 Broome Republican, Binghamton, NY., September 1, 1847

Marriage

In Windsor, N.Y. [Broome Co.] on the 25th inst. by the Rev. H.W. Gilbert, Mr. George Edwards of East Troy, Walworth Co. Wisconsin Territory and Miss Electa S. Edwards daughter of Mr. William Edwards, of Windsor.

Death

In this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY] on Monday morning, 30th ult. Mr. Robert C. Whitmore, aged 28 years.

Mr. Whitmore was a man of strict integrity and enjoyed the honorable estimation of his fellow citizens.  In his business, as publisher of the Binghamton Democrat, he was active and industrious, and its typographical appearance attests his taste and skill as a printer.   He sustained an irreproachable moral character and in all the relations of life, towards his God, his young family and his fellow citizens, he acquitted himself, as we believe, acceptably, affectionately and honorably.

He has gone to an early grave, and his loss will be deplored not only by those with whom he was connected by the closest ties of kindred, but by a large circle of friends.  Democrat
