Chenango American, Greene, NY, December 2, 1875
Death
One of the passengrs on board the ill-fated steamer Pacific, which was lost a few days ago between Victoria and San Francisco, with all on board, was Mr. J.D. Cowles, of Greene, Chenango Co., N.Y. Only those who in their schoolboy days have had a companion they loved as a bother can imagine our feelings when we learned the startling intelligence. "Dallie" was one of those with whom we formed a strong attachment in our boyish days, and although years have passed since last we met, that attachment was never weakened. His untimely end has cast a gloom over us; it calls up the boyish face and laughing eye, the last impression he left on our mind. Ah well, such is life. Who knows which of us will be called next.

Deaths
Sidney Plains (Delaware Co. NY]: We lament the loss of one more of our old citizens. Last Friday morning Deacon W.A. Hutchinson breathed his last. He leaves a great many friends to mourn his loss. His remains were taken to Columbia County for burial.
On the 14th ult. at midnight, Joseph W. Freiot, M.D., a venerable citizen of this place, suddenly departed this life on the 74th anniversary of his birth.
Dr. Freiot was born in Pittstown, Rensselaer County, N.Y., Nov. 14th, A.D. 1801, and died at his home in Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 14th, 1875, his mortal days consequently numbering more than the three score and ten years which the Psalmist mentions as the limit beyond which but few men pass.
Dr. Freiot studied medicine and graduated under the distinguished Dr. Valentine Mott, of New York city. He entered upon his professional career in New Orleans, and afterwards established himself in the practice of his profession in the city of Troy, N.Y., where he remained until he removed to Bainbridge. At Bainbridge, agriculture chiefly engaged his attention.
Dr. Freiot outlived six of his children, and died leaving a widow, a son and daughter, and several grandchildren to mourn his loss.
During the latter years of his life his mental powers were impaired by disease, but his affections remained as strong and active as ever.
In the year A.D. 1859 Dr. Freiot received the Rite of Confirmation at the hands of Bishop DeLancey, and became a communicant of St. Peter's parish, Bainbridge, and on the 16th day of last month, by the present rector of that parish, and in the presence of his brethren and neighbors, his mortal remains were committed to the earth in St. Peter's Church cemetery, in the hope of a coming resurrection unto eternal life.
