__________________________
Died in the town of Willet, Cortland County [NY] on the 13th inst. after a short but painful illness. Mrs. Mary Fisher wife of Mr. John Fisher, Jun. and daughter of the late Capt. Robert Willson of Philadelphia.
The death of Mrs. Fisher excites in those whose feelings are ardent, and who look through the glittering vistas of pleasure and prosperity to the gilded dreams of distinction and eminence, a sentiment which emphatically says,
"And false the light on glory's plume / As fading hues at eve'n; / And love and hope and beauty's bloom, / Are blossoms gather'd for the tomb. / There's nothing true but heaven."
The deceased possessed a mind well cultivated and talents, genius and mental endowments which were truly extraordinary. But this brilliant luminary in the female horizon is forever set. Her friends will no more be enlivened by her wit and vivacity, nor will their tastes be refined and their minds improved by her superior requirements, but the feeling heart will never cease to vibrate when contemplating her uncommon powers to charm and improve the understanding. She had been for a year or more past secluded in a great measure from congenial society with little else to wed her to life but the ardent affection of an amiable husband. She was soon to remove where she could enjoy the society of which she was the pride and ornament. but Alas! death has interposed his unrelenting mandate - the grave has closed upon her earthly hopes and prospects and her friends are left to mourn and lament that she has been taken from them thus prematurely. the dispensations of Providence, however, are wisely ordered and to them we are bound to submit without a murmur.
The deceased was brought to this village where her funeral obsequies were performed and her remains consigned to the tomb, amid the tears of her relations and the responsive sympathies of her numerous friends and acquaintance.

At Schuyler's Lake [Otsego Co. NY], Feb 15th, 1879, Mrs. George Angell aged 69 years and 4 months.
Mrs. Angell had long been a resident of Exeter [Otsego Co. NY], and a life of purity and uprightness work her many friends. Of a charitable and sympathetic nature, she never failed to assist the suffering or alleviate the sorrows of the distressed, if possible so to do. She bore her long illness uncomplainingly, dying as she had lived, calmly and peacefully. Slowly and imperceptibly, as it were, the sands of life ran out - death closing in like the twilight of a summer's eve. Although our aged friend has gone out from our midst, yet there are treasured up in memory's casket, bright mementoes of a life richly freighted with kind and generous deeds. The reward of the just awaits her, a glorious resurrection and a blissful immortality.
