Death
HARRIS: In New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY], Thursday, December 21st, 1876, Squire Harris, aged 91 years.
Deceased was a brother of Harvey Harris of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], and of John Harris with whom he had lived 54 years. This was a living example of true brotherly love. They were born in Sterling, Conn. and were brought to Norwich by their parents at the age of five and six years. they came by marked trees and were two days crossing from the Unadilla to the Chenango River in the year 1790. Their father, John Harris, was a sea captain and married Tamar Runsford in Sterling in 1776, one hundred years ago the 27th day of last June, just one week before the Declaration of Independence. The mother of John Harris being Ruth Folger, a relative of Benjamin Franklin. Harvey Harris was born on the spot of ground where he now lives 81 years ago. Another brother, Blin, lived and died on the adjoining farm. Of the eleven children, but two are now living, John and Harvey. Just one week from the time Squire was buried, John Harris, father of Mrs. Edwin Berry, slipped upon the ice and broke his hip and now lies in a critical condition, as his extreme age renders recovery impossible. He was 93 the 9th of January. How little those thought who stood around the new made grave of Squire, a few days ago, and saw him laid beneath the drifting snows, while the fleecy flakes fell thick and fast, that the other brother would so soon be laid upon a bed of suffering. Aye, "in the midst of life we are in death."

Death
LANE: At West Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], Jan. 13th, 1877, Mr. Luman L. Lane, aged 31 years.
In its appropriate place will be found the announcement of the death of Luman L. Lane which occurred at the residence of his father-in-law, Briggs Lyon, in this town, at three o'clock Saturday afternoon last, his funeral taking place on Tuesday. For some time, he had been wasting away, but his death, though not wholly unexpected, was, nevertheless, a terrible shock, and a great sorrow. "Deac." as he was familiarly called was a genial whole-souled fellow, kind to a fault and always obliging; qualities of mind and heart which had won him hosts of friends. The widow, father, mother and brothers, have the heartfelt sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances.
The funeral of Luman L. Lane was largely attended at the West Bainbridge Baptist church, Tuesday. About thirty Masons from this place were present, as also were quite a large number form Afton lodge. Rev. N.S. Reynolds preached a very able and appropriate discourse, discussing the immortality of the soul, and its future existence, in a close, logical and impressive manner. His closing remarks were considerate and kind. He had made the acquaintance of the deceased during the past year and esteemed him highly as a citizen and friend. Altogether, the occasion was most impressive and served deeply to remind one of the fact "that in the midst of life we are in death."

His nephew in this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY], received the news on Monday of the death of Gen. Kent Jarvis, of Massillon, Ohio, that morning. He was about 76 years of age and one of the best-preserved men we ever saw who numbered so many years. He spent a portion of last summer here, as was his custom and then bid fair to make a hale and hearty octogenarian. Gen. Jarvis was a native of this town but had been for many years a resident of Ohio, where he occupied prominent official and other positions and was very popular as a public spirited citizen. He was a General of the State militia when the war broke out and was efficient in organizing troops for service. After the close of the war, he held the position of U.S. Revenue officer for his district. Gen. J. was a prominent railroad man, and for a long time conducted extended operations in real estate. Personally, he was a very genial and pleasant gentleman. The world is the better that he lived.
