Death
From the New Berlin Sentinel: At New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] on the 11th inst. Silas A. Conkey in the 40th year of his age of a lingering and painful Typhoid Fever, which he bore with great fortitude and resignation, leaving a young and interesting family whose loss nothing on earth can supply.
As a husband and parent, he loved his family with a tenderness which only strong and ardent feelings can experience. His anxiety for their welfare was constantly upon his mind and often the subject of his conversation with his intimate friends, even amid the fatigues and anxieties of his varied and extensive business.
As a neighbor, few men ever carried the principle of kindness to a greater extent, or with more good will and cheerfulness than the deceased. Nothing within his power to grant was ever refused, though the accommodation often subjected himself to inconveniences and loss.
As a friend, he was constant and firm, and very many will remember how readily he would lay aside his own urgent business and with what kindness and interest listen to the story of their troubles and difficulties, and when told, with what alacrity and disinterestedness he would espouse their cause and aid them not only with his good advice but with his services and his purse.
In him, the poor have sustained an irreparable loss. Liberal and benevolent to those who were in want, not like the Pharisee, "that he might be seen of men," but from a principle of pure, humble and unassuming benevolence. He gave with a kind heart and open hand, and influences others to do likewise. Often has he sought out the poor, sick and suffering and supplied their wants, without their knowing by whom the necessary aid was supplied.
This community will long remember and sincerely regret the loss they have sustained in the death of one of their most useful, enterprising and active citizens. As a businessman, there is, perhaps, not his superior to be found in any society. His indefatigable industry and irrepressible energy enabled him to conduct and manage with great order and regularity his multifarious and extensive business and well it is said of him that whatever he undertook was quickly done and well done. And it is lamentable to think that from great fatigue and over exertion, a disease should have been brought on which has terminated fatally and deprived society of so active and useful a member in the meridian of life - and in the midst of his usefulness.
The powers of his mind were of a superior cast. He saw at once the various aspects and bearings of any subject presented to his consideration and seemed to arrive at just conclusions, with intuitive knowledge. And though not possessing the advantages of a liberal education, yet his extraordinary powers of comprehension and investigation enabled him to master with ease the most abstruse subjects. With the little time the active duties of his business allowed him for reading and reflection he had made himself well acquainted with the great truths and leading principles of the arts and sciences.
For many years before his death, he had become seriously impressed with the truth and importance of the Christian Religion and liberally contributed to its support. And frequently during his sickness he has expressed his confidence in the merits of his Savior and an entire submission to the will of the Almighty.
In all the relations of life, he was in truth a most worthy and estimable citizen and will long be remembered and lamented. But a wise Providence has seen fit to call him from us to "that undiscovered country, from whose bourn no traveler returns," verifying, most strikingly, the words of sacred writ, "that in the midst of life, we are in death." How forcibly does this instance of deplored and unlooked for mortality, admonish each and all to be in readiness to meet the great and fearful change.
