DE FOREST: At her residence in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 28th, 1876, Mrs. Sarah De Forest, widow of the late Gen. Henry De Forest, aged 82 years.
Mrs. De Forest was born in Cooperstown, Otsego County [NY], in September 1793. Having afterwards moved to New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY], she married Gen. De Forest, with whom she removed to this place in 1829 and took charge of the Eagle Hotel, when Gen. De Forest purchased and kept the same for about twenty years, during which time Mrs. De Forest became distinguished for her quiet and energetic devotion to her duties, and her charities dispensed to all those within her knowledge, who deserved aid. Many of our oldest citizens remember with gratitude her kindness, her cheering words and her generosity when in their youth they needed them all. Soon after coming to Norwich, she united with the Episcopal Church, and has led a quiet, consistent Christian life, bearing her many troubles without complaint, and although for the last ten years a confirmed invalid, murmuring not at the sufferings of her last sickness and finally going to her rest with gladness. For her "to die is gain." Funeral services at her late residence, Friday, December 1st at 10 o'clock, A.M.
BOWERS: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], Nov. 24th, of typhoid pneumonia, Mr. E. Devillo Bowers, aged 21 years 7 months and 13 days. After a short illness, this youth of bright promise has been called to pay the debt we all must pay and has entered on his reward in the Glory Land. His loss will be severely felt by loved ones and associates of earth, while in heaven will be rejoicing that one more star is added to Christ's crown. Always a youth of firm integrity and a keen sence of right, it was but a step for him to give himself into the arms of Jesus, which he did in a few hours, the disease was stayed by the hand of Providence, apparently for this very purpose. Our loss is his eternal gain, and well may we exclaim, "Let me die the death of the righteous, may my last days be like his."
I have no fears, O, blessed Lord, / For all my fears are thine; / I live in triumph, Lord, for thou / Hast made thy triumph mine.
