BISHOP: At the residence of her son, William H. Bishop in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], May 5th, Mrs. Lodema Hawley Bishop, widow of Lyman Bishop, aged 74 years.
Deceased was born in Morris, Otsego County [NY], where she resided until the death of her husband, which occurred some twenty-five years ago. Soon after she removed with her children to this village, which has since been her home. For the past twelve years, she has been an invalid, and for a long time previous to her death, she was helpless. Her home was with her son, William H. Bishop, and throughout her life, and in her declining years, she received the untiring care of her children, and every attention which affection could suggest of filial love dictate, was cheerfully bestowed upon her. She was possessed of an amiable disposition, and quietly fulfilled her mission as a Christian wife and mother, until called to her reward, her departure being mourned by the family circle, with whom many friends sympathize in their bereavement.
Funeral services were held at her late residence, on Monday afternoon last, which were attended by a large number of our citizens, and the exercises were conducted by Rev. D.E. Loveridge, of Emmanuel Church.

In Memoriam: Lines to the memory of Bell May [Tallett] and L. Jay [Tallett] only children of Mr. and Mrs. Merton Tallett, who of late died, leaving home desolate:
Two beautiful cherubs flitted / Within our happy home. / We clasped them in our loving arms / Such joy--they were our own.
But the days were few and fleeting / That they tarried with us here. / For the angels bore them home / To a bright and happier sphere.
Too sweet a flower to blossom, / Was our lovely little May. / Christ claimed our precious treasure, / She gently passed away.
But hard to say, "Thy will be done," / When death repeats his call. / And bears away from our embrace / Our last fond hope--our all.
We clip form the brow one sunny tress / One curl from the little head. / Give the cold clay one last caress / Oh, our darling boy is dead.
Take off the little shoes, half worn, / And put them out of sight / Lay off the garments soiled and torn, / For raiment pure and white.
O, we shall miss our loved one / The pattering feet at play. / His whip and sled and empty crib, / All speak of little Jay.
How oft with arms extended wide, / And lips upraised to kiss, / He runs to greet his papa's coming / With heart so full of bliss.
Tis true, death no more can place / His signet on their brow. / Our two sweet infant babes / In heaven are happy now.
Our earth air was for them too cold, / Its chill they could not bear. / But in our Father's chosen fold / They know no fading there.
And we all shall meet again / When the toils of life are o'er, / Around our Father's throne / Where we shall part no more.

STEVENS: In Fort Wayne, Ind., April 28th, Sophia [Stevens], wife of Rufus L. Stevens, aged 49 years, formerly of Oxford [Chenango Co. NY].
Mrs. Stevens was born and married in Oxford, Chenango Co., N.Y., but for 14 years has resided in this city [Fort Wayne]. She was a woman of rare, good sense and loveliness of character. She was gentle, kind, charitable, conscientious and withal an earnest Christian. Domestic in her habits, industrious, frugal and cheerful, her home was ever sunny, happy, blest. Her husband, sister and other family friends mourn their great loss most deeply, but their memories of her are pleasant beyond expression while they are assured that for her "To die is gain."
Mrs. Stevens had been an invalid for many years and for two or three years a frequent sufferer, but always patient, hopeful and cheerful, even though she had come to look upon her end as approaching, she had no fears. She sleeps in Jesus!
The funeral services took place at the Baptist church, where for ten or twelve years past it was her delight to be found, a careful hearer, a devout worshipper. Ft. Wayne Daily News
