HILL: At Crystal Lake, Ill., Dec. 29th, 1876, Mrs. Ellen L. Hill, wife of William Hill, aged 45 years. Mrs. Hill was daughter of William and Abbey Champlin, formerly of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY].
FLOWERS: Mrs. John Flowers of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY], died last Thursday morning at 2 A.M. The funeral services were held at the Union Church in this village Sunday at 12 A.M., the 18th inst. Rev. Mr. Jones officiated, and his discourse was listened to by an attentive and appreciative audience. Mrs. flowers had been the unfortunate victim of incessant pain for nearly eighteen months, and during that time her piteous condition has often been chronicled in the columns of the Union and Telegraph. But English language is inadequate to express and the imagination too feeble to picture the terribleness of the suffering she endured, disease had filled her flesh with pain, changed her countenance and wore her away. Her affliction had afforded no comfort to her family and connections and every hope of earthly felicity to her was blasted and time after time she had expressed a desire to die, but a peaceful conscience and joyful hope enabled this Christian mother to bear trials and infirmities and even to meet death with fortitude and comfort. The residue of months she has been invalid and deprived of meeting the Lord and his servants in his sanctuary, seemed to her sorrowful, but now she has been removed to a more glorious assembly to behold His glory more fully and praise hm in more exalted strains while her body is in the grave returning to dissolution. GS.T.
Beaver Meadow [Chenango Co., NY]: This community was deeply shocked by the announcement last Thursday night of the sudden decease of Andrew Bellinger, caused by the second attack of paralysis. He was first attacked on the night of the 7th, when the whole of his right side became powerless. It also left him speechless. His funeral was held on the 18th, at the Christian Chruch, of which he was a member and was largely attended, though the day was cold and extremely rough. A feeling address was delivered by the pastor Rev. Steven Adriance. Mr. Bellenger had long been a resident of this place, as he occupied the large farm previously owned by his father Phillip Bellinger, Jr., who was formerly from the Mohawk valley and whose descendants have been identified with this place. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and acquaintances. In cases of sickness or trouble all through this section, he was one of the first to heartily offer assistance and thus endeared himself.

Deaths
Death of Simon G. Throop
The Scranton Republican says: Here [Stroudsburg, PA] he led for the most part a retired life, content to pass the evening of his days amid the quiet beauty of the pleasing landscape which lies in that prosperous town. Deceased was a congenial, cultured, companionable Christian gentleman, in faith an Episcopalian, but a man of broad and liberal views on all subjects. He was frank and free in giving expression to his convictions, regardless of consequences, and it is said that he did not have a single enemy in the world.
