Suddenly of apoplexy in Stamford [Delaware Co. NY] on Thursday last, Mr. John Dales in the 58th year of his age.

The deceased was among the early settlers of this county.  He has ever been distinguished for habits of industry and frugality. Long a member of the Rev. Mr. Forrest's Church, he diligently devoted himself to the cause of religion and virtue.  But "in the midst of life we are in death."  He has been suddenly taken from the world, leaving a large circle of kindred and friends to lament the loss of an affectionate relative, a valuable citizen and an exemplary member of society.

Death

We learn, says the Freeman's Journal, through a correspondent in Columbus, Chenango Co. [NY] that Mr. Arnold Pope of that town was found dead in his barn on the morning of the 8th instant.  The circumstances are stated as follows:  He had been to the village of New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] during the day and returned home about 7 o'clock in the evening, one of his neighbors having seen and conversed with him about a mile from his dwelling, when he appeared in good health and spirits.  It appeared from circumstances that after reaching home, he loosed his horse from the cutter, led him into the barn and commenced taking off the harness, having one of his mittens in his teeth, when he was instantly deprived of life.  No bruises or other injury was discovered upon him when found in the morning.  It is stated that the deceased was a worthy citizen, who has left a wife and several children to lament the loss of a kind husband and an affectionate parent.  How true the scriptural saying that "in the midst of life we are in death."
