 Oxford Times, Oxford, NY, February 6, 1878

Marriage

News Item

The Oneonta Press says of an old gentleman, whom many of our readers will remember as a former resident [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY], the following kind words:

One of the finest specimens of the well preserved, serene and happy old men we have seen of late years is the venerable Jere Allis, formerly of Cazenovia [Madison Co. NY], late of Milwaukee, now residing with his son-in-law, Rev. Henry Callahan, at Franklin [Delaware Co. NY].  Mr. Allis is ninety-two years of age and nearly blind, but his faculties are as bright and active as those of most men at sixty.  His interest in national affairs is as deep and earnest as that of any statesman at Washington, and he hopes for a clear and honest way out of all the complications of republican and presidential politics and policy.  Since his return to the East for a home, he has had the old clock he brought from Connecticut, sixty years ago, refitted and now it ticks behind his door as it did for many years at Oxford.  May it tick softly, as it measures off the last years of this old patriarch of industry and good citizenship.

Death

At Louisiana, Pike Co. Mo., on the 16th of November, after a short but severe illness, Mr. Timothy T. Bake and on the 31st of January, Pamelia [Bake] wife of the late T.T. Bake.

Seldom has it fallen to our lot to record the deaths of any persons more worthy of a passing tribute, than the two whose names form the heading of this paragraph.  The relatives of the deceased by this sudden dispensation of Providence have sustained an afflictive and irreparable loss, a loss which in view of numberless virtues, time alone, aided by the teaching of our Lord and Master can repair.

Long too, will their names be held in sacred remembrance by an extensive circle of friends and acquaintances and often will tears of heartfelt sorrow mingle and fall to the memories of these, the virtuous dead. But not only in the relation of friend and neighbor, did they bear a conspicuous part, for in higher and holier connections than these they were wont to mingle and drink deeply at the fount of Piety and worth.  Having for many years been communicants of the Methodist Episcopal Church, they lived as becometh good and faithful members of the same. And numbers in this village have (while they occasionally tarried with us) knelt at the same altar and mingled their voices in unison at the throne of supplication. But they are gone - and to their remaining friends have left examples well worthy of imitation, forasmuch as their departure was crowned with that calmness and submission which characterizes the devoted followers of the cross.
