Deaths
HARRIS: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], June 3d, Charles Truman [Harris], second son of George A. and Mary Harris, aged 6 years and eight months.
Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, Norwich, NY, June 6, 1877: Gone in his childish beauty, gone from his home, gone from his brother dear, never to return. Too bright, too beautiful to last. God gave and God hath taken him home. Often, he has wished to go to God and see how the stars were kept. Now he has become a star in the worlds above. The six days of suffering, and the Sabbath hours of Sunday School where he so loved to go found him in the class of his loved Father above, where he now sings the sweet songs with his little cousins gone before, who can unravel the mysteries of Providence. Who can tell where death next leaves the vacant chair. The young taken, the aged left, a few days and all reunited, never more to be separated.
"He will gather, he will gather / The gems for his kingdom, / All the pure ones, all the bright ones, / His loved and his own / Like the stars of this morning / His bright crown adorning, / They shall shine in their beauty / Bright gems for his crown."

Conklin, one of our sterling young men. He had been studying law for a year or two in the office of E.J. Arnold, was well and favorably known to our citizens and by his courtesy and pleasant ways had endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. The funeral was attended on Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church (of which he was a member) by a large concourse of our leading citizens. Rev. E.P. Eldredge preached the funeral sermon, Revs. J.H. Sage of the Baptist Chruch and Rev. A.B. Dilley, of the Congregational, assisting in services. The Sunday School of which he was an active member, took part in the procession, his class of six young men wearing badges of mourning. The sympathy of the entire community is with the wife and child of the deceased, and other relatives, so sadly bereaved. L.N. Former

WELCH: About 5:30 o'clock Monday evening, Mr. Wm. Gillman discovered from his saloon window a straw hat floating in the water below the dam in this village. He fished it out and soon after inquiry was made for Tommy Pettis Welch, grandson of Mr. T.C. Pettis, who had been missed at home for some little time. The hat was shown to Mr. Pettis, who recognized it as belonging to his grandson. The alarm was immediately given, boats and lights were provided, and men proceeded to rake the pool for the body. About 10 o'clock the body was recovered by Geo. Moulton and James Warn. It was in about 25 feet of water and near the dam. It was not known how the lad got into the water. He was last seen by Mr. Pettis about the store premises at half-past four o'clock. Some think he fell from the dam and others from a boat or dock below. He was a bright, intelligent lad, a little over seven years of age, and dearly beloved by his grandparents who adopted him after the death of his mother, their daughter, which occurred soon after his birth. His father is in Plainfield [Otsego Co. NY], this State. Times
