News Item
Messrs Editors: Permit me through the columns of your excellent paper to give to its many readers a sketch of one who has always been identified with Chenango County [NY] and its interests, having removed from the town of Conway, Massachusetts, in the year 1790. I have reference to the widow of Dr. Jonathan Johnson, who resides with her son, Homer Johnson, Esq., two miles south of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. She has just passed her 94th birthday in excellent health, retaining all of her faculties and performing her domestic duties, such as knitting and sewing, with as much care and skill as most of blooming maids, younger housekeepers. She takes a deep interest in all matters transpiring in our midst, and as the writer of these few lines spent a short time with her a few days ago, he could but think what a memory, and what changes have been wrought during his life. The history of our own village, its growth, and many changes, all are fresh in her mind, and she never enjoys herself better than when talking of those who started in life with her. Where are they? Visit our village cemeteries, there you will find their monuments, many of them have stood for fifty years. Such is life.

BACON: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], on the 6th, Mr. Thomas M. Bacon, aged 70 years.
Thomas M. Bacon died suddenly, of heart disease it is supposed, on Friday afternoon last, at the residence of his brother, Cyrus A. Bacon. He had been as well as usual that day, had been over to the store twice, and at about half past four sat in a chair at the house reading. Suddenly he complained of palpitation of the heart, and Mrs. Bacon stepped into an adjoining room for some camphor. When she returned his head had dropped to one side, and he expired soon after. Deceased was a widower, having lost his wife several years ago. He was 70 years of age last July. Previous to his coming to Oxford, about three years ago, he resided in Havre de Graco, Maryland. He was a member of the Maryland legislature several terms, principal of an Academy, and justice of the peace. He took an active part in politics, and about war times addressed many outdoor Union meetings. To this he attributed the partial losing of his voice with which of late years he had been afflicted.

MINER: In Coventryville [Chenango Co. NY], on the 17th inst., Mr. Warren Miner, aged 45 years.
Close upon our announcement of the sudden attack of paralysis upon our friend Warren Miner we are obliged to record his death. After every available effort had been put forth for his recovery, at half past seven Saturday morning the Grand Master came and claimed his victim, bowing in sorrow not only the immediate relatives of the family, but our whole community at large. Mr. Miner was one of our most prominent and respected citizens. Though a man of few words, he was a deep thinker and self-made man, and while there are none left to say aught of the man or his life, he possessed a very large circle of warm friends. At starting in life, he chose farming as his occupation, and that he was master of his business, his fine buildings and well tilled fields bear record. At the age of twenty-two years, he made a profession of religion, uniting with the Baptist Church of which he has since been a faithful member and though we deeply deplore his loss, we can but exclaim with the poet:
No passion fierce, no low desire / Has quenched the radiance of the flame, / Back to its God the living fire / Returns, unsullied as it came.
Following the death of Mr. Minor, we have to record that of Infant daughter of Mr. Eugene Hicks on Sunday the 8th inst., of inflammation of the lungs.
