Marriage
MARKWICK - GRISWOLD: At the residence of the bride's sisters, Hesperia, Mich. July 2d, by the Rev. M. Howard, Mr. Frank Markwick to Miss Abby Griswold, formerly of East Pharsalia, Chenango County [NY].
Deaths
We learn that Samuel Medbury, Esq., of Detroit, Mich., formerly of New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] died suddenly in that city on Saturday last. We have no particulars as to his sickness. His remains were brought to New Berlin on Tuesday and buried on Wednesday. Mr. Medbury had lived at Detroit for quite a number of years, and by his superior skill, tact and judgment at money making, had become one of the wealthiest men in Detroit, while in New Berlin though he always devoted himself strictly to his business affairs, he was honored by his fellow citizens with several local offices, among which was Supervisor of his town, a position which he filled with honor to himself and profit to his constituents. he was about sixty-three years of age.
We have before made brief mention of the death of Kansas City, of Dwight Barnett, nephew of E.B. Barnett, Esq., Postmaster of this town, and who some years since was a clerk in his uncle's store at this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY]. From the Oneida Dispatch we learn that Lieut. M.J. Barnett returned from Kansas City last week, where he went upon learning of the death of his brother, from whom the following particulars in regard to Dwight's death are received.
The deceased at the time of his death on the 17th of June, was engaged in the oversight of a dairy farm at Kansas City. He had ridden out to the farm about 6 o'clock in the afternoon as usual, and meeting one of the hands engaged thereon directed him in relation to some portion of the work. This the boy of some 19 years of age refused to perform, and afterward upon being told that unless he obeyed, he would necessarily be discharged, picked up a stone, and throwing it, struck Mr. Barnett upon the back part of the head. Although feeling the blow to be quite severe, he nevertheless retuned to his boarding place, probably altogether unconscious of its real severity, as without medical examination he retired to rest at the proper time. In the morning however, he was found dead, it being the supposition from appearances that he died about midnight, and it is inferred, in his sleep. A postmortem examination disclosed the fact that although the skin was not cut by the stone, the skull was broken, a portion of the same being driven inward, and thus causing his death. The young man is under arrest for the act. We are informed the removal of the remains to Oneida for interment at the proper season is contemplated. In their severe and double affliction, the family will receive the sympathy and friendly ministrations of our community. Dwight Barnett was in the thirty-third year of his age at the time of his death.

Marriage

Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, July 25, 1874
Death
CHASE: In North Afton [Chenango Co. NY], on the 20th inst., Mary J. [Chase], wife of James Chase, aged 39 years. The deceased was a worthy member of the M.E. Church in that place. She leaves a loving husband and only child, a little daughter three years old.
Although an invalid several years, so marked were the excellences of her character that her death is greatly deplored, not only by her own family and friends, but by all who had an acquaintance with friends, but by all who had an acquaintance with her. She possessed a vigorous mind and well cultivated intellect. By her undeviating adherence to her religious obligations and especially by her indefatigable, though unostentatious zeal for the promotion of her Master's cause, she demonstrated the genuineness of her Christian faith. On her dying bed this faith sustained her and enabled her to triumph over the last enemy. She died rejoicing and trusting in Jesus, many times exclaiming "Jesus is precious!" she requested a sister in the church, while standing by her bedside, after talking of her heavenly home and the bright prospects of the future when death had done its work, to close her eyes and prepare her body for its last resting place. May the surviving friends so live that they may die as peaceful and happy as the one that has passed away, and may a reunion be formed by and by that shall never be broken up in that beautiful world where sorrow shall never come. Afton, July 22d, 1874.
