Chenango American, Greene, NY, August 1, 1878: A Delicate Operation: Last week while working in the hay field, Mr. Edward M. Horton of this town, was troubled very much with a bad breach [probable hernia]. He went home and put the breach back himself but suffered so much with it that he sent for medical aid. He received no relief, however, and it was decided to have an operation performed. Accordingly, on Monday Drs. Johnson, Wood, and Bartoo of this village, visited Mr. Horton for this purpose, and an operation was performed, resulting in discovering the difficulty. A flap resembling a V was cut at the point where the breach made its appearance, and it was discovered that one of the intestines was doubled and that the lining of the bowel had closed about it as tightly as a string could be tied around it, and consequently there was no passage through the intestine. this was cut away, and the intestine dropped back into its natural position. This of course, was a delicate operation, but it was successfully performed by Dr. J.E. Bartoo, assisted by Drs. Johnson and Wood and the patient now has many chances of getting well, where on the other hand he had none whatever. But for all this, inflammation may set in, and death claim its own.
Chenango American, Greene, NY, August 8, 1878: Last week we spoke of an operation having been performed upon Edward M. Horton, to relieve him from the suffering caused by a bad breach, &c. It is now our painful duty to record his death, which took place Thursday evening of last week. Mr. Horton died of exhaustion, not having the strength to rally from the operation. His funeral was very largely attended on Saturday last, thirty-three teams containing friends and neighbors escorting the remains to their last resting place in Sylvan Lawn Cemetery [Greene, Chenango Co. NY]. Mr. Horton will be missed in this community, he having been all through his life an active businessman and a kind and obliging neighbor.

Death of Ambrose Clark
On Saturday morning, Mr. Ambrose Clark the well-known contractor, died at his residence in this city, aged sixty-two years. The deceased gentleman has been a resident of Buffalo [Erie Co. NY] thirty-five years and was highly respected by the large circle of our citizens to whom he was known. He was born in Sherburne, Chenango County, in 1816, and has been in business as a contractor ever since he settled in Buffalo. He entered into partnership with Messrs. Wood & Douglass under the firm name of Wood, Clark and Douglass. Mr. Wood subsequently retired, but Messrs. Wood and Douglass continued in partnership until the latter died in 1875. The firm was engaged in the construction of many important public works, among them the Welland Canal, the Ohio Basin, the Buffalo Water Works Tunnel, the Harlem Railroad and the Canandaigua and Niagra Falls Railroad. Among their other notable contracts were completion of the Erie Canal from Slip No. 3 to the guard lock at Black Rock, and the removal of the rock from the bed of Buffalo River, opposite the Union Iron Works. At the time of his death Mr. Clark had a large contract on the Welland Canal. He was also Treasurer of the Union Cement Company.
Mr. Clark was a man of marked ability, combining the utmost energy with perseverance, enterprise and a well-balanced judgment. He was of a kindly nature, with a warm heart and generous impulses. He was, in fact, a most estimable man, in his business as well as his social relations, and his death will be sincerely regretted. Buffalo Express, Aug. 12.
