WESCOTT: March 26th, 1877, Alice [Wescott] only child of Albertus and Elpha Wescott, aged 2 years, 2 months and 3 days.
This brief record, which will be so lightly perused by the stranger, carries with it a world of sorrow to many bereaved hearts. Alice was the youngest, fairest flower of the large circle of the Paris Winsor family, which, since the war, had kept up its reunions annually. She was of the fifth generation from Paris Winsor, whose widow still survives at the advanced age of ninety-two. She was greatly delighted at the thought of leaving her city home to go to Norwich, the home of her grandparents and in her childish prattle was constantly telling of "going to bamma's." Alas! she only came to die. The death angel was already at work chilling the life current when she arrived. Measles followed by pneumonia produced suffering long and intense, and endured without a murmur till the angels came and bore her to the land where "there is no more death, neither sorrow nor crying." At midnight after her arrival at her grandpa's she awoke and sang sweetly " Hold o'fote for I's a comming" her last song on earth. The sad moan is now exchanged for the angel's song, and the white hands are beckoning her loved ones to their beautiful home.
She is not lost, the treasured darling / Has found a fairer, sweeter home, / And evermore we hear her calling, / "Come papa, mamma, bamma come."

MILLER: In Bath, Steuben Co. [NY], at the residence of her son-in-law, A.P. Allen, April 26th, Mrs. Emma B. Miller, widow of the late Theodore Miller, of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], in the 77th year of her age.
Deceased was born in Brimfield Mass., August 3d, 1800, and was married to Theodore Miller, February 13th, 1823. They settled in New Hartford (then Whitestown), Oneida County [NY], Mr. Miller having removed from Norwich and located upon the old homestead a year or more previous to their marriage. Four children were born to them, and three died, during their residence in New Hartford. In 1836, they returned to Norwich, and during that and the following year Mr. Miller erected the house now occupied [in 1877] by Mrs. S.H. Barnes on East Main Street. About three years later, in 1840, Mr. Miller sold this place to John F. Hill, and removed to Plasterville, then in the town of Norwich. During their residence there the eldest daughter died, leaving the two children who now survive their parents, T.D. Miller, of this village and Mrs. A.P. Allen, of Bath, N.Y., both of whom were born in this village previous to the removal to Plasterville.
In 1853, Mr. miller disposed of his property at Plasterville, and the family again returned to this village, where they resided at the time of her death, which occurred July 31st, 1860. the widow continued to reside with her children until 1866, when she removed to Bath, making her home with her daughter, Mrs. Allen, with whom she has since resided, with the exception of occasional visits to her old home and friends, until the time of her death. Her last visit to this place was made in February last, when she appeared to be in her usual health, and at that time she visited a sister residing in Verona, Oneida County [NY]. She leaves another sister, older than herself and a brother younger, living in Brimfield, Mass.
During her long and useful life in this village and vicinity, deceased had endeared herself to all with whom she became acquainted by her Christian spirit, her pleasing intercourse with neighbors and friends, and her many acts of benevolence. That her memory is cherished by the community in which she had so long resided, was evidenced at the funeral services, which took place at the residence of her son, T.D. Miller, in this village, on Sunday afternoon last. There was a very large attendance and the services which were conducted by Rev. S. Scoville, were of a most impressive character.

Marriages
MARSH - PITTSLEY: At the residence of Mr. Marsh, in Guilford [Chenango Co. NY], April 29th, 1877, by Rev. T.P. Halsted, Mr. Clement G. Marsh and Miss Delia L. Pittsley, both of Butternuts [Otsego Co. NY].
North Norwich [Chenango Co. NY]: Calvin Bryant on Tuesday last, was married to Miss Sophronia Freemen of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY]. The glad tidings of his marriage were really a surprise to many of this village, but we presume that it was not with them. Calvin when directed his mind to make so happy a choice, seems to have regarded the maxim "Who so findeth a wife findeth a good thing" as important, for he is peculiarly favored in this direction, in having found a prudent and suitable companion, and may peace and prosperity be theirs to enjoy all through life.
