Vital Records from the Binghamton Courier of 1844 (August to October)

 Binghamton Courier Binghamton, NY

August 22, 1844

Died: on Monday the 19th instant of Scarlet Fever, Sherman Patterson, son of William M. Patterson, Esq., of this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], aged five years.

August 29, 1844

Married:  This morning by the Rev Dr. Andrews, at the residence of Judge Tracy Robinson, Mr. Charles L. Robinson to Miss Mary B. [Martin] youngest daughter of the late Gen. Martin of Martinsburg, N.Y. [Lewis Co.]

Died:  In this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], on Friday the 16th inst., Edwin H. Durkee, son of Joseph Durkee, aged one year and 11 days.

September 19, 1844

Died:  In this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], on Tuesday last, at 11 o'clock P.M., Mr. Robert Eldredge, aged 24 years.

The deceased has been for several years engaged in active business in Binghamton, and with the extensive circle of his acquaintances has always been distinguished for the strictest integrity and the purest moral conduct.  Warm in his affections for friends and devoted in his attachment to his family, his death has caused a wound in their hearts, which time cannot heal, and left a vacant place in the social circle and by the fireside of his home, which no other one can fill.

His painful sickness of two weeks duration was borne with patience and fortitude; and a short time before death he expressed his perfect willingness to give back his soul into the hands of his Maker.

His family have the sympathies of the whole public; consolation, they scarcely need, for we can but trust that the spirit of one so kind and good has found rest in Heaven.
