Afton [Chenango Co. NY]: We are called upon to record the death of one of our oldest inhabitants, Joseph Landers, who died at the house of Rufus Burlingame, on Sunday, September 26th, 1875, aged 84 years. We learn that the deceased was the first white male child born in what is now the town of Afton, it being a part of the town of Jericho. The town of Jericho was formed February 16, 1791, and the deceased was born July 6, 1791. He has spent the most of his days in this town, living and dying within two miles of his birthplace, and the cemetery where his remains are now deposited is a part of the homestead of his father, and less than one hundred rods from the place of his birth. the deceased lived to rear a large family of children and see them settled around him, and who tenderly cared for him in his declining years. He was able to walk about the place until about two weeks previous to his death, and two days within this present month chopped one-fourth of a cord of wood, not from necessity, but from choice. His remains were followed to the grave on Tuesday afternoon by a large concourse of relatives and friends. Eight of his children were present.
Mr. John Tinker, formerly of the town of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY], dropped dead in his house in Clockville, Madison County [NY], on Sunday, September 26th. A correspondent of the Oneida Union furnishes the following particulars of the sad affair: The community were startled on Sunday morning last by the report that Mr. Tinker had suddenly died. It seems that he had worked on Saturday in moving a barn. On Sunday morning he arose about daylight, apparently in his usual health, kindled a fire and sat down before it, when he suddenly fell from his chair to the floor, dead. Paralysis of the heart was probably the cause of his death. He was the father of Mrs. M. Shaw of this place, and Rev. Mr. Tinker, of Goshen, N.Y. The funeral took place Wednesday morning, and the body was conveyed to McDonough, Chenango County, [NY] for interment. He was74 years of age.
Last Saturday, Mr. Philo Fairchild, an old resident of this town [Pitcher, Chenango Co. NY], died at the residence of his son Doughlas Fairchild. Mr. Fairchild came to this town with his parents when at the age of seven years, seventy-seven years ago. His father owned the land now occupied by the business part of this village, and he has lived in town ever since that time. About ten days previous to his death he had a stroke of paralysis, and from that time to the day of his death, it was with difficulty that he recognized his friends. He had been a member of the Congregational church in this village for about fifty years. he was 84 years of age. Register

ROUSE: Suddenly, in Scranton, Pa. Sept. 28th, Jane E. Rouse, widow of Austin Rouse, M.D., and daughter of Erastus Perkins, deceased, late of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], aged 69 years.
Amid the pleasures and congratulations of friends at our Fair last week, came one of those sad and thrilling telegrams which cause so much anguish to hearts and homes, and throw over all rejoicing a pall of mourning. This one announced that Mrs. Rouse, widow of the late Dr. Rouse, well and widely known, had that (Tuesday) morning, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. A.B. Bennett, of Scranton, Pa. been suddenly called from earth. Coming downstairs early she missed her foothold and falling down the stairs was killed. Her remains were brought here [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY] for interment, and friends who had known her for years united with the sorrowing relatives in paying their last tribute of respect to her memory. The funeral services were held in St. Paul's Church on Thursday, Rev. Dr. Ayrault and Rogers officiating.
Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, October 7, 1875: A telegram brought the unwelcome news, Tuesday morning, of the sudden death of Mrs. Dr. Rouse, at Scranton, Penn. Mrs. Rouse was well known to many of our readers. Since her husband's death, she has resided in this village [Scranton, PA], with her relatives, a large portion of the time, she being a sister of the wife of the late Col. Joseph Juliand.
HORAN: In Eau Clair, Wis., Sept. 28th, Mrs. Teresa E. Horan, wife of Thomas Horan, Jr., and youngest daughter of Mr. John Redmond, of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY].
By this sad bereavement three infants, one of thirteen months, and two less than a week old, are left motherless and a husband to whom the loss is more agonizing, because it was unexpected. She leaves in Eau Clair, a household desolate; in Ireland many relatives; and in Oxford, relatives and friends with whom her name is consecrated by pleasant memories and fond associations. May she rest in peace.
