Marriage

Deaths
At his residence in this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], on the morning of Thursday (24th inst.) Mr. Edward McKinney, after a short illness, aged 42 years.
The deceased was an excellent citizen. He left this, his native village, at the age of 19 for the village of Cooperstown [Otsego Co. NY] where he remained about the same number of years, extensively and successfully connected with a Cotton Factory and returned among us about four years ago.
In his business he was industrious and faithful, acquiring a very handsome property; in his principles, firm and honest, securing confidence and respect; in his disposition, remarkably quiet and peaceable, making no enemies; in his life, exemplary and useful, leaving behind him a salutary influence. When such men pass from among us, the public sustains a loss and society mourns a vacancy.

In Providence, Pa., May 17th, Miss Elizabeth White, aged 19 years, daughter of Mr. Horace White, formerly of this village [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY]. Her funeral was attended by a large concourse of friends who deeply sympathize with the family in their severe affliction.
Mr. White moved to Providence from this village about a year ago, taking with him as the ornament and idol of the family this intelligent, amiable and lovely daughter. She was then in the pride of youth and beauty; the joy of an admiring circle. Her sun of life was ascending without a cloud, shedding on every side his golden rays and promising a brilliant meridian. But she has gone, where the sun never sets and where the flowers that have budded on earth, bloom forever in Heaven.

Deaths
In this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY] March 3d, Mrs. Louisa C. Hollister widow of Harvey Hollister in the 73d year of her age. Funeral from the Presbyterian Church this (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Another most patient and submissive sufferer, chastoned and sanctified through repeated afflictions and prolonged illness has passed to her rest. A steadfast, humble, lovely Christian has finished her conflict and gained her crown. The church which has been blessed with her example and her prayers, mourns its own loss, yet rejoices in her gain. Numerous friends who have these many years known her goodness, offer their sympathies to a bereaved family. Ever pleasant and precious to them all, friends and kindred, will be her memory.
