__________________________
Died in Afton [Chenango Co. NY], January 1st, 1875, Miss Mary King aged 35 years.
Sister King, when but a youth, embraced the religion of Christ, and from then until death adhered to that faith which she embraced when but a child, though her life has been one of almost continual suffering. When about 18 years of age she had a run of fever from which she did not entirely recover for about three years, though able part of the time to enjoy meeting with the children of God, which was esteemed by her above all other enjoyments. But her trials were not to end here, though for a time she was permitted to enjoy comfortable health. Between eleven and twelve years since, she was again afflicted by becoming a cripple for life. From that time, she was deprived of the use of her limbs and from that becoming entirely helpless and thus remaining for years not able to move a foot or hand sufficient to feed herself and knowing full well that she could be no better. She often expressed a desire to depart this life and be with Christ if it could be the will of God, always expressing a wish that God's will might be done, and patiently waiting for the end to come. Expressing her thanks for labor and care bestowed by the brothers and sisters in her years of affliction saying, "this is the only reward I have to give." She was always cheerful, not forgetting to invite those that from time to time were thrown in her company to seek that Saviour who she loved. she often spoke of the pleasure it gave her to think that in that world to come she should be freed from the pain that was put upon her here, and all would be joy, having full confidence that a happy future awaited her on the other side of the river. P.R. Newton, Afton, Jan. 5, 1875.

A sad affair was announced to our people Saturday morning, that Jacob Hizer, a well-known citizen of this place [Bainbridge, Chenango Co. NY], was found dead in his bed. He lives about two miles from the village and three quarters of a mile from the main road that leads to Deposit. It was noticed by some people that his stock was in a suffering condition, and thinking something was wrong, entered the house and found the man a corpse in his bed. Discovering blood about, they examined him and found that his foot was severely cut, and evidently came to his death by bleeding, the main artery having been severed. He is about 73 years of age and has for the last two years lived entirely alone. He probably was a corpse two days before discovered. His remains were brought to this village Saturday evening. His funeral sermon was preached in the Presbyterian Church, Sunday, at 1 p.m. by the pastor foo the M.E. Church.

LAMB - RUSSEL: In Peterboro [Madison Co. NY], Dec. 26th? by G.W. Coe, Esq., Mr. Harry Lamb of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] to Miss Lavilla Russel of Peterboro.
One of those pleasant gatherings known as Silver Weddings occurred on December 30th? last, at the residence of Mr. Y.E. Stowell, of Brighton, Monroe County. The occasion was more than a pleasant one and although the weather was cold, it was not disagreeable and nearly all the friends invited were present, many of whom were from Chenango County. At the appropriate hour the bride and groom of twenty-five years ago were escorted into a room by their son and daughter, acting as bridesmaid and groomsman, and the presents valued at nearly $130, presented to them with the compliments of their friends. With feelings too deep for utterance and eyes bedimmed with tears, they proved the old adage that "actions speak louder than words," and that the value of the presents was not engaging their attention, but that each separate piece was but a silver link in the friendly chain that showed them how strongly they were bound to friends. The presents were numerous and valuable, a very handsome tea set valued at $45 was among them. Mr. and Mrs. Stowell formerly lived near Mt. Upton [Chenango Co. NY] where they spent all except a few months of their twenty-five years of wedded life upon a farm. They moved to Monroe County last May to enjoy the fruits of their labor in that pleasant locality. The newly formed friends at the latter place joined heartily in the festivities of the evening, which all enjoyed. Many were the wishes that the happy pair might live to see their "Golden Wedding" and we add may they enjoy life in their new home as much during the intervening time as they have in time preceding among the hills of Guilford.

Guilford [Chenango Co. NY]: At no recent period have so many of our aged residents died as during the past few months. Scarcely a week passes that we are not called upon to perform the sad rites of burial service over the remains of some one of our old citizens. Within the past week, the funeral of another of our old and esteemed inhabitants - James Haynes - who died on the 1st inst. occurred at his residence in our village. His health has been feeble during the summer, but for some weeks past he appeared better, and until a relapse some days since, his friends had hoped of his recovery. Mr. Haynes has long been a resident of our village, and his sound judgment and liberal hand were ever found ready in aid of all worthy objects and undertakings. He was early connected with the building interests of our place, which for many years he successfully directed. Years past he received at the hands of his neighbors and townsmen repeated evidence of their esteem, in his selection for positions of public trust, and for many years was a prominent member of the Episcopal Church in our village. He was 74 years old, and leaves a widow, two sons and one daughter.

Since his retirement from his store, he has been engaged in peddling books throughout this and adjoining counties, thereby becoming known to a wide circle of acquaintances. He was a man of much energy of character, and his presence will be missed in the community in which he so long resided. He leaves a son and daughter.

She was an estimable lady, and her sudden death is deeply deplored. Oxford Times.
