Otselic Centre [Chenango Co. NY]: Another family has been smitten by the hand of death, and the sacred altar is now draped in mourning. Hearts of friends and relatives are borne down heavily with sorrow. The lamentations that burden the youthful children are but faint expressions of the continued grief that awaits the allotment and condition of orphans. Four years ago, on the third day of January last, Mr. Ezra Messenger, of Messenger Ridge, died, leaving his wife with four small children. Mrs. Harriet M. Messenger was born in Pharsalia, September 3d, 1832 and was forth-three years and one day old at the time of her death. Eld.

THOMPSON: In Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 8th, Mr. Ira S. Thompson, aged 58 years.
Words are feeble to express the feelings of the entire community, occasioned by the sudden taking off of one who was long known and respected for his many amiable qualities of head and heart. To the afflicted widow, and the immediate relatives of the deceased, the sympathies of scores of friends are extended, and they will rest assured that the memory of Ira S. Thompson will be embalmed in the hearts of many true friends, who esteemed him for his virtues, and who deplore his untimely death.
His funeral was attended on Friday afternoon last, and the exercises were conducted by the Baptist clergyman of Plymouth, assisted by Rev. Mr. Haynes of this village. The attendance was large, including many from this place, and the occasion was one of more than ordinary interest. His age was 58 years.

Death
PARKS: In Smithville [Chenango Co. NY], Sept. 10th, James H. [Parks] son of William H. and Mary O. Parks, aged 2 years, 7 months and 10 days.
On earth no mortal eyes / Evermore shall behold him; / No more shall loving arms / Ever enfold him.
Tired were those little hands / Crossed on his breast; / A voice we could not hear / Called him to rest.
Useless those falling tears, / With grief why repine? / His lot is far happier / Mourner than thine.
Cherish his last good-bye/ And bless the kind Giver, / Who calls you to meet him / Far over the River

Death
On Friday Sept. 10th at the Hotel Fenimore in this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY], Thomas H. Rutherford in the 70th year of his age. The remains were taken to New York for interment.
Cooperstown, Sept. 10, 1875: Mr. Editor: A little more than two short months ago there came among you as a stranger, Thomas H. Rutherford. His head was silvered by the course of nearly three score years and ten, but his form was stalwart, his heart fresh and loving and his genial spirit as bright as though he was yet in the springtime of youth. Today the mortal remains so lately tenanted by that strong and joyous spirit are lying in the cold embrace of death and habited for the tomb. Today the last respects that man to mortal man can render have been paid and that strong frame, the temple of a spirit noble, pure and sweet, as "dust to dust returns."
Watched and tended during his painful sickness, patiently borne, with a devoted love which love for him inspired and strengthened those who were dearest to him and who feel that their heartfelt thanks are due to many to whom Mr. Rutherford was comparatively a stranger are unwilling to leave this place, so fraught with keen and severe trial, without making acknowledgement of the free and generous kindness which has extended aid to the living and shown respect to the dead. Our most hearty thanks are specially due Mr. Bunyan, proprietor of Hotel Fenimore and to all his employees for their untiring sympathy and helpfulness during a most trying illness, and to Dr Lathrop for a devotion and kindness like that of a brother, and also to Dr. Bassett for kind assistance and counsel.
If you kindly present this acknowledgment in your columns, you will gratify the friends and relatives of Mr. Rutherford and your obliged friend. Thomas H. Faile
