MILNE: In Corning [Steuben Co. NY], Dec. 18th, Mr. David Milne, aged about 40 years, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].
A dispatch from Corning, on Friday morning of last week, announced the death of David Milne, at his residence in that village. Deceased will be remembered by many of our citizens as a former resident of this village, he having for two years capably filled the position of superintendent of Messrs. Hayes & Rider's gas works. Three years ago last spring he removed to corning, where he has since resided, in charge of the gas works in that place. Although we are without particulars as to the cause of his death, we learn that it resulted from a surgical operation for the relief of a painful and aggravated disease from which he at times suffered much while a resident here.
The announcement of the death of Mr. Milne was received with profound sorrow by his many friends in Norwich, but to those who knew him intimately, who had learned to esteem him for his many excellent qualities, the sad news came with painful force. Courteous in his deportment, gentlemanly in his intercourse with all, a genial companion and a large-hearted friend, generous to a fault, he leaves behind him, here and elsewhere, hosts of friends in whose hearts his memory will be ever cherished.
An estimable widow and a large family of children survive him, who have the sympathy of all who know them. Funeral services were held on Sunday and the remains were taken to Hornellsville [Steuben Co. NY] for interment.

PACKER: In Preston [Chenango Co. NY], Dec. 16th, Mr. William Packer, aged 87 years.
At the time of our going to press on Wednesday afternoon of last week, we had barely time to briefly mention the death of the venerable William Packer of Preston which occurred on that day. A friend of the deceased, who has known him long and intimately, has favored us with the following sketch of his life.
Deceased was born in Guilford, Vermont, July 10th, 1787, and moved to Preston, N.Y. in 1804 in which town he has ever since resided. July 1st, 1800, he married Abigail Mason of DeRuyter with whom he congenially lived until March 24th, 1860, when death separated them. Two sons and two daughters were born to them, the youngest of the daughters dying in youth and the eldest at middle age. The two sons yet live to guard the handiwork of the father.
An early settler in his town, the deceased took an active part in the various interests that arose, both public and private. He was a convivial man with those whom he met, was never without his trite story or pithy anecdote, and had always a good word for every man. He was never without his plans of business, which he pursued to the day of his death, with such success as attends the man who applies himself to the pursuits of life. With a clear head, unceasing energy and indomitable perseverance, he had accumulated a competence, which was not hoarded up for private use, as the public well know. He gave from time to time such sums as were quite acceptable, for the purpose of building churches, the support of the missionary cause, and the spread of the gospel at home. That he always gave for the cause of Christianity, I may mention the fact stated to me by a well-known clergyman, that he himself had many times called upon him within the last twenty years, for various benevolent and charitable purposes, and that he had only to state distinctly the cause for which he solicited and the contribution was at once forthcoming.
Having embraced the cause of his Redeemer at an early period of life, he was always ready and free to give his views on the subject of Christian religion, which he followed through life according to his own light and understanding of the principles set forth in Revelation, without accepting the dogmatic teachings of any. He was a man who always did his own thinking.
That he was peculiar is true, yet he was not eccentric. He was of a family of which a large percentage were consumptives, yet with abstemious habits, strict temperance, and a large amount of outdoor life, he lived to four score years and more. Having fulfilled his mission in life, the silver cord was at length loosed and he died having full faith in his Redeemer, quietly resigning his soul to God and biding his attendants "Good by-good by."

RACE: In Union City, Mich. on 1st, Lucius A. Race son of J.N. Race, formerly of Brisben [Chenango Co. NY].
William Combe, of Jordan [Onondaga Co. NY], a veteran of the war in 1812, well known in central New York, died a few days ago, at the residence of his son, in Arlington, Mich. He was born at Springfield, Otsego County, N.Y. in the year 1796. His father, Samuel Combe, was at that period a conspicuous figure on the border and later with his six sons, all giants, mingled in the conflicts of those periods, and left marks remembered for many a year. William Combe entered Captain Harris' company of United States light dragoons, participated with Scott at Chippewa, Lundy's Lane and Fort George, was at Niagara, Queenston Heights, Sackett's Harbor and Sandy Creek. At the close of the war he settled in Jordon, Onondaga county, N.Y. but always restless he "did not wish to die a natural death, but at the point of the bayonet." In the late war, his sons entering the army, he, an old man, shouldered a musket, and participated in the great battel of Antietam "to throw his life away," as he said, but the death he desires was not his fate. One brother only of the band of six survives him (Charles), a resident of Brooklyn, two years his senior.
