Death
WHITE: In this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY], July 14th, at the residence of Orrin Saley, Miss L. Maria White aged 49 years. After three months of constant suffering, most of which time she was unable to lie down, our good Father has given her in a brighter world, the rest she longed for in this.
"She has crossed the silent river, / She has gained the Golden Shore; / Where her sufferings are ended / And pain is known no more."
News Item
Sherburne East Hill, July 25th, 1877: Dear Aunt Polly, It seems to me you are a long time visiting your husband's relatives, meanwhile mankind in general are hearing nothing from East Hill. Thinking you will enjoy a letter from home, I write you. the members of our family are "smart as common." There are a number of sick persons in the neighborhood. You will regret to learn that Mrs. Lowe is not feeling as well as she has been for some time previous to this. Maria Johnson is convalescing from her recent severe indisposition. Mrs. Campbell has not sufficiently recovered from her impromptu bath in the river to be able to sit up more than fifteen minutes at a time. Mrs. Rutherford would gain rapidly if she were less ambitious. We were pleased to see Mrs. John Smith at church last Sabbath although not feeling well enough to occupy her place in the choir. Mrs. Eugene Austin rode out Sabbath afternoon. The friends and neighbors of Mr. Campbell kindly and efficiently assisted him in the hay field last Monday. There were seventeen men and seven teams employed in the labor of Christian love, evincing that the command "bear ye one another's burdens" is not considered obsolete by the people here. Miss Bertha Whitney presided at our Sem last Monday as the Preceptress was enjoying the miseries and mysteries of toothache. My advice in the case would be, have the grumbling molar fished out. Bert Reynolds, wife and daughter spent the Sabbath with Miss Carrie Milliken. Do you ever glory in the fact of having a home in so respectable a neighborhood? A minister and family located in our midst, a lawyer, and although we have no physician, we can boast of a head nurse. Just think of the vast amount of brain power embodied in twelve school teachers, ex. and otherwise. (ex. you remember is the first syllable of extra). We have a music teacher too. Mrs. A.J. Rowland is giving lessons on the organ to Carrie Milliken. The church interests both spiritual and financial have materially advanced during the pastorate of Rev. B.F. Marsden as the comparatively large congregations Sabbath days and the attendance upon the weekly prayer meetings (four in number) attest, as well as the noticeable improvement in the appearance of the church, sheds, parsonage and grounds. The universal remark is, our Pastor is such a thorough Christian, and his wife is such a discreet woman, in every way worthy of the place she occupies. Mr. Albert Whitney is repairing his barn. The masonry is slowly but surely progressing under the supervision of Peter Byrnes. Perhaps I've given you all of the items of news unless I send you some of the visionary ones. You know in nearly every neighborhood are some persons who, unlike Samuel Weller have not a pair of eyes, but "a pair of patent double million magnifying gas microscopes of hextra power," causing them to see much invisible to others. Usually, these persons are gifted with a tongue power commensurate with their vision, enabling them to give others the full benefit of their peculiar gifts. Somewhere in an old fashioned book I've read, something about a mote and a beam; something about first plucking out the beam &c. As Dea. Harris says, "if everyone will weed his own garden every garden will get weed." All of the family send greeting and hope for your speedy return. Please answer this soon. From your affectionate niece, Caroline.

Dearest father, thou hast left us, / Can we see there here no more? / Thou hast left this world of sorrow / For that bright and shining shore.
We will miss thee from our home, dear father; / We will miss thee from thy place, / Oh! life will be so dark without / The sunshine of thy face.
Thou hast left us, and we miss thee, / Sadly miss thee father dear; / In vain we listen for thy footsteps, / Still were thinking thou art near
We hear no more thy lovely voice, / We catch no more thy smile; / When thou wert here we did rejoice, / We loved thee without guile, / Gone, but not forgotten.
