Marriage
Sept. 13: At Oneonta [Otsego Co. NY], by Rev. H.H. Allen, C.E. Currier to Miss Lois H. [Primmer] daughter of John E. Primmer, all of Oneonta.
Gilbertsville, Otsego Co. NY: The past week has been a notable one for this town. Last Tuesday morning, Mr. Hobart Benedict and Miss Anna May Converse were married. In the afternoon of the same day Mr. Andrew Annable was married to Miss Libbie Porter. They went on their wedding trip to the Queen's dominions. At Locust Grove last Wednesday morning, Rev. Mr. Ecob of Agusta, Me., was married to Miss Helen Gilbert, eldest daughter of J.H. Gilbert, Esq. About 100 members of the Gilbert tree of the tribe of Joseph were present on that occasion. As the carriage with its happy company left the paternal home, it bore the best wishes of the community to this truly noble Christian lady, that wherever her lot in life might be cast, joy and happiness might be hers.

In Gilbertsville [Otsego Co. NY], Sept. 12th(?) after a lingering illness, Clara S. Eggleston aged 15(?) years. [Oneonta Herald & Democrat, Oneonta, NY, Sept. 21, 1877]
Gilbertsville, Otsego Co., NY: Last Wednesday morning, Miss Clara Eggleston, daughter of Rufus Eggleston, died after a few weeks' illness which she bore with Christian fortitude and patient resignation. Death claimed this shining Christian for his own. A kind and affectionate daughter; a brilliant scholar; a consistent Christian, she was ever found in paths that lead to purity and peace. The Academy will no more be graced by her presence; her voice, like sweet music, will no more be heard in melody and song at the young peoples' meeting; her seat will be vacant at the Bible class, and from the family circle her voice is forever hushed. She has gone over the river to that city whose walls are of jasper and whose streets are of gold while her parents and friends watch and wait a little longer, how much longer none can tell.

News Item
Portlandville, Otsego Co. NY: It was a son of Dr. Evans who was found dead in the hop yard, and not the Dr. himself, as stated in your last issue. A misprint, of course. The coroner and jury met again on the 14th pursuant to adjournment. Several members of the family were re-sworn, also some of the neighbors, but no more facts were proven. The verdict of the jury was in substance that the wound on his head produced death, but what caused the wound they do not say. Some think he fell off the hop box; other think he had a fit and fell and hit his head on a stone. Which theory is correct perhaps never will be known.
