Death
DUTTON: In Otselic [Chenango Co. NY], June 11, Wm. Dutton.
Mr. Wm. Dutton died on Sunday the 11th inst. A large farmer carrying on nearly 600 acres and a very active man, his case has excited a widespread interest since the dreadful accident last winter which finally resulted in his death. The funeral was held on Tuesday at 12 o'clock, at the Baptist church, Otselic Centre.
Mr. Wm. Dutton met with a terrible accident on Tuesday, March 1, which came near costing him his life. While going down a steep hill with a load of bark, he being ahead of the oxen, he slipped and fell, the team passing over him and carrying him to the bottom of the hill, where they stopped with the forward part of the sleigh upon his body. He lay in this fearful position about an hour and nearly froze to death before he was found by one of the men in his employ. When taken home, Dr. Purdy was sent for, and his right shoulder was found to be badly crushed and out of joint. It took a long time to restore animation, and the pain was so intense that chloroform had to be administered before the joint could be set. Mr. Dutton is one of our most energetic farmers and was preparing to build a large barn the coming summer. This unfortunate accident will prove a serious hindrance.

HULBURT: A correspondent writing from Laurens, Otsego County [NY], gives the particulars of a sudden and singular death which occurred at Butts' Corners, three miles west of that village, on Friday night. It appears that about three o'clock on the morning in question, a Mr. Hulburt was awakened by the heavy breathing of his wife, but his most strenuous efforts failed to arouse her. Drs. Strong, of Laurens, and Pomeroy, of West Oneonta, were hastily summoned, but their united efforts failed to bring the woman to consciousness and after lingering in a state of insensibility until seven o'clock, she breathed her last. Death is believed to have resulted from an overdose of morphine taken to induce sleep. The deceased was a daughter of Harvey Butts, an old and highly esteemed resident of Otsego County.
STEWART: Funeral services of Mrs. Marvin Stewart were held at the Baptist church on Tuesday of this week.
