Death

South New Berlin, Chenango Co. NY:  It becomes out painful duty to chronicle the death of Samuel Tyler (better known as "Uncle Sam") who departed this life Aug. 7, 1877, aged 60 years. For upwards of a score of years he has been a great sufferer from rheumatism, unable to move himself in any way to make him comfortable, in fact he was imprisoned in his chair day and night, yet, through all this affliction he remained jovial and patient to the last.  His death has cast a gloom over the entire community, but if "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die" then Uncle Samuel is not dead.  He lives in his great example of patience and love.

DALRYMPLE:  We are pained to learn as we go to press of the death of Charles O. Dalrymple of Otselic [Chenango Co. NY], which occurred at his residence this Friday morning of Cholera Morbus.  Up to Tuesday he was about his business apparently in his usual good health.  On the night of that day he was taken ill, and the attack baffled the skill of his attending physician causing his death as above stated.  His age was about fifty years.

Mr. Dalrymple had lived in Otselic for many years and was highly esteemed and respected by all who knew him.  He was an honest upright man in his dealings and his business relations though extensive have always been harmonious.  In politics he was a Democrat and notwithstanding he lived in a strong Republican town, he has several times represented it in our Board of Supervisors.  Last year he was the candidate of his party for Member of Assembly.  He leaves a wife and two children.   His death will cause a void in Otselic not easily filled.
