Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, November 11, 1876
Death
NUSOM: At Triangle, N.Y. [Broome Co., NY], September 20, 1876, Rhoda C. Nusom aged 50 years 9 months and 6 days.
She has gone to her home for the eventide is come, / And her trials are o'er / She has gone where her faith and her hope abides, / Gone, where she will rest with Jesus evermore.
She has gone to her home and loosened the shield / That she bore on life's battle plains, / And the smile of love she was wont to yield / Is hid beneath death's conquering pain.
She has gone to her home, for the race is run, / And the wreath is around her brow; / The angels saw when the prize was won / And they great her in Heaven now.
Her Pastor.

KROMER: Joseph Kromer of Mineral Springs [Schoharie Co. NY], was killed on Friday night of last week by being struck by a passing train and knocked from the railroad bridge near the Central Bridge station [Schuharie Co. NY]. Mr. Kromer was about seventy years of age and on account of a slight aberration of mind, was accustomed occasionally to wander away from his home, straying into various parts of the county, so that he had to be watched and kept at home. It was while straying away and doubtless while in the act of crossing the bridge across the Schoharie creek, that he was struck by a passing train on Friday evening and killed either by the blow received from the cars or by falling from the bridge and striking the ground, where his body was found on Saturday.

A Hundred Years to Come
A hundred years to come! No man appears to realize how soon he must sink into oblivion. Yet such is the fact. Time and progress have through countless ages come marching hand in hand - the one destroying, the other building up. A hundred years hence all that we now see around us will have passed away. It is but a repetition of life's story - we are born - we die - and sink to a common level.
We all within our graves shall sleep, / A hundred years to come; / No living soul for us shall weep, / A hundred years to come; / But other men our land will till, / And other men our streets will fill, / And other birds shall sing as gay, / As bright the sunshine as today, / A hundred years to come.

About six months ago, when Spring was clothing the earth with new life, the remains of the aged and loving husband of the deceased were borne to the grave. Now, like one of the last of the dry leaves of a tree which cling to the branch while it is lashed by the tempest and then falls to the ground, this aged and beloved wife, tossed by the whirlwinds of affliction, has at last fallen to her resting place. We trust she has entered that beautiful land where in the full fruition of that hope which was once so precious to her, with undimmed sight and unclouded mind, she is welcomed by Jesus who is the resurrention and the life.
In Decatur [Otsego Co. NY], on the 8th inst. Nahum Thompson of Decatur, aged 79 years and 3 months. He was stricken with apoplexy on the 4th and lingered four days in an unconscious state.
This event occurred in his native town of Decatur, where all his four-score years were spent, on the 8th inst. He was in all respect a noble specimen of a man - upright, honest, intelligent and true hearted. He was one of the oldest of the native citizens of Otsego County. In 1844 he was elected a Member of Assembly, was several times Supervisor of Decatur and for more than an ordinary generation prominent in the political and business affairs of his town and county. Almost every year, until his health began seriously to fail, he represented his town in the democratic County Conventions held at this place. He leaves a widow and six children. His good name will be esteemed their proudest legacy.
