Vital Records, Chenango County, NY, February & March 1877

 Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, February 28, 1877

Death

The many friends of Col. and Mrs. C. H. Sage, formerly of this village, will regret to learn of the death of their only son Willie Clinton Sage, which occurred at their residence at Long Island City, on Wednesday evening last.  Willie was born at Fulton [Oswego Co. NY] and spent his youth with his parents here [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].  Some two years ago he became connected with the Long Island City Improvements, as foreman, which position he occupied until he was stricken with malarial fever about two weeks before his death.  He had been somewhat afflicted with disease of the heart, so that the fever all the more speedily did its work.  Willie was a favorite while living in this village and many an eye will moisten among his young acquaintances here at the news of his decease.  His age was twenty-two, and his remains were interred in Mt. Adna Cemetery, Fulton. We join with all Mr. and Mrs. Sage's friends here, in heartfelt sympathy in their hour of bereavement.

Death

In Marcellus, Mich., Jan. 6, Mr. Henry W. Bly in the 65th year of his age.

The subject of this sketch was born in the State of Rhode Island, July 29, 1812, consequently, was 64 years 5 months and 13 days old.  While still a mere youth, he removed with his parents to Chenango County, N.Y., at which place he spent his boyhood and while yet a young man he took up his abode near Rochester, N.Y. where in 1840 he was married to Louisa Cook and in 1853 they moved to Marcellus, Cass County, Mich, which, at that time, was comparatively a new country and where he has lived up to the time of his death.  In 1869 his wife died and in 1871 he again married a sister to his former, Nellie Cook.

He was one of a family of nine children of whom several are now living.  His mother is also living near Greene, Chenango Co. N.Y., at the advanced age of 87 years.  Mr. Bly until late years had been a hard laboring man and cleared up a large farm, on which he lived at the time of his death.  He was a good financier, shrewd, but an honest dealer and finally accumulated a large property which he disposed of by will previous to his death in a creditable manner.  He was always a kindhearted man and had many friends.  He had what some would call faults, but his many virtues over balanced them all.  He has been elected to and held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years, which office he held with credit.  He was not a member of any Church, but few men read his Bible more than he, and was a believer in its teachings.  He believed that God is good, that God made us and not we ourselves, and that his mercy is everlasting.  His funeral was preached on Tuesday the 9th by Rev. Mr. Wilson of the M.E. Chruch.  The text was one of his own selection which will be found in the 100th psalm, 3d and 5th verses.

Mr. Bly had no near relatives in this county, except his wife.  His brother, Kenyon, of Chenango Forks, has been with him for some weeks previous to his death.  In his death the community loses a good citizen.  Michigan newspaper

Memoriam

Lines composed on the death of Little Harry Sweet

by Mrs. Cornelia Tinker

Up within the Courts of Heaven, / Just inside the pearly gates, / Carried safely by the angels; / Darling little Harry waits.

Safe within the fold of Jesus, / In a home of endless love, / Far beyond this world of sorrow / Dwells your little child above.

Jesus loves all little children; / And he said, "forbid them not," / When into my arms I take them / Without sin, or stain or spot.

Do not mourn for little Harry, / For in Heaven he is happier far / Than on earth you e'er could make him, / He will be your guiding star.

Heaven will have for you attractions / That it never had before; / Though so well you loved your darling, / Think! the angels loved him more.

And when you have crossed the river, /Where is everlasting joy; / Singing with ten thousand children, / You will find your angel boy.
