Marriage

BRUNSON - KELSEY:  In Masonville [Delaware Co. NY], May 18th(?), 1876, by Rev. N. Ripley, Joseph E. Brunson, and Miss Hattie K. Kelsey

Death

A lad by the name of Jay Manchester, aged about 13 years, living with John Denton, in Pittsfield [Otsego Co. NY], was accidentally hung on Sunday morning, 21st ult.  As we learn the facts they are as follows:  Young Manchester got up on Sunday morning and went after the cows, after driving them up, and while waiting for Mr. Denton to come and assist him in milking, he went upon the hay mow (where he and other boys had but up a swing), it is thought for the purpose of swinging.  The end of the rope at which he took hold of had a loop in it and it is thought that he rested his chin in said loop, with his hands hold of the rope and commenced to swing and then jump, as had been his practice, when the rope slipped over his head, coming so suddenly about his neck as to at once render him unable to extricate himself. Those who visited the place and saw the rope and we believe the coroner's jury came to the above conclusion.  He was a bright active boy and lived with Mr. Denton and his family happily, and that morning, just previous to the sad accident which caused his death, was lively and full of fun, going about his chores in the best of spirits.
