Death
DALTON: At Columbus [Chenango Co. NY], Oct. 14, 1877, Ellen A. [Dalton daughter of Patrick and Ann Dalton, aged 16 years and 6 months. The flower of the family is stricken in her youth. One more of earth's noblest is lost to society.
"None knew her but to love her, / None named her but to praise."
The esteem in which she was held was made manifest by a large and sorrowful concourse of funeral attendants. Innocent and virtuous, having led a Christian life in this world, her happiness and glory is assured in the next. the sympathy of numerous friends is extended to the bereaved members of the family. The love of friends for the deceased approached the love of her nearest and dearest relatives. Sorrow we do feel for our loss, joy we should feel at her gain.
Ellen, we miss thee, / Thy gain is our loss; / Patient unmurm'ring / Thou hast borne thy cross.
When thou wor't with us, / We knew not thy worth; / Gentle and modest, / All smiling and mirth.
Gone now forever, / To no more return;/ While in our sorrow, / We'll heed and we'll learn.

Merriman and Mary Ainsworth, E.G. Freeman and Rosa Palmer. The ceremony was quite impressively performed by Rev. I.J. Bailey. The church was beautifully trimmed with evergreens and flowers, and an arch with the traditional marriage bell, under which the happy pair stood. The bride was arranged in a rich dress of Irish poplin, trimmed with brown silk and was the picture of health and beauty. May their bark shun all the shoals and rocks, and upon which so many fair barks have been wrecked. An interesting discourse was afterwards delivered by Rev. I.J. Bailey from Rev. 19.7, "For the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife hath made her's all ready" etc.
On Saturday evening, of last week, there was a great gathering of the many friends of Mr. Henry Elmendorf to witness his marriage with Miss Mary Lewis of Delhi [Delaware Co.

A large bonfire was built, a carpet spread in the road on which the parties were placed, and the marriage ceremony was performed in the midst of the excited spectators. A bountiful supply of wedding cake was distributed after which the friends of the bride and groom adjourned to a neighboring house for a social dance. Walton Chronicle
Deaths
SMITH: In the town of Unadilla [Otsego Co. NY], opposite Sidney Plains [Delaware Co. NY], Oct. 22d, Kimbal Smith aged 68 years.
IRELAND: In Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY], oct. 22d, 1877, Edward H.P. Ireland, aged 44 years.
COE: The subject of this sketch, Saxton Coe, died in Sidney Plains [Delaware Co. NY], Sept. 21, 1877. He was born in New England and possessed many of the characteristics peculiar to the people of that section of the country. A good constitution, energy and perseverance were some of the qualifications which secured to him a fair share of success. He has been an inhabitant of this county 76 years and for more than forty years a resident of Sidney and identified with her interests. Like many of the pioneers of our country he was deprived of many of the privileges and advantages which we of a later generation so freely enjoy. Mr. Coe was a farmer and as such acquired a fair competence and up to the last few days of his life had charge of his own affairs although unable to perform the arduous labors of the farm. He was for many years an earnest and consistent member of the M.E. Church and one of its heaviest burden bearers, but when age and infirmity came slowly but surely upon him, and his counsels were no more sought and heeded as in former years, he quietly withdrew from the more active services of the church, leaving those who were younger and stronger to "bear the heat and burden of the day," as he had done in his time. Still, he was not unmindful of his obligations, and continued to contribute of his substance for the support of the cause he had espoused in earlier years. In a ripe old age, he passed to that rest for which he so often sighed and to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. He leaves a wife, now totally blind, waiting the summons to call her home, a son, Chauncey Coe and a daughter, Mrs. Evans, residents of this vicinity. His funeral was largely attended on Sabbath and his remains deposited in Prospects Hill Cemetery.

Sudden Death of Jeffrey H. Champlin, Esq.
Last Wednesday evening, Oct. 14th, we were startled on receiving a telegram announcing the death of J.H. Champlin of this village at Rondout [Ulster Co. NY] at 7 o'clock that evening of apoplexy.
At 2 o'clock that day, Mr. C. and wife took passage on the cars for New York, intending to stay that night in Rondout, and the next morning to proceed to New York - he to buy goods and his wife to receive treatment for an affection of the eyes. He was apparently well and soon after reaching Rondout was attacked with apoplexy and soon after breathed his last.
Mr. Champlin was born in New Kingston R.I. in 1812, and when he was five years old moved with his parents into the town of Jefferson [Schoharie Co. NY], a few miles from this village [Stamford, Delaware Co. NY] and resided on a farm many years. He taught the district school in this village when he was a young man. He married a daughter of St. Ledger Conley, and Mrs. H.S. Wood is their only child.
He resided in Harpersfield [Delaware Co. NY] many years, was a justice of the Peace in that town and in 1854 was the soft-shell Democratic candidate for Assembly and was defeated by Ezekiel Miller, Whig, by 79 majority.
He sold his farm in Harpersfield in 1856 and came to this village [Stamford] and commenced the mercantile business. In 1857 his daughter was married and soon after that he sold out and removed to Rondout and carried on the mercantile business about four years. He returned to Stamford at the expiration of that time, and again engaged in trade. In February 1869, his store was burned. He built a new one and has been successfully engaged in trade up to the time of his decease.
He was at the time of his death and has been for many years, a Justice of the Peace, a trustee of the Stamford Seminary, a member of the Board of Trustees of the village since its incorporation, and an executor of several unsettled estates. He was a member of Delta Chapter, No. 185, Royal Arch masons. He was an enterprising and useful citizen, and his loss is irreparable. He was a man of strict integrity, good business qualifications and the community lose in him one of the best men of our day. Stamford Mirror.
