_____________________________
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean of June 4th, we copy the following mention of the death of a former resident of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], who left his native town while young and became identified with the interests of the growing city of Chicago which has since been his home and where he leaves surviving him a large family.
"The burial of the late Captain B.F. Davison took place last Saturday afternoon, with Masonic ceremonies at Graceland, Rev. H.G. Perry officiating as Chaplain, under the auspices of Cleveland Lodge, of which the deceased was a member. Captain B.F. Davison was born at Norwich, Chenango County, N.Y. in 1816 and commenced sailing at an early age. He first came to Chicago with Captain Whittaker in 1836, the vessel bringing a cargo of supplies for the fort here. He made Chicago his home in 1856, since which year he has resided here. For many years he was Marine Inspector for the Underwriters in Chicago, but of late years has been in the ship chandlery. He expired at his residence in the city of Chicago at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon, 31st ult. Having sailed for many years, having been an owner, and having been connected all his life in one way or another with our lake marine, no man was better known all over the chain of lakes. The deceased had hosts of friends and acquaintances, as also have his grown-up family, which is a numerous one."

News Item
We understand that Cornelius Whitbeck of this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], was recently married to a lady living near Albany [Albany Co. NY]. We also learn that said wife died in some kind of a fit about three weeks after her marriage. It will be remembered that Mr. Whitbeck lost his second wife in this village about four or five months since, and the sudden taking off of his third wife must fill the old man's heart with unbounded sorrow. Verily, this is a fast age we live in and Cornelius is one of the b-hoys.
