Death of William H. Walrath
The Chittenango Times thus refers to the late William H. Walrath: on the 22d inst., after brief illness, William H. Walrath, of this village [Chittenango, Madison Co. NY] departed this life, aged fifty years and eight months. His attending physicians pronounced his disease typhoid pneumonia.
In the death of Mr. Walrath, this community has suffered a loss that cannot be overestimated. He was enterprising, and fully identified with all measures, having for their object the best interest of the village and community in which he lived. No death has occurred that occasioned more widespread and universal sympathy among our citizens than this. Born and brought up in our midst, his virtues and excellence were well known and appreciated and few among our prominent and influential citizens had a wider circle of friends than the deceased. The estimate in which Mr. Walrath was held by his business associates and those who were connected with him socially, is most touchingly testified in the subjoined preambles and resolutions. These expressions of confidence and testimonials, to his virtues, are in perfect keeping and harmony with the sentiments of this entire community. One of the first and most prominent of our citizens, he was modest in all his intercourse with his fellow citizens.
One of his many virtues was his perfect simplicity of taste and abhorrence of ostentatious display. Courteous, affable and gentlemanly in his dealings with the people, his friends were numerous. Mr. Walrath was a person of decided convictions and judgment and he adhered to his convictions with persistent firmness. Few men were more so disposed than he, and few men were more honest and conscientious in their views than he. If he took a position, he believed he was right, and believing it stood firm. Politically he acted with the Democratic party, and not unfrequently has been the recipient of marked honor, from his political friends. His standing with his political associates was high and his merits and services recognized and appreciated not only in his own county, but among the prominent and influential men of State of New York.
Possessed of a finished academical education, he was not a stranger in the society of any gathering of people. He was a fluent and able debater, a fine logician, and a captivating and earnest speaker, and the occasions are not a few, when the power and force of his arguments have met with generous approval, while the polish of his eloquence charmed and captivated his listeners. He was confiding in his nature and disposition and was wont to treat and be treated by all men with generous frankness and freedom He always took delight in the pleasure of honest and simple friendship, rather than in the flinty formality of selfish courtesy and interested politeness.
The most beautiful characteristic of his life, and that which betokened the true Christian gentleman and the manly man, was his perfect devotion and delight in the pleasures of his home circle. Few persons took more earnest delight in the welfare and enjoyment of his household than he, and here it is that his loss will be the most severely felt. His mother, Mrs. John I. Walrath died the same evening, and the funeral services of both were conducted at the same place and time. She was a most estimable and devoted Christian lady, and her long life was thickly adorned with virtues that made it pleasant while she lived and beautiful for her children to contemplate now that she has passed form earth.
The funeral services were held at the Reformed Church in this village and were most impressive. the capacious house was filled to it capacity and the large audience all sympathized with the afflicted friends and relatives of the two coffined dead. the members of the Masonic Fraternity, of which Mr. Walrath was a member, attended in a body and took part in the services and contributed to impress the solemnity of the occasion. Peace to the ashes of the dead mother and son.
