RIGGS: At Rutherford Park, New Jersey, on the 4th inst., Marcus C. Riggs, in the 53d year of his age.
Our obituary column this week contains the notice of the death of Marcus C. Riggs, Esq., of New York. His death however, occurring at his country seat. Mr. Riggs was well known here, having some years ago married Miss Margaret Gorton, since which time he has made annual summer visits to our village. He was a man of no ordinary mark and was distinguished for his persevering attention to his profession, that of the law, which he had followed for over twenty years in New York City. In all his social and business relations he left the stamp of an open hearted, generous, whole-souled integrity, and Christian philanthropy. He will be missed greatly by his many friends, and all who knew him here will unite in condolence and sympathy to the bereaved wife in her affliction.
SPALDING: In Pitcher, N.Y. [Chenango Co. NY], Mrs. Clarissa Spalding, aged 70 years. She was a warm hearted, loving Christian woman and will be greatly missed in the family and in the town where she has been a resident for 53 years. A little over a year ago she was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist church in this place. She has left behind her a pure Christian record. She was a woman of more than ordinary intelligence and a diligent student of God's Holy Word. She had a firm, unshaken faith in Christ, and died in hope of a glorious resurrection. Her pastor preached her funeral sermon from the text. In Rev. 14th chap. 13th verse, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, &c." she has left a sweet influence behind her.
DIED: In Guilford [Chenango Co. NY], on Wednesday, Jan. 6th, William Baldwin, aged 76 years 26 days.
Mr. Baldwin was well known in Chenango County and his death calls for more than passing notice at our hands. He was born in Litchfield County, Connecticut, Dec. 12, 1798, where he spent his boyhood, upon his father's farm and attending school. Later he became a teacher, an occupation which he successfully followed until 1824, when he moved to Guilford, where he has resided ever since. For half a century he has been identified with the interest of the town, never failing to perform his whole duty in every department in which he found room to work. In all public affairs, whether of Church or State, no one was at fault to know where William Baldwin stood. He was earnest and outspoken, and failed not at all times to cast his influence in favor of the right. In his business matters he has always been upright and honest, his word being recognized by all who had dealings with him as always reliable, in fact as "good as his bond." In politics he was a Whig, afterwards a Republican and as such a firm and ardent supporter of the Government in its time of peril. In our boyhood days we knew him well, and since, we have been indebted to him for many valuable suggestions which we shall ever treasure as the legacy of a true and worthy friend. He has been often honored by his neighbors and friends with official positions, and he never failed to fulfill the most ardent expectations of all.
One of the pleasant things of his latter days was that he had lived to see his son, George H. Baldwin, Esq., attain to position and honor in his native town, and that both had been able to contribute something towards its growth and development.
But he has passed away, after fifty years of service within our borders, service not for himself alone but for the common good of all. Like the fully ripe corn he has yielded to the sickle of Time, and his memory is honorably borne upon the hearts of all, who knew him.
