In one of the most beautiful and delightful sections of our town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], there might be seen on Saturday last, relatives, friends and neighbors, accompanied with their children, from far and near going to attend a birthday party of one of our most respected citizens, Nathan Aldrich, which was held at his residence. Mr. Aldrich was born in Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], June 22, 1816, and being the son of an enterprising farmer, has followed the occupation of farming for a livelihood up to the present time. Having entered into a copartnership early in life with his brother-in-law, John Gross, forming the firm of Gross & Aldrich, they have become by their untiring industry, good management and strict economy well to do farmers, who are far above the pressure of the times which are crushing many of our less fortunate citizens. How truly in this instance the wise saying of one in olden times has been verified "United we stand, divided we fall." One of the firm giving council and direction while the other acting as a regulator and ballast to guide their little bark successfully over the tempestuous sea of this earthly life.
Of his sisters, Mrs. John Gross, of Greene; Mrs. Wm. Gross, of Triangle; Mrs. Benjamin Evans, of Norwich; with some of their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren were present, numbering 35. Of his brother's family present were Mr. and Mr. Wm. Ross of Preston; Mr. and Mrs. Eli Ross and daughter of Plymouth; Mr. and Mrs. Aug Ross and daughter and Mrs. John Noyes and Mrs. Dr. Blin Harries, of Norwich; Isaac, Almira and Lois Ross of Preston; his aunt, Mrs. Samuel Aldrich and cousin King Cook, and Mrs. Amy Norton and Mrs. Alonzo Thorington and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. E. Childs of the same place; Mr. and Mrs. Jonas Parker and Mrs. Alphonzo Gross. Among those of our own citizens might be seen George R. Lyon, John Fredenburgh and Charles O. Davis.

Yaleville, Chenango Co. NY: Another bright and shining light gone. On the morning of Saturday June 22d one of our oldest and most respected citizens passed away, and nothing but good deeds and remembrances of his purely Christian life, are left to remind us of his former existence. The subject of this sketch, Dexter Hunt, was born in Rhode Island in 1799, and moved to this place several years ago, where he has since resided. At the time of his death, he was 79 years of age. He was the youngest of the family and leaves many sorrowing friends to mourn his loss.
Say ye, his life is lost our home's sweet comfort and our crown of hope! / Nay, friends his life has now a grander scope, / A living holocanst to God and truth and right; / A hero heart is still and eyes are sealed and loving lips are mute, / Which bore on earth the spirit's golden fruit, / but peace, it was God's will.

A man of venerable years. Mr. Jeduthun Roe, now in the 91st year of his age, is still smart and active, often walking the distance of 1-1/2 miles to the post office and home again, without the appearance of much fatigue. His mind is also remarkably vigorous, remembering dates and business transactions with a precision scarcely equaled by those in the prime of life.
