Chenango American, Greene, NY, October 11, 1877
Death
In Binghamton, [Broome Co. NY], Oct. 7th, Helen Grace, daughter of Orsamus B. and Kate m. Bruce, aged 8 years, 10 months and 3 days.
Mr. and Mrs. O.B. Bruce, of Binghamton, lost their only daughter, a bright, beautiful and promising child, on Sunday. Their friends in this village extend to them their heartfelt sympathy in this their hour of deep affliction. It is but a few short weeks ago that we saw this dear child in all her youthful beauty, purity and innocence, it seems sad indeed that the destroying angel should pluck so fair a flower from so bright a home, where she lay embowered in the arms of dear and watchful parents. But little Gracie has passed to those golden shores, and her bright and beautiful spirit is now in the arms of her Savior, there to spend a bright, blissful and glorious eternity.

Death
In Edmeston [Otsego Co. NY], Sept. 10th, Walter B. Southworth, aged 52 years. Mr. Southworth was a hardworking and industrious man of sterling integrity and faithful in all the relations of life. It can truly be said of him "He was a strictly honest man." He was never married. His father, Thomas Southworth died some eight years ago and since that time he has had the care of an aged mother and an unmarried sister, to whom he was devotedly attached and anticipated and contributed to all their wants. He will be greatly missed in the neighborhood which he has always lived, but in no place more than his family circle. He leaves a void in the family that it will be impossible to fill. His disease was typhoid pneumonia, and he was sick but six days. He appeared to realize that he was about to die and a few hours before his death he said to his mother that he had the evidence that it would be well with him and passed away in the hope of a glorious immortality.

In Oneonta [Otsego Co. NY], October 9th, Mrs. Harvey N. Rowe, aged 57 years.
Not in years has our community been so startled as on Tuesday morning last, when news ran like wildfire through town that Mrs. Harvey N. Rowe was dead. She had not been feeling well for two or three days and not until Monday at eleven o'clock did she think of being sick. Dr. Samuel H. Case arrived at two o'clock and found Mrs. Rowe in an apparently sinking condition. She had but little pulse and complained of being very cold when she was in fact very warm and perspiring freely. Her family and immediate friends gathered about and remained during the night. Mrs. Ettie Reid, her daughter, arrived from Norwich at two o'clock Tuesday morning. About eight o'clock of that day Dr. Case predicted that Mrs. Rowe could not live two hours and she did not. There have been various rumors of the cause of death and none of them are well settled yet. the opinion appears to be, however, from the termination of long settled difficulty of the stomach.
Mary Ann Hunt was born in Hillsdale, Columbia Co. [NY] in 1820, and was consequently 57 years of age. She was a sister of the late John L. Hunt of this place. In 1841 she was married to Harvey N. Rowe who was also born and lived in Hillsdale for many years. With the exception of three years spent in Laurens succeeding their marriage, Mrs. Rowe had lived in this town [Oneonta]. She professed religion soon after moving to Oneonta and although never a member of any church led a thoroughly Christian life and her kind heart and pious habits have made an interesting and beautiful home for a loving husband and children. She performed her offices of life in all respects well and leaves a family that will feel very keenly the loss they sustain. The funeral occurred from her late residence on Elm St. and was attended by a large concourse of people. Rev. M.C. Brown conducted the service.

On Thursday evening inst. at about six o'clock an accident occurred on the Nineveh Branch of the Delaware and Hudson railway in which an engineer, Patrick Rielly and a fireman, Michael Merrick were most horribly scalded to death.
The switch had been misplaced, and it is supposed to have been the fault of the track supervisor. The engine tank and four freight cars of a regular freight train were thrown down an embankment. the engine was overturned and wrecked. The fireman and engineer were both firmly fastened under the mass and the hot water was seen pouring out upon them. the sight was a distressing one. The engineer died within a very short time after the accident occurred. the fireman, as he lay wedged firmly in the debris and underneath a stream of scalding hot water, groaned and pleaded to those who were endeavoring to extricate him, imploring them to shoot him. He lived four hours, suffering terribly. No other persons were injured. the unfortunate men both resided in Nineveh [Broome Co. NY]. Rielly leaves a wife and five children and Merrick leaves a wife and one child.
