From the Bainbridge Republican we learn that Frederick Miner, of Coventry met with a fearful accident a few days ago, which resulted on Tuesday of last week in his death. He was raking hay with a common revolving rake, to which was attached a spirited horse. One of the tugs became detached, giving the horse a fright and Mr. M. who had the lines about his body, was thrown with great violence on the rake one of the teeth piercing his thigh to the depth of six inches. He also received an injury on his head, which paralyzed one side of his body.
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, August 19, 1875: Coventry: Mr. Frederick Miner died on the 10th inst. It will be remembered that some three weeks ago he met with a fearful accident while raking hay. Some hope was entertained of his recovery until about a week ago, when, in spite of medical skill, he began to grow worse and rapidly failed each day, until death came with relief. On the 12th a large concourse of people gathered at the late residence of the deceased to pay their last tribute of respect. Mr. Miner was 62 years of age, born and reared in our town and lived to see a family of children all arrive at years of discretion and assume important and responsible positions in life. Mr. Miner was an unassuming, industrious man, temperate in his habits, practicing honesty and integrity in all his dealings and enjoyed in an eminent degree the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens. He will be sadly missed by his many friends. The Church of which he was a member has lost one of its strongest pillars and our community one of its best citizens.

DIED: At his residence in Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], on the 7th of August, Mr. Jesse Read, Sr. aged 76 years.
It seems eminently proper to pay a brief tribute to a man of the character of him whose departure is here reported, because of the possession of qualities of mind and heart entitling his character to notice. Respected through a wide circle of friendship for integrity, purity and simplicity, his departure out of life will be deeply felt in the community where he was so highly esteemed and known.
Mr. Read was born in New Hampshire, and at an early age engaged in business near Boston, where he remained six years. He removed thence to New York, in 1828, and in that city with Brooklyn as his residence, he was occupied in business until 1851, at which time he retired form the active pursuits of business.
During his residence in Brooklyn, he was twice elected Alderman and in the fulfillment of the duties to which he was called, he displayed that calm wisdom, clear integrity and business experience which showed him as well worthy of the suffrages of his fellow citizens.
Some years after withdrawing from business, he retired to farming life, and in the quiet pursuits of agriculture passed the latter portion of his days, content to forego the advantages and privileges of city life, for the quiet of a rural home.
All with whom he came in contact can testify to the purity, kindliness and integrity of his character. he was ever identified with efforts for the benefit of the town in which his home lay, and here, as Supervisor and in other capacities of trust, he had the evidence of appreciation of his character by his neighbors.
With a wife who was fitted to adorn a high sphere, by her grace and intelligence, he was engaged in the promotion of the welfare of the community in which he dwelt and in the interests of religion and education their united efforts were put forth. Some two years since, to the great loss of the home circle and works of usefulness, she passed away. They have left a family of four children, three sons and one daughter, who can look with pride upon the record of parents of such excellence and worth of character.
