On Saturday last we noticed in its appropriate place in the Telegraph, the death of Mr. Albert Tiffany at his residence in King Settlement [Chenango Co. NY] in the sixty-second year of his age.  Mr. Tiffany was a son of the venerable William Tiffany, who preceded him some years since and who was well and favorably known as one of the early pioneers, not only of his particular locality but of the County at large as well.  Albert chose the occupation of his father and has always resided near the old homestead in King Settlement.  He was one of the many successful farmers who have done so much to develop the resources of our county.  His kind and genial disposition attracted many friends who showed their solicitude for his recovery during his short and painful illness.  In his life, though it was passed in the humble walks of an agriculturalist, he was able to bestow upon his neighbors who were less fortunate than he, many of those kindnesses which were prompted by a kind heart and generous spirit and now that he has passed away his memory will be kept green in the hearts of those who have so often shared in his benefactions.  His funeral was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends from his own and adjoining towns, conspicuous among whom were a number of our prominent businessmen.  He was buried in Norwich cemetery.  He leaves a widow and three daughters, Mrs. Geo. W. Sholes of Binghamton, Mrs. LeRoy Smith of this town, and Mary, an unmarried daughter, all of whom are well-known here and highly esteemed and respected by all.
