Yes, she sleepeth now in the quiet grave, / Where no sorrows flow and no tempests rave; / The bowers shall fade from the dear one's breast, / But her soul shall dwell in the land of rest / Till an angel band from the sky shall come, / And her body bear to its heavenly home.

Deaths
At Morris [Otsego Co. NY] Oct. 14th, Louisa [Valentine] wife of Henry Valentine, aged 40 years and 4 months.
Last Wednesday afternoon, the wife of Mr. Henry Valentine, who resides some two miles north of this village, died very suddenly. About a week before her death, she had given birth to a child, and was doing well as was supposed. Wednesday morning, she was able to set up and had her dress on, after dinner she thought she would lay down, got onto the bed for that purpose. Heavy breathing was at once heard by a girl in the house, who went to the bedside, found the little child on the floor and Mrs. Valentine apparently breathing her last. The girl informed Mr. V. who was chopping wood at the door. As he went in, he saw that his wife was nearly gone. He at once called for his neighbors, but she died before they reached the house. Thus, suddenly has a husband been bereft of a wife and five small children of a kind and affectionate mother. Although death came upon her suddenly, yet it found her prepared for the change, having for a number of years, possessed a hope that her name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
At Edmeston [Otsego Co. NY] Oct. 3d, Thomas Southworth aged 78 years.
At Otego [Otsego Co. NY] Oct. 7, Julia A. [Ward] wife of Amasa H. Ward, aged 51 years, 7 months.
At Albany [Albany Co. NY], Oct. 10, of consumption, Geo. B. Whitford of Garrattsville [Otsego Co. NY] aged 22 years. His remains were brought home for interment.
Rev. Daniel Clark formerly pastor of the Congregational church at Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], late of Plainfield, Ill., was drowned Sept. 24th, while fording a bayou of the Desplaines River on horseback. Mr. Clark is remembered with affection by many of the churches and former pastors in Chenango and Otsego as a noble Christian worker. From the appearance of the body when found, it is supposed his horse suddenly plunged into one of the many deep holes in the bayou throwing his rider and in struggling to regain firm footing probably struck the deceased on the head with his forefoot.
James Butler, brakesman on a special stock train East last Tuesday morning, 12th inst., was instantly killed by striking his head against the turnpike bridge over a deep cut between Afton and Harpursville. Butler was a resident of East Worcester [Otsego Co. NY].
A few days before old Jimmy Cox sickened and died, he was sawing wood for a family in the village. The lady of the house asking him his age, he replied 92. "Well, Mr. Cox, I suppose you are so anxious to live now, as you were fifty years ago." The old man took his short pipe out of his mouth, looked the lady in the face, and with humble tone replied: "I don't know, if the Lord should take a fancy to me, I'd be willing to lie down and die at once." Rep & Dem.
