpected, will cause a feeling of sadness in the community in which he has so long resided. Deceased was the father of Dr. Charles A. Church and John W. Church, Esq., of this village. He died on Wednesday morning, in the sixtieth year of his age.
PHILLIPS: In Coventry [Chenango Co. NY], April 23d, Mrs. Lydia M. Phillips, wife of James M. Phillips, and only daughter of Col. Rufus Chandler, in the 48th year of her age.
In the death of Mrs. Phillips, a large circle of relatives and friends are called to mourn the loss of one of their number, who, by her many noble qualities of mind and heart, had won a large place in their affections. A true and noble Christian woman has gone to her reward. Though for many years a great sufferer, from a disease which a large portion of the time prevented her from participating in the more active duties of social life, for which she was eminently qualitied, yet her heart and hand were ever open to encourage and aid whatever tended to promote the interests of the community in which she lived, and especially of the Church of which she had from her early youth been a consistent and honored member. Her earnest prayer that she might have an easy and peaceful death was most signally answered. While for days her sufferings had been intense, her last hour was peaceful and quiet, and as the Summer cloud fades away, so she went quietly to her rest.

Robert T. Davidson
DAVIDSON: In Greene, on the 27th inst., Robert T. Davidson, Esq. of this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], aged 42 years. Funeral at his late residence on Wednesday at 10 A.M. [Oxford Times, April 29, 1874]
Our citizens were shocked on Monday morning last, by the announcement of the death of Robert T. Davidson, Esq., of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY], which occurred at the residence of his brother-in-law, Dr. Crandall in Greene [Chenango Co. NY], at an early hour that morning. Mr. Davidson was a gentleman widely known, and universally esteemed. While he will be missed by the people of his own town, there are many friends throughout the County who will sympathize with his afflicted family in their bereavement. We copy from the Oxford Times the following mention of his death, and tribute to his worth:
"We are very much pained to announce the death of our esteemed fellow citizen, Robert T. Davidson, which occurred at the residence of his brother-in-law, Dr. Crandall, in Greene, Monday morning last. Mr. Davidson went to Greene on Saturday evening, the 18th inst., and was taken ill soon after his arrival there. At first it was supposed that he was threatened with a fever, but the disease proved to be erysipelas which attacked the head, and grew worse until death resulted as above stated.
"In the death of Mr. Davidson, Oxford loses one of her most esteemed and public-spirited citizens. He was enlisted and freely gave his time and means to every cause and movement that was of benefit to our village, and his place cannot be filled. His high character and pleasant manners won for him the respect and confidence of our entire community and from the highest to the lowest of our citizens his death is deeply deplored.
"Mr. Davidson had held from time-to-time important town and village offices, and the duties were discharged with fidelity and sound judgment. From the time the Midland Railroad was completed to the town until within a few months, the deceased held the position of agent of this station, and the arduous duties of that office were conducted in a manner that made for him many friends from the traveling public and caused the utmost confidence to be placed in him by the officers of the road. Later he was appointed a special agent in the freight department of the road, which position he held until his death, and his personal solicitations in his affable manner added largely to the business of that department, from nearly every station on the line.
"Mr. Davidson leaves a wife and two children, besides an unusually large circle of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. In this, their sad hour of affliction and bereavement, the sorrow-stricken wife and children have the heartfelt sympathy of our entire community."
